Brees: That was a superb analsis and summary. In particular, the below is very true. Muslims don't believe that they have to convert anyone. We are required to offer the message of Islam, but we are not supposed to argue in favor of conversion or use any form of coercion. We are responsible for removing barriers between human beings and their ability to receive the message of Islam. The primary vehicle for this, of course, is education. We believe Allah calls who Allah wills to his religion and it is not our responsibility if someone rejects the message. Our religion tells us to invite in the way of Islam, but it is only Allah (God) that can "convert" anyone. Peace be unto you, Norris
