Islam is the religion of peace? You must be kidding

Mariam; Why did the arabs invade Egypt? And why do you like so much Arabian imperialism? You are Egyptian and you are not an Arab. And you know what? More likely than not your ancestors were Copts that were brutalized by the Arabs and muslims and islam and were treated and still are treated in their own homeland as second class citizens. Your ancestors coverted to the religion of the Arabs and why is that? Could it be to avoid paying this nasty mafia tax called al-jizya or to avoid being treated as ahl al-dhimma in their own homeland?

As for the Qur'an I can read it in Arabic and I think it is a confused and confusing book. It is violent and it is poor literature.

As for the 9/11 atrocity it is not unlike what happened to your own people the Copts during the uprising of 735CE against islam and the arabs.

So much for the religion of peace.
