:what:Do you know why non-Muslims are small minorities in the Middle East? It's because Muslims have been violently purging them since Muhammad said "Go." Be ignorant of Islamic history, brehs.


I blame the jihadis who believe God orders them to do these things. You blame the victims.

Muslims haven't been violently purging them though.
You look at Iraq, they had one of the longest christian communities in the world that was in place until the US supported radicals took over after the US backed removal of Sadaam.
You look at Syria, another long held christian community integrated into society, after the US backed attempted coup of Assad, used backed radicals ran them out of the nation.
Copt christians in Egypt existed for centuries safe, until muslim brotherhood backed extremists took root in Egypt getting public support by being against US backed military dictators who have been in control of Egypt since the 60s.
Its the same story all over, you have had traditional long lasting non muslim communities that only recently have been driven out the region thanks to radicals backed by the US.

You can blame the jihadis all you want, you aren't looking at the true cause, and thats why your method of fear mongering and religoius bigotism will never actually solve the problem.

If islam hadn't existed in this world for longer than 30 years you might have a point, but we have hundreds of years of its existance and none of this behavior.
Seems you don't want to look at that though, blame those people , whoever they are, ignore the puppet master pulling the strings.
You ever wonder or notice that where ever the US goes in the region ISIS and Al Queada sprout up?

Islam has been aggressively and violently expansionist since it's founding. The tactics changed, but they've always been trying to destroy non Muslims.

Go read some history on Islam's expansions. Especially into North Africa and attempts into Eastern Europe. It's war after war. Heck, they invaded and conquered most of Spain at one point. :dead:

Conquering the Middle East and Africa:

Early Muslim conquests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Attempts to conquer Europe:

Battle of Tours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle of Lepanto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle of Toulouse (721) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle of Vienna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fall of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read up.

Islamist always aggressive, is that why Salaadin had christians wanting to joing his caliphate to get away from the idiots in Constantinople? Thats why Muslims typically have always allowed jews and christians ability to live in their nations (fellow people of the book)

Now its funny you want to talk about history, lets get into the history of Chrstianity. Tell me what those christians did to the native americans in north america? Tell me what those christians did to the natives in South America. Tell me what those christians did to bhuddist and muslims in India. tell me what those christians did to africans in Nigeria, Congo, and etc.

I'm sure you definitely don't want to get into this game because Christians have been far more war mongering, far more expansionist, far more deadlier to this day.

You have to make a distinction between the various forms of islam..The islam of the Persians /lebanese/turks/Ahmadiyyas is more tolerant than that of the Arabs especially the wahabbis..when the Ottoman empire had a firm grip on the region minorities were relatively safe..(except maybe gays)
Thats why syria Iran and Egypt had thriving non muslim communities but saudi arabia and the gulf dont.

Unfortunately the Gulf arab side is winning so egypt /iraq/libya for example have become less tolerant today

The one waging the war is the West, these radical islamists are bringing the war out of their home and to the home of the instigators.
Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh. Are these the homes of the instigators? Because these places keep getting attacked by people in the name of Islam.

Stop blaming the victims. Stop saying "It's horrible, but..."

Should the region return to Ottoman imperialism?

Nope. How about giving the region a chance at self determination?

A real regional Battle Royale where Vince doesn't press his thumbs on the scale and the refs don't act like they are looking the other way out of convenience.

The wahabbism of the saudis, that they've exported, is a relatively new movement though, and not one traditionally practiced in Islam in the region though, atleast through my studies.

Nigeria issue with islam is firmly politically from what I've read.
India and Pakistan is also political and what caused the split and creation of Pakistan in the first place.
Yemen is wahabbist Saudi armed by US invading a nation that is now Shiite controlled. IE a civil war with a regional state intruding.
Bangladesh also more political than religions.

What you have thrown out is akin to me saying christianity is evil because the IRA bombings.

You know I'm specifically talking about the attacks in Paris and now Nice France, the 9/11 bombing in the US, Ft. Hood shooting, and etc.

You need to learn that you have to look at the political mechanizations behind movements than just looking at who did them and saying, those muslims.

Religion is a type of politics. This isn't news to me.

christianity
Christianity started with a guy sacrificing himself. Islam started with a guy building an army and killing anybody that opposed his rise to power.
