in times when there is rampant oppression across the land, it is not usually the poor and small who are innocent who pursue the policy. no it is those in power who do this. all communities are therefore guilty. we have those who are the responsible ones who are marked as beasts in their foreheads. in their foreheads it is written oppressor, unbeliever, murderer etc  these are the ones who bear the mark of the beast in their foreheads. they are kings, presidents, CEOs of corporations religious leaders (such as some of the POPES etc.) generals and other military officers. then there are those who cooperate-collaborate with those in charge. these are they who bear the mark of the beast in their right hands. their hands be swift to shed innocent blood. on them is the mark of CAIN who distinguished himself as the first who committed murder as he killed just not any random person but his own brother! so all religious communities have within them those who stand true for GOD. their behavior is marked with self sacrifice. while the other type is bigoted and commits acts of terrorism. they are therefore marked with a selfish, pompous pride which says me and the things i want over the needs of the lesser well off. ISLAM is no different as it has had oppressive leaders who have been guilty of forcing others to their particular brand of ISLAM which is not the ISLAM taught and followed in its original context which was taught, believed and lived according to by the early MUSLIMS. these MUSLIMS were marked with charity and humility. not so with some however and the foremost example of this tragic scene is the policy of the MOGULS who were kings in INDIA who had the notion to force others into their twisted brand ISLAM. they did this and forgot that the true ISLAM is a thing of the heart. no man can surrender the heart of another to GOD. even by force it will not succeed. as when the same ones are left be. they automatically revert to their old ways of living. the QURAN says in AL-BAQARAH 256---" there is no compulsion in religion because the truth stands out clear from error". the BLESSED PROPHET MAY GOD GIVE HIM PEACE AND BLESSINGS did not ever force others to convert. one shining example is the time when an unbeliever who had participated in a war against the MUSLIM community was about to be killed, converted by testifying that MUHAMMAD was indeed the messenger and APOSTLE of ALLAH and that there is only one GOD worthy to be worshipped (ALLAH). the MUSLIM soldier killed him anyway assuming he had testified only to save his skin. when the RASULLULAH (MUHAMMAD) heard about this he kept repeating over and over again, "did you look into the man's heart?" this was to the point that the soldier was embarrassed by his behavior. now this does not sound as though MUHAMMAD ever forced anybody. forced conversions were later and in the time when the MOGULS ruled INDIA they assumed they were supposed to force all of their subjects to convert. forgetting one important point. no person can be forced to convert. if you do not surrender on your own, GOD aint gonna force you. the point is that SATAN'S argument could stand that GOD creates people and forces them like robots to do his bidding. well if it is not your choice to submit your will to the will of GOD and you made some show that you had while actually you hadn't, this would make you a hypocrite!
