Correct. You cannot force a conversion. However, you can force freedom into totalitarian countries, just like we did in various spanish possessions, germany, and japan. And when freedom of religion exists, the superior religion will begin to gain converts. By their fruits shall ye know them.

Ann Coulter is being forgivably excited here. But what I don't understand is how you can pretend that Islam is a superior religion. While it is perfectly acceptable to worship Allah or a tree, both of these forms of worship are meaningless if the christian God exists. And even if the christians are wrong, at least their worship and civilization recognizes god-given human rights for all, unlike Islam which still practices slavery and oppresses women.

If you think holding countries accountable for harboring and training those animals is a "wrong", you might feel more comfortable at www.taliban.com

I don't believe in forcing Christianity, for all I care now we could force atheism on them. Or at the least, they should eliminate their blood-lusting mullahs and re-write certain portions of their Koran quickly themselves.

No mention of forcing them to convert. Just to convert them. Christians have been doing that at home and abroad for a long time.

Coulter was brief and perhaps you're reading more into her piece than what she intended. The Bible is clear that God places His effectual call on those Whom He chooses to save (i.e. be "born again.") From there man is regenerated, forgiven, converted and justified. As Christ's viceregents we merely share the meaning of the Bible, especially the soteriological issues, and God opens their eyes and hearts, leading them to repentance. This is basic theology and the failure of the church to teach this has allowed for the spread of Islam and other false religions and cults.

yet these ANIMALS that practice ISLAM can and *do* try to force their view of the world on us. Hmm.... you've never read anything in the Koran have you? Ever had a middle eastern studies course in College? I have.

The core of the Koran calls for Muslims to convert non-muslims to Islam by occupation, coersion, or FORCE if necessary. That is the CORE MESSAGE of Islam, and it is undeniable.

Muslims believe that Mohammed was a prophet of God. He was not. God did not send ANY prophet that advocated violence or the MURDER of others that did not practice a specific faith. Yet, that is exactly what Islam advocates.

Muslims know "convert or DIE" as part of their "religion."

They are animals, and should be treated as such IMO.

True, but Ann did not say "force conversion," she simply said convert them to Christianity. To that I say, "Amen!"

Ammon-Centrist - I should have figured you would show up here. Always the level-headed, love is good and always right, pacifist.

If your daughters life had been cut short by the terrorist I'm confident you would change your tune.

Read Ecclesiastes 3:1 & 8. Tell me - Which two of the four "times" listed best describes these days?

Ann never said we should "force" them to convert. (That's not conversion, anyway -- conversion comes from the heart.) Just to convert them.
