That Mohammed&#8217;s life exemplified the repression and murder of non-believers, that Islam utterly rejects any separation of Mosque and State. That what is meant by &#8220;Peace&#8221; in Islam is not liberty, but submission to coercive Islamic rule.<\/p>\n<p>During this interview I refer to a website &#8211; Islam-Online.NET &#8211; recommended by the supposedly &#8220;moderate&#8221; <a title=\"Does the moderate (?)

In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (or his representative) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An interesting issue that comes up during this interview is the significance of the Iranian President&#8217;s <a title=\"Is this Iran's Declaration of War against the United States of America?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.president.ir\/eng\/ahmadinejad\/cronicnews\/1385\/02\/19\/index-e.htm#b3\" target=\"_blank\">letter to President George W Bush<\/a> in which he invites the US President to convert to Islam.
