"Where is the line between coercion and other forms of pursuasion or encouragement." That's sort of where I was headed with my last question to CB about if taxes were like coersion. She does have a point though, in what some, if not many, believe in the Mid East. I'm thinking of the Fox News guys that were kidnapped in Lebanon. The cameraman and reporter were forced at riflepoint to "convert" to save their lives. Apparently the kidnappers thought they were doing the right thing in the name of Islam. If that's what the madrassas (sp?) teach, then that's what the followers will believe.
