There is NO Compulsion in Islam....

Just ask this guy....

ISTANBUL, February 19A Christian doctor described receiving various death threats while kidnapped recently by Islamic extremists in an area of Pakistan reeling from extremist violence. Militants in parts of the North West Frontier Province have forced Christians and moderate Muslims to don Islamist garb, have bombed CD shops for perceived decadence and, in the case of Dr. Reginald Zahiruddin, have attempted forced conversion to Islam. Islamist militants released Dr. Zahiruddin on January 2, after kidnapping him 25 days prior and demanding he renounce his faith at gunpoint. The kidnappers told Dr. Zahiruddin that the main reason for his abduction was to force him to convert to Islam. “I was bold enough to refuse, and I even told them that God has the authority of taking my life as he has given it to me,” the doctor said.
