Re: "There is no compulsion in religion"
Not all 'Muslims' agree that Islam is a complete code of conduct for life. Although this may be for various reasons depending on the circumstances they have been through in life or are yet to face, some understand that Islam, is a religion, a private faith, that need not be exhibited in actions or daily conduct. For example, not praying unless at home, having loans with interest etc etc because everybody is doing it, but still saying that they believe that there is only Allah and Muhammad (s) is his Messenger, nevertheless. So, us saying it is a fact, doesn't mean, unfortunately, that it is a fact for ALL Muslims.
So I think it was useful for hypnotix to highlight that in this thread.
