Reply #4: Depends on if you were an infidel or Zimmi

[bigbillhaywood]

Zimmi are "People of the Book"-- Christians and Jews. They don't have to convert to Islam in a Muslim country (though they cannot prostelyze to Muslims), and may worship freely (more or less). Infidels (everyone else) must convert or die according to Mohammed. But there's only one thing you need to know about the Koran, or Bible or Torah, or any holy book-- they're all irrational BS at worst, cultural myths at best.
