			<description><![CDATA[asalamu alaikum,____in Islam intention is the most important, since deeds are according to your intentions, so it doesnt really make sense if you are forced to be a musllim if you clearly dont have intention.__on the flip side the christians forced people to convert to christianity, the crusade is a great example.__in muslim countries you have small minority of christians living their, they are not forced to accept Islam. so how could you say Islam is spreading by the sword?__within 100 years have you heard or witnessed any of muslim groups going to christians and forcing them to accept Islam? __if you wanna know about Islam, ask a muslim. the cure of ignorance is asking.__ma salama]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One part of the word "Islam" means 'sincerity' Question: Can you 'force' anyone to be 'sincere'? No, of course not. So look to the Bible (sword appears over 200 times) and compare to Quran (no word sword) Tell us what you think about that???]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If forced marriages are not allowed in Islam then there is no Question of Forced Conversions. People should do things out of their own free will. So they will enjoy doings things & not make it a burden upon them.]]></description>
