Would you convert to Islam if threatened with the sword?

Ironic since Jewish people have always been tolerant of my beliefs, while Christians it was a mixed bag.

Kacen, I understand what you are referring to... Christianity has the whole Inquisition thing hanging over their head, I often felt great anger over that knowing that someone like me, had I lived back then, would have been burnt as a "heretic." However, I see the whole thing as more of a power grab, than something that had anything to do with Christianity.

Kacen, as far as I can tell, I may be mistaken, there is not any love in it. Love for God? Maybe... Love for anyone else? I haven't seen it in what I have read of the Koran, nor in the babblings of these fanatics who continuously scream "Allah-Akbar."
