lucas' diatribe

Lucas' enumeration about the so called massacres commited by Muslims in order to attack and maligned Islam as a bad religion is so simplistic and childish. In history, we can see pagan, or buddhist or zorostrian countries mascring other people or tribes. Worst of all, we can see Christian countries massacring a lot of people or tribes during the reign of constantine up to the conquest of the rest of pagan and heritical tribes of europe up to the English, French, and spanish conquist in Asia and America. The pages of the history of Chrisitian conquest is indeed filled with blood. Unlike the case of Islam, no christian country now was being converted into christianity through peaceful means. All of them were done through the point of the sword, masscre and forceful conversion!!!

But in Islam, we can find many muslim countries who embraced Islam freely and through peaceful means!!! All muslim in Russia, China, and southeast Asia had converted through the preaching of Muslim merchants only and never by conquest or swords!!!

And unlike Islam, no any conqueror of christian europe like the huns or vandals had converted to the religion of the people they conquered yet in Islam we have Gengis Khan and his sons converted to the religion of the people they conquered and embraced Islam!!!!

That is how Islam is so a natural and the only true religion that it can be appreciated even by the enemies! Because while christianity is a religion founded by Paul not by Jesus, Islam on the other hand is a religion of Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad!!!
