Islam says An anon editor has been working on this article and making generally good edits won t you take a username anon But he she added one thing I excised ruthlessly a note that Islam says forced conversion is not allowable One given that there are so many sects theologians preachers opinions etc one can t say Islam says as if Islam were a monolithic organization We should be specific Question to self have I trangressed this rule probably Also in the very early history of Islam the pagan Arabian tribes were converted by force so far as I know There is a line to that effect in the article so it s self contradictory to later say that this is not allowed Now this could be open to argument anyone want to say that the Ridda Wars weren t about forcing errant tribes back into the Islamic fold
