I believe no one should force anyone to convert to anything. Similarly I believe in the do not bother me, I do not bother you clause. Specially if the person doing the preaching has almost zero knowledge of their religion... What do you guys think?

I will thank them for caring enough to talk to me about what they feel is so important. Then, if I have the time, I will listen, and might even ask some questions. Then I will ask them if I could share with them what I believe. If not, I'll say something to the effect of "God bless you, if you ever feel you would kike to know what I believe, get in touvh with me".
Of course, if I don't have the time, after thanking them I'll just tell them. If they are courteous about it, I will suggest an appointment.

My favorite is to argue with them -- as a bit of a religious nut, I have enough knowledge to argue with people from a bunch of different perspectives. So I think, "OK, Jehovah's Witnesses, I'll be a Hindu" and I demolish their claims from that perspective. It's good fun. I think of it as fundy-baiting.
OTOH, if you want to be friends with this person, cook for them. There's no better way to religious pluralism than through an ethnic feast. Or smoke them out and play Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for them.

That is a funny question when it comes from a Muslim....
You can always say that you feel your religion is just right for you, and you would not consider converting.

you should say; Thank you for your concern, I am happy with my belief system, have a nice day.
There is no way to force someone to change their beliefs. Thats why its called belief. Most people that want to spread the word of their religion is doing it with a kind heart. We all just have to remember to be respectful, and love one another.

Salam sister,
I think you are correct in every sense.
God gave everyone a free will, and they are able to decide what to do with their lives themselves. Everyone is accountable only for their own actions. People should not interfere with anyone elses life.

I personally do not know any one who could force me to convert. You cannot make someone do anything that is against their will. It is called free will!

Usually, I say something along the lines of, "You can tell me of your religion and your beliefs; come unto my lair, and I will SHOW you the spiritual realm." They usually walk away from me very quickly after that.
