Quran chapter Bakara(meaning The Cow) Verse 256:

"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."

Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.
( سورة إبراهيم , Ibrahim, Chapter #14, Verse #35
