Also,as stated in an earlier post,the Bible doesn't require its adherents to "convert" others at the point of death or slavery.It's been done,but it wasn't Biblical. In fact,by Biblical standards,that wouldn't even be considered a true conversion-a forced one. It's unbiblical.

The teachings of the Koran are exactly opposite-the Koran itself advocates the spread of islam by forced conversion,even at the point of the sword.It doesn't care about the "heart" change.

You are a good Muslim because you perform this or that ritual at the prescribed times the ritual is to be preformed and you don't eat pork or other prohibited foods. Also, charity toward other Muslims scores you points with the Moon-god. How you treat non-Muslims is irrelevant.
The Bible states that outward works must come from an inward change of the heart, else they are mere hypocrisy. Furthermore, both the Old and New Testaments enjoin believers to treat non-believers with the same kind of justice dispensed to believers (Amalekites, Canaanites, etc, are exceptions beause of their condition of reprobation).
