Steve2, think that one through! How can you say what you just said and keep a straight face. Do you know the history of Christians from 40 AD to 325 AD when Constantine came to power? That's 300 years.
1. Let's walk through your premise, during the first 300 years how many infidels did the Muslims kill?
2. The first three hundred years, 7,000,000 Christians were killed because they refused worship Rome's Emperor. How many Christians killed Pagans during their birth over 300 years?
Who were the biggest slave traders in the Middle East selling Africans to the Dutch and other Countries? I am all over the place because I can't believe you actually said what you said. The Great Islamic Revisionist are changing what the Crusades are all about, what were those Countries suppose to do, allow Mohammed's legacy free access to the entire World? Sure, the Crusaders on the Christians sides were not obeying Christ, but can you say the same about Suladan's forces? Christians were not obeying Christ during the Crusades while Muslims were obeying Mohammed by slaughtering the Infidels, that's the difference!
Steve, I am so shocked you would say that, unless your sounding like the Islamic guys who came to the University to tell us Christian started the Wars during the Crusades. The Crusades were to stop the expansion (Muslims don't kill, they never would have tried to take over the entire Middle East by the Sword or would they?), the Muslims almost made it to Germany, if they Spanish and French had not kicked their asses back to Arabia, we might be living in Medevil Times.
In India, they have been fighting against Islam for over a thousand years, the Muslims tried to wipe out the Hindus. Not sure how many Indian friends you have that lived in Muslim regions of India and decided the Government was unable to protect them, so they left India and moved to the United States and Canada.
When you walk in to the house of the Ghandi, guess whose words are penned on a little sign? The great Bertrand Russell.
Bertrand Russell: "It is doubtful that the efforts of the Mahatma would have succeeded except that he was appealing to the conscience of a Christianized people". Dr. Zacharias was amused that the home of Gandhi, the pantheist, displayed a banner quoting Russell, the atheist, who said the former's efforts would not have succeeded save for the THEISTS.
Would Gandhi have success if Muslims were controlling India and he tried to use his peaceful method Steve? What does history show about Islam's love of peace? We both know the truth, Gandhi would have been slaughtered by Islamic Leaders laughing at his peaceful actions!
