The link will take you to a web page which contains an excerpt from a book by a Christian who has studied the true meaning behind the religion of Islam.
Freedom of thought, religion and speech are possible only where there is a respect for the human being based on the belief that we are made in the image of God. That concept involves the idea of man's free will and that love is true when chosen, not when imposed by force or manipulation. Not Islam's concept. Here is a quote from the article: "The word Islam means 'submission'; the word Muslim means 'one who submits to Allah.' The Quran says you cannot be a true Muslim unless you submit."
This is not the submission out of love and free will. It is a submission taken to the point of extreme: if not by will, then by force; we know what is best for you. More quotes from the article:
There are many verses in the Quran that speak of love, peace and forgiveness, but those verses are cancelled out by the latter verses. 'Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.' SURAH 9:5
'Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them….' SURAH 4:89
More details in the article as linked above.
