In reply to "The Koran teaches forced converision"

Sir have you read the Koran?

"There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path..." (Qur'an 2:256)

No forcing, period.

If I said the Bible forces that I would be lying even though I can easily say "Christians forced millions to Christianity" but it doesn't mean its a teaching of the Bible.

If forced conversions did happen throughout the Muslim World as some anti-Islamic groups claim, can I ask what army went to Malaysia and what army went to Indonesia (the largest populated Muslim country in the world)?

Peace
