Then please explain why when a non Muslim marries a Muslim he/she must adopt a Muslim name and convert to Islam? And why is it off springs of Muslim parents are not allowed to believe in any religion of their own choice? Can the children be a Buddhist or Christian and not be ostracized by their family?
U should know that Muslims adhere to the laws of the God Almighty aka ALLAH swt. For a family to live in harmony, its best to share the same belief, eat together and be blessed by the Almighty. If anyone not prepared to go thru the basic like prayers, the dos and the donts (Halal), then its best they dont get themselves converted to Islam. It will only create diversion, chaos and disharmony. As for children being ostracized by their family, I can understand the feelings of the individual parent. If tat happens to my children (God forbid), I would not ostracise them. They are still my children. In fact, I do know of a relative, children married to non-Muslim. But their parent did not drive them out of their home, although their lives in topsy turvy. They still try to "rehab" them. :( So what if your children convert to Islam? How do u feel?
If a Church pastor preaches in Bahasa as in Indonesian churches then the Christian God is also referred to as Allah.

In the Indonesian Bible in the first verse of Genesis you will find God named as Allah. The Arabic Christians called their God Allah 500 years before Muhammed exists.
They why is it ur Sunday Sermon, ur pastor did not mention the name Allah to his congregations?
Do u know in certain part of Indonesia they even share cemetries, Xtian and Muslims graves, together.
Do u know that some Muslim Indonesians marry Non-Muslims and yet they stay "happily" together?
Please note I am not for or against any religion. I respect all religions and believe in the personal choice of one's religion. But since you have posed some question I am only trying to make some clarification.
Who posed such questions in the 1st place? U. Not Muslims. This thread is all about ur God "Jesus". Not Allah. U comparing Islam to ur Xtianity. Giving a good impression of ur religion. Of course, ur religion easy to subscribe to. Everything "halal". But that does not mean We Muslims must follow ur "scripture" ya.
