The following appeared in an Associated Press article:
see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,214318,00.html for the whole article.
"Al Qaeda in Iraq warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday (9/18/06) that its war against Christianity and the West will go on until Islam takes over the world...
Al Qaeda in Iraq and its allies issued a statement addressing the pope as "a cross-worshipper" and warning "You and the West are doomed...You infidels and despots, we will continue our jihad (holy war) and never stop until God avails us to chop your necks and raise the fluttering banner of monothesism, when God's rule is established governing all people and nations..."
If the Islamic radicals get their way and they take over the world the only way you can live is to convert to Islam.
QUESTION: Would you yield to their demand and become a Muslim in order to save your life or would you remain faithful to what you believe in even though it will cost you your life?

All the prophecies in God's Word, the Bible concerning the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ have come true. It is safe to assume that the remaining prophecies concerning Jesus' second coming will also be true.
In Rev 13, 14:1-11 a prophecy was given stating that there will be a leader of a one world governement, called the Beast, that will be killed and then come back to life. After that, a religious leader will rise and make a statue of the beast, require everyone to worship his image, and receive a mark on their right hand or their forehead bearing the name of the beast or the number of his name (666). If anyne refuses to do so, he will be beheaded. According to the Word of God, if you receive the mark of the beast you will be eternally damned.
Islam is the only religion today that will behead you if you don't convert. The end time religion may not be Islam but if we are alive when this prophecy happens then we will be challenged to either convert or lose our life

absolutely NOT! I would NEVER convert! I would gladly die instead.
Philippians 1:21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

There is no question that ones who are in certain faiths who believe they are right will never change. They would die first.
However I also believe that Muslims will never stop killing and terrorizing until they are destroyed. It will come down to a war between Christians and Muslims and both sides will fight to the death. For some reason after centuries of living together peacefully something has made Muslims decide to become a threat to the whole world. They will force Christians to retaliate and fight to the death. It is enviable and a lot of innocent people will die. However like a mad man of a destructive course it now cannot be stopped.

Oh, I asked a similar question today.
I'm an Atheist. I would accept any religion except for Islam in order to save my own life. I know what I believe in my heart, and I can always let others think otherwise. However, death is preferable to me over their beliefs.
Now, here's a different take. If I was told I had to accept Islam in order to save the lives of my children or loved ones.....of course I'd accept Islam as my religion.
But I wouldn't do it quietly.

Americans are so very dumb, over all they think, that they can change a Tiger from a meat eater to eating veggie burgers. The same is true with these people. They are proclaiming what they will do, and they will do it. Americans really do need to wake up and start buying all the guns and ammo they can buy. It's bad real bad. Best regards

I will also kill before they kill me defending my belief. I would never bow my head over to those whose God is a bloodthirsty one. The destruction of the unfaithful ones does not lie in my hands but in the real God whose name is yet to be known. I will let vengeance of God to prevail before me.

I would never convert to such a religion. Ever. These people don't worship God. They worship the devil pretending to be God.

They are merely doing what their co-terrorists have been doing down the ages since 622AD. They succeeded in the middle ages thanks to the horse, sword and gunpowder.This time, they should be nuked out of existence, whenever they crawl out of their caves.

Muslims cannot even defend their own nations, much less "take over the world."
Faux News viewers and Bush supporters truly are some of the most stupid people on the planet.
