If someone held a gun to your head, would you become a Muslim?

Question

It has happened recently.

Serious answers only.

Neither would I.

Answer 1

No, that would be like giving up your soul.

Answer 2

Seriously speaking you don't convert to ANY religion, or any organised set of ideas, thoughts or values, by force. Conversion implies deep and thorough acceptance. So it is impossible to be forced to convert. That's an absurdity. All you can do by force is follow some of the rituals or behavioural patterns that the church demands, but without even experiencing the feeling that these rituals are meant to make you feel.

I know that this did recently happen, to some journalists, I think. Well, these people may be externally "converted" but deep in their hearts, they are not Muslims.

BTW, if someone held a gun to my head, I would do practically everything. But that couldn't change my mind about practically anything.

Answer 3

no one has to put a gun to my head to be a Muslim, i already am one.

By the way, Muslims do not put guns to people's heads to force them to convert. Perverted terrorists who don't know anything about Islam do that because they have this false assumption that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Even in Islam, if our life is threatened in a similar manner (i.e. to become a Christian) we can say with our tongue that we change our religion to escape the threatening situation, but in our heart, we remain Muslims.

Answer 4

Noone can be forced to believe in something else than they genuinely believe in. You could point a gun at someone's head and tell them to become a muslim or die and they'd most probably lie and claim to be a muslim while still keeping their previous beliefs.

Answer 5

Well I don't know. Is that what they are after. If they held a gun to my head to get my wallet I don't see how suddenly becoming a Muslim would be very pertinent.

Do you see what I am saying, my friend?

Answer 6

I wouldn't turn to any religion if someone held a gun to my head, Muslim or christian or whatever other religion. Would I fake to become Muslim, christian or whatever? Probably yes, unless I didn't want to live anymore anyway.

Answer 7

I would say yes, but I wouldn't mean it. When he takes the gun away from me, I'll turn around and start to kick his @ss.

You mentioned that has happened recently-that's fuc/

Answer 8

I'd be just the same, Muslim until the gun was gone.

Answer 9

I would not. ive been taught a few moves to disarm people of their handguns. attempting to disarm and kill my opponent would be a good chance. here are my choices:
a) die a Christian
b) worship satan/allah
c) fight. possibly die a Christian, possibly survive.
the best andswer is C.
It has been happening since the false prophet mohamed invented islam. it happens now in africa. somewhere, right now, somebody is being forced to worship satan/allah. in some countries the people arent forced to worship satan, but their ancestors were, so that is all they know and theres a satanic network in place to keep them on their knees 5 times a day.

Answer 10

No, but I would make them think so. They do not know what is in your heart. It is brain power! mess with their heads a little. Say OK, go to their church or whatever, let it be the law or whatever, but remember, this is only like a job or school or something that you just have to do. To get you through this, converse with your faith in your head.
Follow your heart but don't get yourself killed.

Answer 11

For the sake of my children, l would try to save myself. I know this happened, but to change religion it has to come from the heart, not a gun to the head.
