Khaled: Absolutely right. Islam is all about BELIEF.

Khaled you wrote:

>>Rest assured ---İslam is a religion which requires dedication and belief.<<

You are right Mr. Khaled, Islam requires DEDICATION and BELIEF from its adherents. Belief by definition is not evidence based and is not susceptible to proof. Like belief in fairies. And Muhammad tells you to do exactly that in his Koran:

005.101 YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

005.102 Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.

This is a case of ask no questions and you will be told no lies.

Is this not a kind of force Muhammad alias Allah is exerting on people to dedicate themselves to him?

>>İt (Islam) cannot be forced on anybody no matter what people say<<

It is not people who say that Islam should be forced on people. It is Muhammad in the guise of Allah.

3:85YUSUFALI: If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

61:9 YUSUFALI: It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
PICKTHAL: He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse.
SHAKIR: He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, that He may make it overcome the religions, all of them, though the polytheists may be averse.

Muhammad (and his followers) in the guise of Allah wants to impose his religion, Islam, on everyone even if they detest it.
