This sura is used by fundamentalist Islamic regimes to justify religious persecution and prohibit any public worship other than Islam.

While the percentage is small, those in Islamic nations are a much larger proportion of the whole.

The boycott had been triggered by a breakup of a mixed marriage where the Protestant wife took her two children to Belfast and would only reunite with her husband if he agreed to bring up the children as Protestants.

In the early stages of Islam, Muhammad had hoped to convert the Jews and others on the Arabian Peninsula. When they refused to be converted, he warred against them usually killing the men, and taking the women and children as slaves.

Adults in Islam must accept Islam in order to convert. Children are regarded as having no such maturity of decision making and therefore opposition to conversion may be ignored and they may be forced.
