read this please, it`s an extract from the translation of the holy Quran
[22:40]
(They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, "our Lord is God". Did not God check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of God is commemorated in abundant measure. God will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily God is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will).
Explanation of the verse is below

* V.40 : To allow a righteous people to fight against a ferocious and mischief-loving people was fully justified. But the justification was far greater here, when the little Muslim community was not only fighting for its own existence against the Makkan Quraish, but for the very existence of the Faith in the One True God. They had as much right to be in Makkah and worship in the Ka’ba as the other Quraish; yet they were exiled for their Faith. It affected not the faith of one peculiar people. The principle involved was that of all worship, Jewish or Christian as well as Muslim, and of all foundations built for pious uses.

Just to point out, I didn't know these guys were forced into Islam?
-Malcom X (born Malcolm Little)
-Mohammed Ali (born Cassius Clay)
-Kareem Abdul Jabar (Formerly known as Ferdinand Alcinder)
-Yusef Islam (Formerly known as Cat Stevens)
It's the fastest growning religion in the world (specifically the US & Europe) today, and I don't recall hearing much about people converting at gun point over here.
Don`t forget the difference between Saladin`S TREATMENT TO NON-MUSLIMS & the Crusade kings`s, BONEHEADS
