Hello everybody once again,

The verses in the quran that you have been pertaining to, you have taken it out of context. The reason why those verses in the quran were revealed was because the companions of prophet muhammad peace be upon him were hesitant in fighting the people who were attacking them. so Allah said that, on the day of resurrection he will make the hypocrites fear allah. which is what all muslims should have in there hearts, fear. the arabic word does not mean terrorize. it is a verb which is to put fear into a persons heart of allah. it does not mean terrorize. and to notify of the hypocrites. they were people who pretended to be muslim and would lie and slander the muslims. so allah said not to worry, they will be punished in the here after.

and here in lies the question. why are people converting to islam. why is islam the fastest going religion if it is forced on people. I know many people who have converted from christianity and judaism to islam. I know many scientists and doctors who have converted. Right now the reason for conversion is the scientific accuracy in the quran. The quran speaks about the big bang theory. it says "Don't the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were once joined together and how I cloved them acsunder. Verily Allah has power over all things". The Quran speaks about the sky. "And we have made for you a sky as a canopy (Protected roof)" and we now know that the sky protects us from meotiorites." there are about 500 more scientific proofs in the quran. it will be hard to mention them all here. I would like to talk about a story of 6 english scientist and there conversion to islam. there were 6 english scientists. they were studying about islam. they found information about a Black Stone which muslims say is from heaven. This black stone is in makkah. So they travelled to makkah and scraped off a sample of the stone. when they went back to england and studied the rock they immediately became muslim in about 6 hours. What they found was that the type of molecule that rock had could not have been from anywhere else but heaven. and that peace of the black stone is still in england in a museum. so muslims do not blindly follow islam because of fear of murder. in islam in even teaches you not to take islam because of your father. but study other religion and choose the path you think is right. Verily allah guides whom he wills.
