Is there really "no compulsion in religion" in Islam? Muslims like to use the Quran 2:256 to justify the fact by quoting it as "Let there be no compulsion in religion".
But the full verse and the next verse is as follows,
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever)."
Does the "no compulsion in religion" means what it means? If we reject islam we are "the evil ones"? and "will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein"?

ProudMuslima, So you are agreeing with me? That there is actually no complusion of religion, just that if you don't choose islam, you burn in hell. Its like an arm robber telling the hostages that they are free to leave, just that he will put a bullet in their head if they leave.

Some Christians quote selectively - and out of context - from the Bible when they want to support a point. It should be no surprise that individuals from other religions might do the same.

your logic is twisted
1- you did not supply a reference to where you are getting your translation from which is very important to judge it's accuracy. you can for example quote the prophet of doom about Quran or Yusuf Ali they are not equal are they?
2- Even in your translation, there is nothing that says that if you reject Islam you will go to hell fire, it is saying if you reject GOD you will go to hell fire
3- As for the analogy to the robber although it is funny it does not apply, simply because the threat of the rubber is IMMENINT while the threat in the Quran is left for THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.
I hope this simplifies it
God bless

If only the Arabic is valid, then you fairly are committing sin by potential of discussing your faith in any language different than Arabic. individually, I do settle for this form of declare that it could only be understood in Arabic. If that have been real, verbal substitute between Arabs and everyone else could be impossible except all discussions have been in Arabic. it is obviously purely a crimson herring devised to divert grievance.
