To call the pagan Khazars who were converted just the same as the Irish were converted. It is as ridiculous to call them “people of the Holy Land,” as it would be to call the 54 million Chinese Moslems “Arabs.” Mohammed only died in 620 A.D., and since then 54 million Chinese have accepted Islam as their religious belief. Now imagine, in China, 2,000 miles away from Arabia, from Mecca and Mohammed's birthplace. Imagine if the 54 million Chinese decided to call themselves “Arabs.” You would say they were lunatics. Anyone who believes that those 54 million Chinese are Arabs must be crazy. All they did was adopt as a religious faith a belief that had its origin in Mecca, in Arabia. The same as the Irish. When the Irish became Christians, nobody dumped them in the ocean and imported to the Holy Land a new crop of inhabitants.
They hadn't become a different people. They were the same people, but they had accepted Christianity as a religious faith.

The Khazars are the people who became what we call Jews today. There wasn't one of them who had an ancestor who ever put a toe in the Holy Land.

The question begs to be asked: Did those ( unlikely) 54 million chinese have any choice in the matter, or were they told, like people in Africa today, Convert or die!? You do realize, that most of those people don't count as muslims today since 99% of those are DEAD? If we are using those standards, there are tens of billions of converts to christianity from China

WELL YES THEY DIDN'T BECOME DIFFERENT PEOPLE But in a way they did, spiritually I mean. but the islamic thing is kinda true in your opinion but anyone can become a christain. Which doesn't mean you are going to church and being nice. It means you are believing Jesus died for our sins and you have to admit you are a sinner. But by believing Jesus or the trinity is true you will obey the rules and answers to life's questions... aka the bible. Confused?? Then e-mail me.

There is no land that is holy,
but holiness is found in a heart where Christ dwells.
Such a heart has no with to dump on anybody or dump anybody anywhere.
