Right to Convert

Submitted by Ross Howard (Australia), Aug 30, 2007 at 01:40

I recently read that in Norway there has been agreement between Christian groups and the Islamic Council of Norway, that there should be a right to convert from one religion to another.

That would be a good starting place. Perhaps if the Right to Convert was pushed worldwide, AND it's acceptance made a condition of trade, commerce, visas, migration etc., then we might get somewhere. Because a bit of backbone and stick is needed, rather than just fine rhetoric and feel-good statements.
