Islam and christianity

islam didnt force zhimmis to convert. christianity did force muslims and jews to convert or to be killed. in spain christianity did invent the word heretic. christianity did burn books with their writers.

im an egyptian and after 1400 years of islam, there are 10 millions christians. tell me how many muslims are in spain or israel ? u r talking like 1.5 billion muslim are your enemies? you hate 1/5 of the world population without a reason. dont judge islam by the deeds of some of our corrupted goverments or some stupid mindless sheikhs. what the criminal bin laden did in 9/11 didnt represent muslims and the us has the right to fight him and to bring him to justice and he did that not because he hates the american way of life but because we have in this region that america is the slave of israel that cant say no (we dont hate jews we are closer to them than christians are).

if we can judge religions on the deeds of some of its beleivers then countries with a christian majority started a war that took millions and millions of lives (WWII) and a country with christian majority not muslim majority did the holocaust europe with its christian majority degraded nations ,occupied them and enslaved people just because they are diffrent in color and the massacres judaism of modern israel did to innocent civilians. so if we can judge religions by the deeds of some of its beleivers these religions suck ,i prefer working toward understanding not hatred , sorry my english is weak (The researchers estimated that an additional 654,965 people have died in Iraq since the invasion above what would have been expected from the pre-war mortality rate).
