Cogent post, RCG. Accurate and on point. The Muslims are not the only ones who engaged in forcible conversion. The Christians did too. Particularly so during the reconquest of Spain. The Muslims and Jews were given the choice of converting or leaving all, including their native land, behind. Yeah, you can say they were given a choice. Some choice. For many it proved a bad choice, for then the authenticity of their conversion was questioned and rumors of secret Jewish and Islamic services and prayers were heard- -and the Spanish Inquisition came to life, with all it is reviled for. Many of those conversos soon found themselves jailed, tortured, and killed.
