I don't doubt that they would wish to convert me. And, if they couldn't they would kill me. This may seem quite logical to a muslim. It is not logical to humanity(in my western philosophical view), but I doubt they care.

Before y'all break out in hosannas over how much more humane christianity is than islam, you might consider consulting the historical record as to what religion holds the slam dunk world's record over putting folks to the sword or torch for refusing to convert.

I won't dispute that one. I am aware of Christianity's past reputation. It does not fit my philosophy. I also don't believe those deeds were what Christ intended as a method of conversion.

Perhaps you should reread my posts. I have not proposed a acceptance or denial of any religion or philosophy. For me all religion is unknown and is by faith and belief. I am also aware of the many atrocities or benefits by faith and belief upon mankind. Religion is not my aspiration.
