Let's Write to Congress (www.congress.org)
Dear Representative:
When we read about Christians being killed for converting Muslims keep in mind:
The world needs to realize that conversion to Christianity is different from conversion to Islam. In Christianity, the goal of conversion is to save one's soul from being separated from God (hell is being separated from God and being in what's left - evil) by personal sin. Christians want that relationship with God in heaven for those they love, and the original (not rewritten by Mohammad in the 7th Century after Jesus) Bible says that God wants everyone to turn to him and be saved. However, the Bible also says that evangelizing is being always ready to tell people (when they ask) the reason for a Christian's peace and joy and love and not to be rude or obnoxious about spreading the "good news" about salvation. The Bible also says there is a freedom to choose between death and life and that Christians should just be good examples of their faith, always ready to explain it, and love and pray for those who refuse Christianity.
Conversion to Islam is an unconditional, unquestioning surrender to the principles in the Qur'an and imitation of the sayings/example of Mohammad in the Sunnah/Haddith. The Qur'an itself states the three ways conversion is to be offered: voluntary conversion (to be rewarded with privilege and plunder and impunity for crimes against non-Muslims), acceptance of dhimmitude (subjugated to Muslims, which includes plunder and virtual slavery) until conversion, or conversion by the sword (a choice of convert or be murdered). Once converted, leaving Islam (being apostate) is punishable by death. Trying to convert a Muslim to any other faith is also punishable by death as Sharia law (which merely enforced Islamic principles) claims worldwide jurisdiction over Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Indeed, Mohammad's doctrine of taysir declares that enforcing Sharia law is the obligation of every Muslim unless there are not enough Muslims/Muslims in power to enforce Sharia, and then only until there are enough.
