The point is that I haven't given it serious thought yet, considering the fact that I really haven't had any free time to myself since... last night after getting back from vacation. I was merely saying that it's one of the more memorable quotes from the book.

I also should have given some sort of context from the book, because that would have grounded the argument in a little more detail. Since you bring up the point of there being two different worlds--those like the former Afghanistan and modern democracies, this referred to the "liberation" of India by a collective of countries (in the Middle East) called the Islam Alliance from Chinese control of the country. However, after this liberation, the Muslim military refused to leave the country. Also this piece was advertised as propoganda by Virlomi (an Indian) in order to force the Islamic Alliance's hand to show whether they were or were not indeed liberators or conquerors of the country.

So maybe my question is biased to the context, and a new question should be proposed. Is religion instituted by force really a religion at all?
