Reader comment on item: [The Issue of Compulsion in Religion:] Islam is What Its Followers Make of It

Submitted by vamanan (India), Dec 5, 2007 at 10:30

You have truly brought out the nuances of the no-compulsion clause in Islam.

Many Islam propagandists, after 9/11 they are dime a dozen even in the channels in Tamil Nadu, India, glibly get away by using it as a magic wand. Thanks for showing how specious their argument is.

Actually, I take the meaning of Islam, Submission, to be a pun for force.
