I said it before but I must say it again. I don't think there is anything that some Christians haven't done or tried to defeat enemies and to "unite". I can't help but to write about this because our nationalists and many Christians always falsely accuse Muslims of forcefully converting people and that they were barbaric. I am not going to write about all the events in Christian history but about an event that took place in Ireland a little over a century and half ago. There was an era which is known as the "potato famine" and in this time the Irish Catholics were so starving and ill that they had become desperate for even a bowl of soup. The Protestant Englishmen had no problem giving the starving people a bowl of soup but first had renounce Catholicism or else die. Many did so because they were desperate and weak of course. Those that did so became known as "soupies" and they are still called that to this day. This event was not 2,000 years ago but not too long ago at all, but we are supposed remember a Muslim from over a 1,000 years ago who was not "very kind".

History makes it clear which religion had to be forced on people and what methods these people had to use in order to "grow". Yet these same people make ignorant claims about Islam and Muslims while they can even be refuted with the works of Christian missionaries and historians who testified, but that is too embarrassing for some people to admit so there will always be those who already know the "truth" and they are not going to drop their slanders and prejudices. Today in the age of cameras and technologies, eye witnesses and reporting, we see people still embracing Islam and there is no force or pressure and, in fact, it is a very bad time to become Muslim now with all the negativity, pressure, discrimination, bigotry and "terrorism" but people are still not being stopped from wanting to become Muslim. I wonder why Muslims didn't use force or adopt the tactics of the Christians when there were no cameras and had all the power to do so. It's also strange that Christianity had a 600 year head start yet in barely 14 centuries Islam has caught up with it and we are supposed to accept the reasons given by the "experts" on FOX news who end up contradicting themselves during a 5 minute interview.
