This coercive conversion of non-Muslim women is practised in Egypt, Pakistan and India as well. Read their newspapers. And the men who are successful get paid for their efforts. Read this testimony: Confessions of a Former Islamist and decide for yourself what is the truth.

If you know your history you would know that the sikhs also were subdued by the British and subsequently worked for them. Who do you think helped the British subdue the last Muslim uprising against the Brits in 1857? The Sikhs!

Thank you for coming to the crux of the matter. Muslims claim that their Qur'an is a copy of a version kept in heaven and it is the final word of God. But you, having a better understanding than the average ignorant and illiterate muslim, are perfectly aware that much of the content is...

I suggest you read The earliest biography of Muhammad, Sirat Rasoul Allah by ibn Ishaq available online at http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sira/index.htm That will help clear some of your deluded mind.

Perhaps you are not aware of the demographics of Muslim populations: 90% Sunni - remainder Shia, etc.

Mahmud of Ghazna (mämūd', gŭz'na) , 971?–1030, Afghan emperor and conqueror. He defeated (c.999) his elder brother to gain control of Khorasan (in Iran) and of Afghanistan. In his raids against the states of N India, Mahmud, a staunch Muslim, destroyed Hindu temples, forced conversions to Islam...

44:58 And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed. 54:17 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ? 54:22 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?

Perhaps you can interpret the following ayats as well! Excerpt from http://tinyurl.com/j3bf4 I have already said people should read the Qur'an - so they can disabuse themselves of spirituality of this word of God!

More of the Qur'an for you to interpret correctly! Excerpt from http://tinyurl.com/j3bf4 He promises us that in the fight for His cause whether we slay or are slain we return to the garden of Paradise (9:111). In Paradise he will "wed us with Houris (celestial virgins) pure beautiful ones"...

The Qur'an takes away the freedom of belief from all humanity and relegates those who disbelieve in Islam to hell (5:10), calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (9:28), and orders its followers to fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left (2:193). It says that...

Karma yoga (action) Karma yoga focuses on the causes and effects of an individual’s actions. It teaches how to live a life of spiritual action and selfless service. Have you ever seen someone flip a coin in a beggar’s cup and say with a sheepish smile, “I can use all the karma I can get”? The...

Perhaps you are not aware that orthodox muslims accuse Rumi of heresy and blasphemy. I studied Rumi as a teenager and found his writings very attractive. But as an adult I studied the Bhagavad Gita (an excellent and concise translation by Juan Mascaro published by Penguin Classics) and...
