Illegally occupied lands, response to Edward

Mr Edward: You , as a muslim, of all the people should not talk of illegal occupation. Israel became an independent country under UN's resolution in 1948. They were attacked immediadately by five neighbouring arab muslim countries and then again in 67 and 73. They were invaded and and what they took is theirs. It was Israel's big mistake returning Sinai.

Muslims attacked and occupied non muslim lands illegally from Spain to India killing pillaging looting and raping the non muslim population.They never returned anything they occupied by force. Yes they were kicked out of Spain and parts Europe and India later. Those were lucky people because the muslim occupiers had not converted them all by their swords in the lure of Jaziya and Kharaj ( the notorious nonmuslim taxes) and were conteneted in keeping them in lowly dhimmi status. All other occupied countries were not so lucky and are still suffering under the yoke of islam.

Why do the muslims have to spread islam here in the poor minorities and ex-cons. Are not there enough muslims in their own countries already suffering from poverty and backwardness.
