"Islam" means "submit". There is nothing ambiguous about it.

Those who choose to ignore this in order to be politically correct do so at their own (and everybody else's) peril.

I'd be curious to know what were their religious convictions were before the forced conversion.

“I have the highest respect for Islam,” he said.

Maybe he won't after he finds out the punchline. A forced conversion is considered a valid conversion in Islam, and apostasy necessitates the death penalty.

I'd also like to know what's "medieval" about forced conversions. The Catholic Church has always rejected the validity of forced conversions.

But this feel-good moment has a sinister undertone, impossible to ignore: We live in an age when the fastest-growing religion on Earth includes a mushrooming contingent of adherents who are determined to spread their faith through medieval methods.

Is it really the fastest growing religion? I see it as the fastest DYING religion. Methinks this is a global urban legend.

"Convert or die."

Didn't Steve later say that the Palestinian people were a gentle and peace people?


I'm so confused.

Convert or die is hardly a new message; it has been employed by religions in spurts throughout the ages. Sadly, those spurts represent the bloodiest chapters of human history.

No they don't. Not even close. State sponsored atheism murdered more than 200 million in the first 90 years of the 20th Century alone. That's more than all the so-called "religious" wars combined killed in the preceeding 2000 years.

Convert or die? I'm sure this is no big leap for the main stream media, they have so much in common with radical Islam as it is. As for the Hollyweird crowd I wonder what new Islamic name Bill Maher will choose...Wild Bill MoHAMmed?
