Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and the Muslims from the 6th century down to our current time have never used the sword or any form of ethnic cleansing as a mean for spreading Islam. Sure history has witnessed wars between Muslims and Christians during the past 14 centuries, however none of them witnessed Muslims forcing Christians to convert to Islam or even to leave the Middle East, and Saladins' Liberation of Jerusalem and the way he treated the Christians after his prevalence is one proof of that. And the recent examples you've mentioned are mostly due to political reasons and purposes.
Islam is a religion of peace and acceptance. And if there is any reason for one to believe otherwise, it is merely due to his complete ignorance of this divine message. |
Yeah they did not force them to change but they persecute them so that they decided to build churches in wedi annoubin away from persecution
Of course up until today Christians were never persecuted by those who call themselves defenders of Islam, that's why there is a church on every corner in Saudi Arabia, and that's why the bible is the most sold book in Riyadh, followed by Ayat Shaytaniyya of Salman Rushdie.
Especially those turks they never did anything wrong to everyone that's why Costantinople's name was never changed right? and what about the Hagia Sophia, does its story ring a bell?
I don't know why you jumped to the defense of Islam, the young Turks were as nationalists as Hitler, they were as muslims as he was Christian, Their hatred stems from racism rather than from Religion, kind of ta3assob ta2ifi, which has nothing to do with religion to start with, they closely resembled the Hariri kind of ta3assob, the type of we are better. I don't know what's the problem with you every time there is a guy whose sect is sunni does something wrong, you jump to the defense of the whole sunnis in the world, you do the same with Hariri, although Hariri is not muslim, he just claims to be.
It is true that Islam as a religion is one of peace, but in real practice we see a lot who preach under it banner and practice more Gore than horror movies. From the who he calls himself khadem el 7aramyan el sharifeyn to those who are happy to cut heads on TV. You don't need to defend them just because they preach they are muslim, you need to stop believing they are real muslims.
If you want to dwell on this open another thread, keep this for the genocide of Armenians by the Turks, and buy the way Saladin was a kurd from Armenia.
