Christianity has already passed through that "convert or die" stage.
I don't consider that I have a good sample if I base my opinions about Islam only on Muslims I have met and have had an opportunity to discuss theology with. They are all professionals (psychiatrists) who have emigrated to America, and became citizens, one of whom said he took a trip back home to Pakistan and never felt so scared in his entire life. Even the ones who attend services at their local mosque have a lassez-faire approach to religion.
I read the Koran.
