I am an RC (roman catholic), been studying islam for a few years, i have accepted islam (will be doing publicly and legally soon) for a mutton biryani (!) and tons of faith. The concept of forced conversion is wrong and converts will never stay for long. It is the conviction that is important. Its that miraculaous book called Koran that does the trick. I challenge the pontiffs of all other faiths to carry as many converts as this single book has done without any assistance from its followers. To all the islam haters do not judge islam by the way muslims are. The present day muslims are far away from islam. Also the next generation of muslims will be from the progeny of the present day muslim haters. Stop the islam bashing, if you really care ensure that your progeny does not come in contact that miracle called Koran, which i am sure you will be able to stop if God wills.
