Tolerance?

The Roman and Persian Empires self-immolated due to infighting, much as Islam has done. Thankfully, many pre-modern texts written in languages such as Armenian, Aramaic, etc. are being translated and telling a story that has been hidden for centuries of the slaughter and oppression that Islam has wrought upon non-Muslims. I agree with the post which explained the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, which doesn't exist in the moon god religion of Arabia.

What did the Persian and Roman empires do to Islam to be conquered, for according to your assertion, Islam is tolerant and only wars against people who attack it.? If one studies the true history of Islam, one will discover that theft and deceit is the national sport of the Arabs. Thankfully, more people, by necessity, are waking up to these truths.
