There are some major mistakes about information (About Islam and Christianity) you posted. We have discussed these issues with web based references but it seems you stayed with wrong information. For example, the religion of Islam started with the first couple on earth (Adam and Eve). Also forced conversion is NOT permissible by the religion and there were NO major event of forced conversion.
hristianity started its religious conquest through Crusade (1095-1291) to counter Islamic conversion and hegemony around the world.
Also missionary Christianity started much earlier than the time you stated (Much earlier than crusade). Crusade itself had NO link with missionaries.
Within hours from now Muslims of Bangladesh will be celebrating Eid-Ul-Azha and it had NO relation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Rather few thousand years ago a prophet name Ibrahim or Abraham (PBUH). The whole ritual of hajj is mostly honoring customs and events from prophet Abraham (PBUH).
Therefore, the notion Islam is the newest religion is factually WRONG.
You wrote...
In contrast, some Islamic groups still continue forceful, coercive, and deceitful tactics for religious conversion
The dream of Islamic world among many Muslims may be polarizing the world into two poles: Islamic and non-Islamic. Many of those conversions are targeted towards younger generation.
>>>>>>>>> As I stated forced or deceitful conversion is NOT permitted in Islam. If Muslims wanted use force (Like Hindu did with Buddhists), they had more than ample opportunities to do so. They ruled India nearly a thousand years. They also ruled Southern Europe for 800 years and NO scholars ever said Muslims forced people to convert. This was a practice in European Christians but not Muslims.
If you feel the information I shared was not accurate, please share your sources of information (Not another opinion but from scholars).
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Religious Conversion
Member Roy,
>>>>>>>>> Islam is the fastest growing religion in Europe and America. Kindly show in which place force was used to convert anyone. Your lack of respect to Islam was evident with many previous posts but these are distortion of facts. I hope an educated person like yourself will consider being honest with your blogs and opinions.
