I don't pretend to be a biblical scholar, but excerpted passages that I have seen from the Koran did explicitly state that religion should not be compulsory.

Abrogation is a key concept in the Quaran, if a concept spoken of earlier is contadicted by a later one the later one takes precedence. The "peaceful" passages were "revealed" during the early days of Mohammed at Mecca and after he gained strength and conquered during his exile at Medina were superceded by all the "kick ass and take names for Allah" passages...

Jhoffa has been shown the verses from the Koran that support conversion by force and the enmity that Islam has toward Judeo/ Christian religions. He just ignores the proof.

That makes a great deal of sense and it would have been politically expedient.
