It does seem many people are afraid of us and see us in very unflattering terms. But very few have ever had face-to-face contact with a Muslim and base their opinions on the media.
Does Islam pose any threat to other religions?
The answer is yes. Not a physical threat, but a very real threat in terms of gaining converts from other religions. I believe this is the motivation for much of the hatred against us. People do accept Islam, when they learn what it really is. Other religions see us as "stealing" or "misleading" their faithful members. We do not spread Islam by force or bribery. Each Muslim tries to lead by example. We try to live a pious life and be receptive to any questions. We do not desire to force our religious views upon those who do not want to know them.

Firstly why converts are punished by death in Muslim countries?
Thirdly what is about Al-Taqiyya, it seems somebody here is telling fairy tales.

Fourthly why do you believe that we absolutely need your Islam?

Islam is a religion.
Right now it is a very violent religion.
Every time a terror attack occurs that is carried out by muslims, or a non muslim is killed in the name of Islam. A church and the Christians who go there harassed or killed. A synagogue attacked or an attack thwarted that was in the planning by muslims. It is seen as violent.
When Muslims fly planes into buildings, blow up embassies, and kill innocent civilians that is violence.
When Muslims try to call terrorists just freedom fighters that is seen as violence by others.
When muslims kill folks just because of cartoons that is violence. When people are killed because a quran is burned that is violence.
Everyday Christians and Jews are insulted by others but we don't go on killing sprees.
Bibles have been burned and I have seen cartoons depicting Jesus but Christians don't go on killing sprees.
I think that Muslims need to take a look at just why many see Islam as violent and taking a look at the many ugly posts here from muslims may be a start.
They are not, that is the maximum punishment permitted and only if the apostasy includes treason against the Nation during time of war. There have been no executions LEGALLY for apostasy since the Battle of Badr, nearly 1400 years ago. Yes it does happen and the ruthless rulers do claim it to be in accordance with Shariah. but it is not.

[SIZE=3]Surah 2:256 “Let there be no compulsion in Religion.” This would be a rational position if practiced as a standard, however Muslims disallow the Bible (as well as other books of religion) in their countries and do not give people a choice. They do not want to engage in dialogue or allow freedom of choice when they are in control. To present the Bibles Gospel is tantamount to aggression, so one is labeled an infidel, and the use of force can be used to restrain him. The rest of this verse says “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.” This verse seems to imply that those who embrace Islam willingly are accepted.[/SIZE]
There are Christians living in every Islamic Nation I have been in, and they all have bible. that Includes Saudi and Iran. Back in the 1960s I was a Christian Missionary and never had any trouble bringing bibles in any Islamic Nation. Even held a large revival in Morocco. Seems like the writer on that website is shii and using a touch of Al Taqyyya.

I answered about "al taqiyya" in a post above. the only reason I think you need Islam is because it is the only path to heaven. You will not see heaven if you do not submit to God(swt). but the choice is yours. You are the only person responsible for your future. I am not going to put a chain on you and try to drag you to heaven. If you refuse to go, I'm not going to loose any sleep over your choice.
