I know this to be true but I just wanted to see what you would say. I mean I always here about how they say Christians are the haters when the koran teaches that you will go to heaven if you kill your self for allah.

More specifically, the Koran teaches that they are to offer those who oppose them three choices: 1) Conversion to Islam, 2) Submission to Islamic rule and 3) Destruction. The submission choice includes paying special taxes and accepting various regulations. Those who live as non-Muslims in a Islamic society may not, for example, evangelize, build new churches or repair existing ones and a host of other rules that don't apply to Muslims. At some points, the three choices were only offered to those who also believed in the one God, ie Christians and Jews who are referred to in the Koran as "People of the Book." Polytheists who believed in multiple gods, like the Hindus and the original pagans of Arabia, were not always offered the second choice.

I'm not sure how they reconcile these choices with the Koranic injunction that there be no compulsion in religion.
