Reader comment on item: [Fixing] Islam's Image Problem
in response to reader comment: World Domination and Killing People?
Submitted by WALTER (United States), Jan 22, 2007 at 17:17
First, the bible speakes of pride and it"s effect on humanity. if you know anything about the gospels of christianity you would know the answer to your statement disguised as a question!
Secondly, until the rise of islam there were over 100 million christians in the middle east and all the way into china, and none of them were converted by the threat of the sword or the loss of their land or both! Don't misinterpret medieval justice and parallel it to modern times. the separation of church and state did not exist until 1776 when a bunch of christians put it into their country constitution!
If you would like some real answers to the methods of islam ask an Assyrian, or better yet research The Name "Timurlane" a descendant of Gengis Kahn
