Not true. What prevents those who were forced to believe to convert? Why are noew people converting? rophet Muhammad died ages ago.
Let go. You do not want to believe in Islam, fine. Believe in whatever makes sense to you. We can still look at ways to make the world a better place instead of discussions of this sort.

I am not a moslem, nor an Islamist.
I do not think that Mohammed forces people to worhip Allah or enter Islam. In the same way that Jesus does not force people to Worship Jehovah or enter Christianity.
Islam , Judaism and Christianity are all Abrahamic religions IE the all stem from the first Prophet Abraham. You will find in the Koran many of the same stories you find in the Talmud and the Old Testament.
One of these is the story of Adam and Eve where God has given man freewill, all of these religions recognise that the exercising of this freewill was a stepping back from Gods laws and that salvation can only be found through the word of God.
If you take the time you will find that the underlying beliefs of Islam, Christianity and Judaism are not that much different and in many respects it is possible they are all referring to the same God but by a different name.
To the Jews he is called "i am who I am" to the Christians he is Jehovah or Jahway, tio the Moslem he is Allah.
Good luck with your journey

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not fight to spread Islam with the intention to force them converting. He fought to remove the leaders who are building a sort of barrier between the normal people and Islam religion.
After he removes the leaders, he gives the normal people 3 options:
1) Convert to Islam.
2) If not, pay tax in order to protect you from any danger and be a citizen in the Islamic country.
3) If you don't want option 1 & 2, then you will be killed.

Perhaps, at one time, with the conquest of land, Islam was forced upon people. But, later, as in Moorish Spain, people could follow their own religions, but paid a tax to the government--to help support the government giving them protection and benefits.
But, at one time, didn't Christianity do likewise? The Crusades killed thousands upon thousands of non-believers-and even many who believed, as they did not stop to ask what a person thought. They didn't give people a chance to convert, as they crossed Europe and the Mid-east to conquer land.
The Inquisition killed and tortured thousands because they would not convert to Christianity.
Are you not looking at only what you want to look at? Christianity has been just as bad. NO. Christianity has been worse.

I believe you are thinking of the terrorists, not Muhammad (spelling?). I am not saying that muslims are terrorists, in fact I will say that the only reason the muslims are supporting the terrorists is the same reason that german christians supported the nazis back in WWII: they were forced to do so or die. The terrorists are forcibly encouraging the conversion to Islam, and since muslims are forced to support them, the muslims are doing the same.

NOT TRUE. There is no compulsion in the religion. I WAS NOT FORCED TO ENTER IT! I became Muslim because it makes sense. It took me 7 years to convert... and I hit myself in the head for not doing it sooner... but Allah always has a plan!
