There is this idea that anything good a Muslim does is not credited to Islam but anything bad that someone who happened to be a Muslim by birth, is automatically blamed on Islam. The idea is clear with these people and Islam is the blame. They're saying that Islam is this and that and want to even tell scholars and historians of islamic studies what Islam is supposed to be. Sam Harris and Dawkins have both admitted they have never read the Qur'an and say one doesn't have to do that to figure out what Islam is about. It's no different from that Christian who stood at ground zero saying he learned everything about Islam on 9/11. One can expect that from a narrow minded Christian who never cared for facts but not from someone who claims to be rational. A Christian can't think rational because nothing in in his life makes sense but I would expect better from a Bill Maher or Dawkins.

Then there is always the silly questions they ask wether Islam is peaceful or not. You see Muslims fighting and then ask if the religion is peaceful. Christians been fighting for centuries and this question isn't handed to a pastor to answer because they have already determined among themselves what Islam is and what Christianity is. Even these western atheists feel more comfortable with Christianity the same way a white cop is not afraid of a white man with a gun because it's his people. The atheist may not be a Christian but he's still comfortable with it because it's a western thing and he's still influenced by their prejudices which western Jews also suffer from. One can clearly see the difference between a republican Jew from the US and an Arab Jew from Iraq or Yemen. If all they can provide as their evidence is people in Iraq fighting or Syria, this just shows how much they lacking proof. In 1400 years of history, all Hitchens could do is mention pirates, Iraq etc. If Islam was just straight violent from the start, then a golden age wouldn't be possible. There would not be this devotion to studies and universities and libraries and there would not have been an empire that stretched over three continents with multiple religions and people living together and traveling and doing business.

All this is ignored and we know it's not the case or else this latest character that showed up on here wouldn't have made a fool of himself by pointing out the silly and poor examples he cites? Invasion of north Africa and Spain, are you serious? Weren't there other invasions before and after and by Christians and far more? Fighting the Arabs of Mecca? Weren't they already fighting before Muhammad and weren't they at war with him? There is nothing that Muslims did which wasn't done by someone else before and after. What Muslims did do, however, is relieve the persecution of eastern Christians and Jews. It protected Christians and Jews during crusades and gave each a degree of freedom which was previously unknown and definitely better treatment than what Christianity offered to other Christians and Jews or others. History is clear about this but not everyone reads
