I really was speaking from a Western viewpoint..The radical Islamic way of thinking is well known and I reject it.
Their religion looks very weak indeed in my eyes if "conversion by gunpoint" is a legitimate conversion to them..
That's what's been going on for centuries and why Islam has spread to so many far corners of the planet.
I don't think the muslims either care of understand what the circumstances behind said "conversions" were. Perhaps at least in part, through the filtering of the media propaganda made available to them.
