forced conversion to Christianity

You cannot force conversion to Christianity. They should be given the news of Christ's forgiveness, allowed to choose to accept him or not, and be executed.

'Twas tongue in cheek, considering past practice
of Muslims to engage in sword-point conversions.
Note the reference to questioning about this in
the Koran.

Next time I'll explicitly use a sarcasm torpedo.

Conversions aren't as hard as they might seem --- look at England when it went from Catholic to Protestant under King Henry the VIII --- a lot of people just go with the flow. Get rid of the leaders of Islam --- and many of the people will be freed to choose whatever religion they chose --- many would choose something other than Islam if they didn't fear execution as they do now.

Spain forced conversions of Muslims --- just by torturing a few leaders and giving the rest a choice to convert or leave.
