I don't even consider these countries "Islamic" if they force people to convert. That's just extremist scum abusing the Islamic name. In fact, the Quran states that it's forbidden to force people into your religion:  (No compulsion in religion) (Al-Baqarah 2:256)

This is a pretty good article (assuming you read the whole thing from beginning to end)

edit: forgot the link! whoops! http://www.meforum.org/1754/peace-or-jihad-abrogation-in-islam

That all being said, I read some interesting article on abrogation (written by a born-muslim: http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/Farooq_Ibrahim/abrogation.htm ) that actually talked about rules (and abrogation of rules) regarding the penalty for adultry/fornication but it wasn't clear what the final ruling is...either way I think the penalty of death didn't fit the crime.

Abrogation is not part of the Qur'an. That is newer extreamist tools used to push their view of what they want Islam to be.
