Christianity has already passed through that "convert or die" stage.
I don't consider that I have a good sample if I base my opinions about Islam only on Muslims I have met and have had an opportunity to discuss theology with. They are all professionals (psychiatrists) who have emigrated to America, and became citizens, one of whom said he took a trip back home to Pakistan and never felt so scared in his entire life. Even the ones who attend services at their local mosque have a lassez-faire approach to religion. I read the Koran.

Exactly, that is why I get pissed off whenever I hear that Islam is a violent religion.
In reality, it is actually more peaceful and forgiving than Christianity. |

They were in power. They hardly had to do suicide attacks when they could just summon the victim to the torture chamber.

You could, but you'd be wrong.

I think you could pass him back if, for example, you publicly renounce your belief that the sun revolves around the earth.

You might be surprised by the credibility of the ammonia soaked homeless dudes you pass, should you spend time in conversation with them. I doubt that you'll be surprised by Phil.
