Oh CarolC the Quran is the most ambiguous Book ever written and what it says depends on how the person reading it wants to interpret it.

Very nice to know that Christians, Jews and Pagans have nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about at all if they convert to Islam, or if they pay their tax to their world wide Islamic Caliphate (Pssst Royston, old son the establishment of that last bit in Italics IS their long term goal).
