Pakistan: Conversions Through Intimidation Show Face of Islam

Do you want to know how the Religion of Peace expanded? Well, there is the kidnapping of non-Muslim women and forcing them to "marry" Muslim men, and then there is this: Where Christianity faces a fight to survive

A recent convert from Christianity to Islam, Bashir Masi knew nothing of his new faith.

He could not describe a single tenet of Islam, nor remember the Qalma, the Muslim declaration of faith, nor name his own children, who have adopted Muslim names.

He, his wife Amna and their six children, converted to Islam 15 days ago. "We are happy now we are Muslim," said Mr Masi, 45. "It is a great religion."

The Masis's conversion is typical of the vulnerability of Christians in Pakistan, many of whom live under the threat of persecution, death and who have suffered waves of violence directed against them and their churches.[...]

If Muslims ever become strong enough to be dominant in our countries, this will be our fate.
