All Christians use the same book, yet how they interpret it and the way they practice can be quite different.

Is there anything in the Bible which encourages Christians to kill, enslave or tax those who don't convert to Christianity? There is nothing that can be reasonably interpreted to mean this. The Koran outright states it in verses that one has to labor to interpret otherwise and frequently cannot be interpreted otherwise.

"Nuconvert". Does that mean you have converted to Islam?

Whether they "labor" or not, and whether you think it "cannot be interpreted otherwise", means nothing. The fact is, they DO.

No. But it's always amusing that because I defend a people's right to peacefully practice their religion and expose prejudice and bigotry, that people question if I am "one of them".
