Don't think that Islam is a "militant" religion, full of violence and guns and violence. Islam is probably history's most misunderstood religion from the westerners. Who gives you the right (westerners) to jump to false and miscalculated conclusions? Do you even know what you are saying? Great, we were born in war, grown through war, SO WHAT? That is the dark side of Islam, the shadow veiling the peace hidden from westerners over the course of history. By the way, with all the commotions of "Muslims" only "forcing" society to convert, look at the friars and priests from Spain. Forcing Native Americans to convert to Christianity and into Catholics? Very nice sense of showing how Muslims are always the bad guys. Well, what about the Christians? Rape, sexual harassment, murder? Christianity is not an organized religion, I can tell you that. It is unorganized and racists are crawling all over Christianity
