What do you believe should be done about the non-muslims who don't believe the Qu'ran and don't like Mohammed (I mean the ones in your society)?

For muslims who say no one is forced to accept Islam, historically non muslims had to pay taxes in Islamic societies where muslims did not. Is that not economic force?

To flameslivewire: Historically, non muslims were the only ones taxed in the muslim societies. That's a form of force.

Look at the first answer: Notice the part that says in their book(Christians and Jews)What about everyone else?
They don't force anyone in their society into it because they already killed them for it.

I'm not a Muslim. I don't think anything should be done. Everyone has the right to believe or not believe what they want. I guess you could tell people about Islam and then let the make decision for them self if they are want to become a Muslim or not, but you should never force anyone. Just show kindness to everyone what ever they're belief or disbelief.

I am a Indian Muslim living in the UAE. And we have plenty of Non-Muslims here living, working peacefully.

The Non-Muslims have been an integral part of the Muslim society since the times of the Prophet. The Jews and also the idol worshippers were with him in Madinah. There was NO discrimination against them.

Even during the Caliphate of Ali, the Chief Judge (Qadhi) once ruled against the ruling Caliph (Ali) himself and gave his judgement in favour of the Jew for lack of evidence.

After the trial, the Jew admitted that it was his mistake and acknoledged the fair trial of Islamic Law that even the RULER could be brought to Justice!

So i fail to understand why does the media spread such lies about Islam???

The ONLY places, where the Non-muslims are NOT allowed are Makkah and Madinah. These are the places that are sacred and require just ONE SIMPLE VISA to get inside.

The VISA for the entrance is just to proclaim from your heart:

"There is ONLY ONE GOD (ALLAH) and Muhammed is HIS last and Final Messenger "

The Quran says that we are to respect all people of the book. (Christians and Jews) so in my society (the United States) I would do just that.

Angelz sorry but you are wrong the question was about the Quran not my personal feelings. I answered based upon what Quran teaches.

Personally I have no problem with what others believe. My Mother is a Christian my Dad is an Atheist. I have friends that are Muslim, Christian, Catholic, and Wiccian. I love and respect them all.

No Compulsion in Religion

God said,

[لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ]

(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever God directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever God blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.''

I am an American Muslim, but this goes anywhere in the Islamic world too. Why do you think there are still so many Christians in Egypt, Lebanon etc..

Absolutely nothing at all. They have the their first amendment rights that protect them and we have our first amendment rights that protect us. This is a free society where everyone has the right to believe or disbelieve in anything they choose.

The same goes in Islam. When it comes to those who don't believe in God and the message of the prophets, the Qur'an says:

"O disbelievers!
I do not serve that which you serve,
Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:
Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:
You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion." (Quran 109:1-6)

In other words, the Qur'an gives people freedom of religion as well.

EDIT: Ivri_, you obviously have never read the Qur'an, instead you probably found that misinterpreted, taken out of context verse from an anti-Islamic propaganda website. You're doing a good job though, just follow the herd, you'll always be accepted there.

The Quran answers that question: Death for apostasy.

Sura 4:89: "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

Sura 2:191. "And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith."

There is no compulsion in religion as taught by Quran. Living peacefully and respectfully of other beliefs is the way we should all live by.
