Brigadier Ray,
Sir,
The way I read the Sura you provided, I see nothing regarding conversion. It stipulates warring on the enemy until he is subdued and then turning loose the prisoners or ransoming them. My military education has been sadly neglected but methinks this amounts to a sound policy.
Furthermore, it would appear, if my Arabian history is up to snuff, that in the context under which it was written, the status of "unbeliever" was essentially a political disposition for all intents and purposes.
Regards,
William
