That actually doesn't sound too far from what Christians tell
nonbelievers -- Believe in Jesus or you are condemned to eternity in
hell --
so... what's the difference. You are dead meat if you don't believe "our
way" whatever your religion is.

I read Queen Noor Al-Hussein's memoirs and she basically says the same
thing.

But I do know that Islam is one of those religions that is very fervent
in its belief that those who don't agree with it are considered to be
very, very wrong -- to the point that a convert to Christianity might be
murdered by his family in an attempt to save his/her soul.


You don't see the difference between being killed for what you believe
versus someone expressing to you what they believe would be the eternal
consequence of your spiritual choices?

Really?
