It sounds like you're one of the people the British government is targeting. Here's what you say:

These voices told him that his religion was a continuation of Judaism and Christianity and that those who followed these outdated religions should be converted or killed.

Yet here's a verse from the Koran that states God's view of Christains and Jews. It's verse 62 of the second chapter:

Surely, those who believe, and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabians, whoever have faith with true hearts in Allah and in the Last-day and do good deeds, their reward is with their Lord, and there shall he no fear for them nor any grief.

The verse is pretty straight forward, but I'll sum up what it says. If you believe in God and try to do good deeds, you'll go to Heaven. It's pretty simple. The verse is from Surat Al-Baqara (one of the best chapters of the Koran) which outlines many concepts in Islam. http://www.ahadees.com/english-surah-2.html

On a side note, I find it interesting that he community on Slashdot regard intelligence and knowledge in high regard, but ancient books with ancient knowledge are dismissed as some sort of fantasy. These books are the record of our ancestors. They passed down knowledge to us so that we as their children could improve ourselves. They learned these lessons through trial and error, yet we still make the same errors today because we don't read our own history.
