Bribing people to join Islam

[Jimi]

If you are ever exposed to Muslims you will hear them accuse christains of bribing people with food to become christain. When I first heard this I though it was an odd thing to say. I have been on the giving and receiving end of christain food give a ways and I never saw or felt any kind of bribary going on. They never say we will give you food if you join us.

Mohammed did. Time and time again he used war booty to get people to join Islam and to stay Muslim. So we have a case of Muslims "calling the kettle black" so to speak. His followers even got pissed that be was giving too much stolen stuff to one group over another and he came right out and said it was to increase their faith. What does it say about a religion that needs to bribe people to join and to stay in it? Why does Allah need to bribe people to join him?
