You are talking about your peaceful religion and you mentioned Omar Bin elkhatab and how nice he was with Christians, also you used the words conquer when Islam took Jerusalem and used the word invasion when crusaders took it back, you also said that Muslim MEN can marry Christian women and this is proof of how tolerant Islam is.

My friend, please try to read your posts again and see the hypocrisy of Islam. Jerusalem was never to Muslims, Crusaders were defending Jerusalem from the hands of Muslims, Omar Bin elkhatab makes Dhimmis out of Christians and created the humiliating Dhimmi laws that are practiced even today in Saudi Arabia. One of the laws was the humiliating tax called Jizya.

When a Christian woman marries a Muslim man, she is not accepted without converting to Islam. How come your quran didn't also allow Muslim women to marry Christian men? This I believe is the test for your tolerance and peace with other religions.

You also said that we are called the people of the book, but you forgot to mention that we are also called kaffirs, non believers and in some parts of Quran we are called pigs
