[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While you may not be able to verbally force conversion, you use plenty of other tactics:

1. Jizya- tax-- Are we getting that verse wrong from the Quran too?

[b]In Islam Jizya may not be imposed on women, children the disabled, the elderly or the poor YET the Islamic State MUst provide shelter, protection to nonMuslims in exchange and they may NOT compel nonMuslims to military duty. How is this oppressive? Remember that Muslim countries don't really impose Jizya anymore.
[/b]
2. Witholding of jobs-- ask the Christian and Hindu families in Pakistan about this.

[b]Are you kidding me? Have you visited Pakistan? I have. My uncle's father was brutally murdered by Hindus and had to flee to Pakistan during the war. Have you visited India? I have. In fact my father lived there for a while. Muslims are still intensely discriminated in jobs despite their qualifications. You like to speak with great authority. You have illusions of grandeur about your understanding of the world and Islam. I do question, however, how many Muslims you personally know, how many scholars or Imams you have personally spoken to, and how many Muslim countries you have visited for an extended period of time or lived in. You have such a big ego that you can't possibly imagine being wrong about anything on the subject of Islam. But here you are, wrong again. You would learn more with a dose of humility.

3. "Love Jihad"-- Google it- it's rampant in England and India.

4. Destruction of other religious places of worship. -- plenty to choose from.

[b]Yes. And historically, only Muslims destroyed other people's places of worship. Are you joking?!
[/b]

5. The Almighty Sword.-- An Islamic tradition--  
    -Ask the MILLIONS of Sikhs and Hindus killed during partition.
 
    -The Hindus in Kashmir forced to flee or convert or die.- Read up on the ethnic cleansing and forced exit of over 400,000 Kashmiri Hindu Pundits. Many whom still, 20 years later, still  live in refugee camps.

[b]You have a lot of nerve bringing up people who were killed during this partition because I don't think you even knew ONE person who died. I did. I have family members that were directly impacted by this partition. So get off your high horse and try living there to understand what it was truly like for Muslims also. 
[/b]
    -The Hindus and Christians still being persecuted today in Pakistan.

[b]Sorry but Pakistan is one of the most corrupt Muslim countries. It's not a role model for true Islam.
[/b]
    - The current persecution in Burma, forcing Hindus to flee and seek refugee status elsewhere, including here in the U.S.

-The GENOCIDE in Bangladesh. --http://www.genocidebangladesh.org

-The beheading of Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur for not converting by Aurangzeb during his bloody mission to convert all of India to Islam.      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Tegh_Bahadurhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Tegh_Bahadur

But they're not TRUE Muslims right?  No one is truly compelling anyone to convert right? They have no idea whatsoever about the religion they claim to practice.  And they've had no idea for 1000s of years either it seems.  They keep making the same mistakes, over and over and over…

[b]But remember, you don't put much relevance in what PEOPLE do, right? Isn't that what you said to Jeff? You want scriptural proof, which was amply provided. Then when I provided scriptural proof, you changed your mind, shifted, and sought evidence of what the Muslim population does. 
[/b]

Why is it taking so long for such huge numbers of Muslims to get it right??  Why is it taking so long for such huge numbers of Muslims to stop behaving with such violence all.over.the.world??  Across cultures and countries?

[b]Because as Muslima and I have tried to tell you over and over and over again which you simply can't seem to comprehend is that pre Islamic Arabia was a hedonistic, uncivilized, and brutal society. It necessitated Allah send a messenger to warn people. Tribal culture and patriarchal traditions were pervasive,  womens and childrens rights were trampled, there was deception in trade, abusive usury, etc..It is extremely difficult to bring such people to an enlightened state of mind. Islam has accomplished a lot but traditions and cultural mindset are very deeply entrenched.

Why do you focus exclusively on Islam and Muslims? The treatment of native American Indians was tantamount to genocide. What was the Indian Removal Act about? The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was enacted in the late 1800's. What about the genocide of Bosnian Muslims at the hands of Serbs in 1995? Have you ever even known a Bosnian refugee? I was young during that time but my family and I helped many. Do you even know about the Uigher Muslims in China and how they are treated? Do you even know one person who's Uigher from that area that can speak of the mistreatment at the hands of the Chinese government? I do. What about the Palestinian people and the oppression they live under? Do you even know any Palestinian Muslims? I do. So do me a favor…it's time for you to sit down. STOP VILIFYING ISLAM.
