Then you will force me to accept that Muhammad is his messenger. Thereafter you will force me to accept Kaaba as the center of worship (5 times a day). Next you will ask me to forget my heritage and culture, forcing me to accept a foreign culture in the name of 'we follow the messenger'. Next you will try to control my total life by laying rules like 'Photography is prohibited in Islam', 'Music is sin in Islam' and like that. Next you will prohibit my inquisitiveness by prohibiting me from studying other cultural and religious material.
So the question is that if someone wants to accept Allah, why YOU force him / her to accept all this appendage also ?

OK HERE IT IS. IT IS YOUR CHOICE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO WORSHIP ALLAH, THE CHRISTIAN GOD, OR ISHTAR IT REALLY IS ALL UP TO YOU. HOW YOU WORSHIP YOUR CHOSEN DEITY IS ALSO UP TO YOU. IF YOU LISTEN TO ALL OF THE FUNDAMENTALISTS OF ANY RELIGION THEN YOU LET THEM MAKE THE CHOICE. YOU LET THEM TAKE THE CHOICE OF HOW YOU WANT TO WORSHIP AWAY FROM YOU. IT TAKES A VERY STRONG PERSON TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN AND SAY, I DON'T THINK THAT'S WRIGHT. HOPE YOU ARE THAT STRONG. THEY TRY AND FORCE YOU INTO THEIR WAY OF BELIEVING BECAUSE IF THEY CAN MAKE YOU LIKE THEM THEN THEY'VE ONE.

Free will is a beautiful thing. No one can force you to take any steps toward believing any thing you don't want to. Each step you mentioned can be either taken or ignored. That is entirely up to you. Believe in Allah/God the way you feel best for you. No one can tell you what or how to believe. Unless you let them.

Bro,
Islam exists in anywhere, in most countries with no force neither war at all. Islam come from ancient trading benefit. For example, Islam exists in China since 650 - 1980 CE. As many people may know that Islam, Jews and Christian are brothers.
They came from Arab and Abraham is the Father of those religion. Buddha, Hindu and other religion even Atheism are OK, no problem. We're all brothers and sisters and Islam respects other religions with no force.
Islam people have no right at all to change your belief and faith. Here i attach the quran in english for the prove of what i said that Islam respects other religions.
Islam respects the diversity:
[49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.
Quoted from Quran:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers.
[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship.
[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship.
[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship.
[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship.
[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion."
--------------
ps :)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[110:1] When triumph comes from GOD, and victory.
[110:2] You will see the people embracing GOD's religion in throngs.
[110:3] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer.
Success for all of us !

No body can force anybody into doing anything.
Those who accept Allah as the only true God and act according to His words, do it, and should do it, on thier own will.
If you choose not to, then don't do it. It's your will - free will.
I don't see what is the problem here.

Allah is a false god and Muhammad a false prophet. Have you read the Holy Bible written by the prophets of God and inspired by God whose Son is Jesus Christ?
