According to Islamic law, Muslim man can marry a Christian woman without her having to convert to Islam, but her conversion is still desired, as it reinforces the growth of the Islamic community at the expense of the non-Muslim community, which is a core Islamic imperative (cf. Qur’an 8:39).
“Pressured Conversions Bring Shame and Stigma to Christian Families,” International Christian Concern, August 28, 2023:
08/28/2023 Egypt (International Christian Concern) – As a religious minority in Egypt, Christians face various pressures to convert to Islam. Women, and particularly Christian widows, face uniquely harsh pressures, as ICC documented earlier this month. When even one family member decides to convert to Islam from Christianity, that decision brings a communal shame to the whole Christian family with a strong stigma attached to that family, even in their own Christian community, family, and church.
Egyptian Christians face daily challenges in their communities from the pressures of the majority society around them….

One way muslim dawa folk like to trick infidel women is to suggest they try on that hijab claiming other religions[hindus,sikhs,christians} do that but the hijab is NOT actually for modesty.
It is for the classification of women{‘it will be known…Tafsir Ibn Kathir 33:-59}}
“It will be known if they {wear the hijab} that they are free and that they are not servants or whores
muslim women don’t necessarily know that.Most likely they would not accept it or see it that way.
But what happens if say, an Iranian women does not wear the Chador.
And look at all the lovely colored fashionable hijabs today..won’t you try them on?

Just like in Pakistan & Bangladesh. I just wish they can make it to Israel & then to Cyprus

Who would willingly give up his or her Christian faith of love and forgiveness with an assured salvation earned by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and replace it with an association with a cult of unforgiveness, violence and self righteousness in front of a god Allah who has created you with 100% predestination and 0 free will, and who os completely unreliable as Allah is the best of deceivers?
Logically sin has no meaning in such a system as you were destined by Allah to sin. The only sin you can commit in such a system of logical madness is to prevent others from committing those sins which Allah himself has ordained! That means that the only sinners are the patrols of moral police which prevent the sins willed by Allah himself!
For the women who are destined to hell because of their alleged stupidity and the fact that Allah created them in a manner that makes them bleed every month during their fertile years, their best bet is to become sex slaves to please Muslim men in their very carnal paradise. Even there they have to compete not only with each other for the man’s attention, but with little boys who don’t bleed!
In paradise Muslim men can enjoy everything which used to be mortal sins in the earthly life.
The Muslim paradise appears from a Christian perspective to be pretty close to our definition of hell!
Mr Pope, are you really comfortable with that?

Regarding those Dawa folk i saw something funny on a booth;i like wrong spellings in fact.
“FREE QUR’AN TRANSALTION IN YOUR PREFFERED LANGAUGE”
transaltion?is that some process like where allah has Mary in the Trinity?
“muhammed ,Jesus and Moses 3 prophets 1 message”
Of course in islam Moses and Jesus are muslims.Jesus and Moses are in the Bible.Mo is not though muslims say he is:he can’t be anyway as he is NOT from the Children of Israel{Jewish}
And one message?the koran’s teachings VIOLATE the Laws of Moses.
The koran defeats the purpose of the Torah ..that muhammed confirms{koran 3:3} and says he gave to Moses{koran 2:87}…oh that must be islamic moses,not Jewish Moses then.
Transaltion:islamic hermeneutics

mozlums practicing “harassment” of infidel women.
mozlums practicing “harassment” of Christian women.
Pressure to give in, to give up their faith in order not to be pressured to conform to satan’s way, with promises of “freedom.” Fake promises, lies upon lies.
It is written about Jesus in the 4th chapter of Matthew, that satan the devil harassed Jesus and pressured Him to “convert” from the True Faith to that of worship of satan.
satan tried to get Jesus to turn stones into bread; tried to get Jesus to jump off of the mountain…and Jesus said No.
”Bow down and do an act of worship to me.” satan said, and then he would give Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world.”
Jesus refused. The result was that Jesus kept His faith, His integrity, His perfection and satan intensified his efforts to cause Jesus to die.
The Christians in egypt are being pressured in like manner to cause them to abandon their faith, by the humans who have chosen satan as their god and father and are doing his desires…and when the Christians refuse, the pressure is increased.
James Lincoln says
Excellent analogy, somehistory.
somehistory says
Thank you very much, James.
John Smith says
True Somehistory, satan did try to get Jesus to convert from the true faith to the worship of satan, but it was never going to happen. However satan had no problem getting muhammad on board,
Off subject here. Today Tucker Carlson interviewed Viktor Orban about the war with Russia. it’s well worth watching if you get the chance.
somehistory says
You are so right, John. Jesus would prove steadfast, no matter what. It had been said by His Father that His Son would be faithful to the death; and that was proven True.
I’ll see if I can find the interview and let you know. Thanks for the reference.
somehistory says
I found the interview, John. Very interesting. Thank you.
And his comment near the end, about it’s “communist”…is so very correct.
FYI says
muslim dawa folk are now offering free koran in different languages via their TRANSALTION process.
They think this will promote islam but you see..
The Scientific errors will also be promoted.They didn’t see that i guess.
Fun Questions to ask the dawa folk
1]Is the koran perfectly preserved[NO}
2}Are there errors in the koran{Scientific,historical Theological;see koran 5 v 116}{YES}
3]is allah omniscient{NO see koran 5 v116}allah who knoweth all things knoweth not Christian Theology
impossible questions for dawa folk to answer
1}Why is allah’s enemy a mysterious man called the called the King of Kings[Sahih Muslim vol hadith #5611}say could that be JESUS?
2}The Golden Rule,the 2 chief commandments,the Exodus 20 Laws:how did allah MISS all that if he claims he gave the Scripture to moses{koran 2:87}Explain.
3}Non-muslims are ‘ the WORST of created beings’Do you agree YES/NO and tell us why.We are happy to wait for your response on islamic supremacism
4]Why should women have to wear the hijab when in the same koran allah shows he is ignorant of Biology[and Astronomy.}knowing LESS than women do today
FYI says
Italian Atheist and astronomer reading koran in Italian
Scientific Miracles:what nonsense is this?That’s not where the light comes from a star.It is stellar nucleosynthess and WHEN was the moon split in 2?
Polish catholic Theologian reading koran in polish:
What is this ?MARY in the Trinity?How is that possible.Well thank goodness they translated the koran into Polish as i did not know that.
Spanish muslima reading koran for first time in spanish:
Why should i wear the hijab when allah knows less biology than i do?Adios hijab!
Portuguese man thinking of converting while reading koran in portuguese
Wait,Pope Francis said we worship the same God.Nonsense.I must go back to my church
German ex-muslm reading German koran
Ya i was right.Why would anyone want to be in such a cult.Stay away from islam.
They were right those people about The Way Of The Murtad
When you read the koran in any language:DON’T TRUST THE SCIENCE
tim gallagher says
The usual evil bullshit that has been the way things have always been done in any country where Muslims have grabbed power. What annoys me is the way that, in our western countries, we treat Muslims pleasantly but, in any Muslim-dominated country, the Muslim scum treat all non-Muslims appallingly. Of course,it would be better if no Muslims were ever allowed to pollute any western country to begin with since the obvious goal of Muslims is to impose barbaric islam on all of us. From what i see in western countries, we seem to be able to get along quite peacefully with Buddhists, Hindus, etc, but there is always endless trouble with these intolerant Muslims. I hope the Christians in Egypt can get the hell out of that Muslim craphole of a country and escape to a more pleasant, civilised Christian country.
Gurek says
Sadly, no muslim country is kafir-friendly and all of them are kafirophobic.

I spent some time in Egypt, while active duty Navy, awaiting C-130 / SH-60 transportation to the Persian Gulf. I was housed in a decent resort in Hurghada, a short walk to the Red Sea. I would swim there every morning.
It was in the mid-1990s, and – at the time – it seemed that most of the Egyptian muslims that I had interfaced with were not particularly “devout”. At least in Hurghada, most women did not wear the hijab, etc., and alcohol flowed freely.
Seems like things have changed…
