how come followers of Islam don't send folks around to my door flogging first century goat herder stuff?

Question

I mean how come? Or Jewish folks also? (not that it would change this agnostic) Just wondering, what if i lived in a big city, would that make a difference?

Answer 1

The different Abrahamic faiths have different recruitment styles.

For Judaism, the primary recruiting vehicle is rich Jewish men convert dumb blonde gentiles after marriage. Of course, this is a slow process.

For Scientologists, they lure young men into huge corporate facilities with powerpoint presentations and multimedia shows.

For Islam, they fill up a neighborhood and invite their non-muslim neighbors to community meetings where the women smile shyly from under their white scarves.

So you see, this leaves only the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons to knock on your door with religious tracts and inane comments.

Answer 2

In the seventh century A.D., the prophet Muhammad (SAW) was sent to the people of Arabia. Within a decade of his death
the Muslims had conquered all of the Arabian peninsula. Within a century, Islam had spread from Al-Andalus in Spain to the borders of China. Islam unified science, theology, and philosophy. Muslims were commanded to study, seek knowledge, and learn and benefit from others' experiences by Allah (SWT) in the holy Quran and by the prophet Muhammad (SAW) in the Sunnah. It was this that inspired the Muslims to great heights in sciences, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, philosophy, art and architecture.

Muslim scholars began obtaining Greek treatises and started
their study and translation into Arabic a few centuries after
the Hijrah (622 A.D.) They critically analyzed, collated , corrected and supplemented substantially the Greek science and philosophy.

After this period began what is known as the Golden Age
of Islam, which lasted for over two centuries. It is here we find
many of the great scientists of Islam who literally left behind
hundreds and thousands of books on the various branches of science.
