Forced Conversions to Islam
It happens, read this article if you don't believe it or think that forced conversions to Islam are a thing of the past only done in the 600 to 1800's.
The link that we mentions references the forced conversion to Islam on video of the two Fox News reporters that were kidnapped just a few weeks ago in the Gaza Strip. Both were forced by threat of death to embrace the Muslim faith on video. Both have recanted now that they have been released.
What kind of a religion forces conversions to their faith at gunpoint? Well unfortunately this is the historical background of how the Muslim empire in the 600 to 1800's has operated. This is nothing new. Unfortunately for these two reporters, their careers in the Middle East are over for as now that they have recanted their conversion, they are really huge targets. They are now believers who have been lead astray and now will need to be severely corrected or eradicated to prevent others of the faith from being contaminated by them.
Historically as Muslims invaded the Middle East and parts of Europe they forced large populations to convert to the Muslim faith to prevent being killed. Many populations and whole towns and villages were simply either slaughtered or forcibly removed and sold in slave markets in Morocco. Forced conversions to the faith are not new to the Muslim faith.
What would you do if you had a gun to your head. Convert or not? If you converted and then the governing Muslim population took your children from you to raise them as faithful Muslims in another city or country what would you do?
Historically some in the populations during the aggressive jihad period did convert to the Muslim faith. Many of these countries are still Muslim today. Just look at Turkey, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the other "stan" countries in the Balkans. They were all part of the old Muslim conquest and the Muslim Caliphate.
Some of these population refused to convert and were killed. Their children were then still taken either to become slaves, moved into harems of the powerful and elite, boys and girls used as sexual concubines, and the cream of the crop of young men forced into the elite military troop for Caliph. These young men were removed from their countries of origin, trained aggressively in the Muslim faith and militarily, and then forced then to fight their own countrymen on the behalf of the Caliph in their originating countries.
I find the matter of forced conversions a difficult one to address and one that however will not go away by just pretending that it was a fluke or just an aggressive group of captors that did this to the Fox reporters. Forced conversions are part of bringing the external Muslim jihad to the world. Get ready for when you are asked the question as you may be one day, do you convert or not? Do you give your children over or die?
If you want more information on the history of jihad I recommend that you read The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate if the Non-Muslims by Dr. Andrew Bostom. His book will enlighten you on what has happened already and the history that has shaped the Islamic Extremist identity of today.
