Regarding Mr. Alladin's previous comments:

I am a Turk and being raised in a muslim majority country, but luckily a secular one, unlike the lands governed by shariah, I know what Islam is all about.

If Islam was so peaceful as you claim, what right did the Arabic muslim armies have in invading Syria, Anatolia, Egypt, Persia, Spain, France, ? Did any of the rulers of these lands oppress the Arabic muslims in any way?

Simple question.

Regards.
