Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

I think this post is unfair. No one is saying that coercion or force to accept a religion is allowed … My earlier point was in order to mitigate religion being made a farce a certain level of intolerance needs to be exercised to prevent people from leaving it or for that matter accepting it in the first place.

The mouse trap example is hence not fair to this scenario - because a mouse trap is a lure where the outcome is deceptive and imprisonment - whereas what I was arguing was openness - ***should you enter then it has to be for life - if you have doubts then stay away …

***Do you see how different these are? We do not say “you are free to enter” … we say “be warned it is not easy being a Muslim are you sure that is what you want to do?” And we also do not say “Be Muslim” or you are dead" because that again is compulsion.

Encouraging people using tiered means to remain in the religion that they chose is not equal to death penalty either … It would be better for such people to live elsewhere. I hope my position is clearer.

who has the authority of ‘warning’ people that being a Muslim is not easy. It is the individual’s free will to enter or leave Islam. No one has the right to judge anyone’s heart.

If you’re afraid the person will accept Islam and then later on rejects it .. why does it matter ? Rejecting faith is as much of a freedom as accepting it. Just like how you can’t force someone to accept Islam, you cant force anyone to stay in Islam. A person born in Muslim family has the freedom to leave Islam if his heart is not satisfied.

You’ll end up seeing a huge chaos if you decide to kill anyone who decide to stay Muslim but choose different sect in Islam. Sunnis killing shias, shias killing sunnis.. deobandi, ismaeli, wahabi.. all killing their people for leaving their sets of beliefs..

There are more attacks on Islam by non muslims than there are by people who accept and then reject Islam. You do not kill them for their freedom of choice in faith, for God sake!

What’s rather strange is that Muslims in their countries are free to do anything, but cannot tolerate if the same law is applied by the Christian world on them in their countries. You are very strict and very aggressive towards minorities in your country when they preach their religion.. but you cry when the same is done to you by majority of Christians, when you are the minority in their countries. You demand equal rights in their countries as a minority.. but when the same demand is made by minorities of your countries, you show your true face.
