While almost all religions are guilty of forced conversion, that does not make it correct, nor does it make that type of action a necessity of that particular faith. What people seem to miss about Islam is: One- you are supposed to submit to what you believe God's laws are. Two- Conversion is not compulsory. In the Second Sura, it says that, "...there shall be no compulsion in religion...." . How clear do people need that to be. All Jihads which result in wars which are aggressive are haram or forbidden. Only a war that is defensive in nature, and in that is a last result because all else has failed, is allowable. Of course governments and empires justify their wars. That does not make them in any way a submission the the path of harmony as God has given humanity the facilities to see and understand. Hypocrisy is also mentioned many times in the Quran, as is people twisting religion and uses religious pretense for actions which are not in any way, walking the path of submission to Allah.
