It was either convert, pay tax or die!
Muslims destroyed the Hindu Temples, raped the women. Sure they were terrified and converted to save their life. No, it does not make you a true Muslim.

Yes, a religion can be imposed on you by fear or death. I have a good friend who is a Hindu and she totally hates Muslims for what they have done to her people. Many people from many faiths have converted or used it as a cover so they would not be killed for their real faith. It's ashamed that this happens but you can find this all through history. For many years people in countries who do not believe in Jesus have worshiped him in secret because of fear they would be killed and still people worship Jesus in private for fear of being killed by the ruling Muslim majority.

Not if you don't want to be, just be careful, I feel sorry for all those who this is being forced upon.

If the people are good a faking belief to stay alive. prisoners of war spout all kinds of propaganda, because they are afraid of torture.

Even thou Islam ruled over many countries for centuries, but the multitude of non Muslims bear witness that Islam never forced anyone to be a Muslim.
Today all over the world there are thousands of revert to Islam, Who you think is forcing them into it, THEIR INTELLIGENCE.
