Oh really? That statement just flies in the face of history. It is not worth the time to respond to. Tell that to all widows made by Muslim warriors invading India and Spain and even France. Muslims under Abd ar-Rahman crushed Duke Eudo in battle, sacked the city of Bordeaux and burned the cathedral at Poitiers.Originally Posted by a true arab
While the Islamic conquest of the Pasisir was relatively peaceful, military campaigns had to be launched against the agrarian kingdoms. In the beginning of the sixteenth century, Majapahit, the last remaining one, was defeated by the sultanates of Demak and Surabaya. Islam could then spread inland, where it has since remained deeply implanted, especially in the Sunda region.Originally Posted by a true arab
The archipelago was not invaded by outsiders and forcibly converted. Yet states that had converted to Islam often waged war against those that adhered to the older, Hindu-Buddhist traditions.
This does not alter the fact that Arab armies still invaded Spain in 711.Originally Posted by a true arab
As Prince of Persia has stated Muslims may not have killed all Christians and Jews when they conquered knew territory but they did treat those who survived in a terrible manner. The thing is that in much of Islam things have not changed.
Christian churches are still being attacked and the people murdered in the Islamic world today.
