If Islam is all about 'convert or die', then why are there still so many Christian Arabs? These are Coptic Cristians who've been in these countries since before Islam came into being. I would think that if they wanted to kill or convert everyone on the planet, they should have succeeded in their own countries after 1400 years.
Egypt: 10-12 million
Lebanon: 1.5 million
Iraq: 1 million
Syria: 1.2 million
Sudan: 6 million
Saudi Arabia: 1/2 - 1 million Catholics (mostly foreign workers from the Phillipines)
Christians are also in Iran, Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Algeria, and every other Muslim country. Granted, they are being persecuted in most of these countries today, but they've been there alongside Islam for 1400 years. How is that possible if Muslims are commanded by the Qur'an to kill all non-Muslims? What happened to 'spreading Islam by the sword'?
