Right now you are infidels
What we are seeing here is a history lesson. The lesson is that this is the way Islam has primarily been spread for 1,400 years. Very few people freely choose to become Muslims. The vast majority of new Muslims always have been created through threats of death.

Islamic State militants have released a video showing hundreds of Iraq's Yazidi sect converting to Islam to avoid execution.
The footage was posted online not long after the group on Tuesday released a video showing one of its black-clad fighters beheading American journalist James Foley.

The instead say they are misunderstood as they sit on a wall in Mount Sinjar, the ancient homeland of the Yazidis.
