Jihadi Du Jour

What religion with any sanity would want a convert by force? Would you truly believe that someone who was forced into a religion really would behold that very same religion? I believe not. There is no credibility to such acts of force, but there is a foundation for such practices in Islam. The Muslims Koran allows for such conversions by force - by the sword.

A Gaza Christian woman was forced to become a Muslim then marry a Muslim man that is a professor at the Palestinian International University.

Hamas-aligned officials at Gaza City’s Palestine International University have been accused of forcibly converting one of their female Christian colleagues to Islam.

Sana al-Sayegh, head of the university’s Science and Technology Department, disappeared in late June, reported WorldNetDaily. Days later she contacted her family and indicated that she was being held against her will and would have to marry a Muslim man who was also a professor at the university.

Another week passed and the family received a conversion certificate stating that their daughter was now a Muslim. One of the witnesses who signed the document was the university president, a known Islamist with strong ties to Hamas.

When the family complained to the Hamas authorities, they were promptly visited by a group of heavily-armed militants who insisted Sayegh’s conversion and marriage had been matters of free will.

Sayegh reportedly returned to work last week, but has not contacted her family. Attempts by the family to contact her new husband have gone unanswered.

Gaza is home to a tiny Christian community of only 2,000, among a Muslim majority of more than one million. When Hamas secured outright control of Gaza in June, the group declared that the area’s Christians would have to submit to strict Islamic law.

Religion of peace? Free will? Not on your life my friends.
