5. You are so right
Muslims acknowledge that Jews and Christians are people of the Book and deserve respect and freedom of practicing their faith. Like Jews, Muslims don't force conversion-Christians do. I recall the Moorish Empire in Spain-Jews were welcome there. But when the Christians took over in 1492, they had this lovely Inquisition where they forced Jews into churches and gave them a choice-convert or exile.

Some people figure that all faiths are like Christianity and want to force people to convert. Wouldn't it be nice if they found out what other faiths were really about?
