Why don't biblical and islamic teachers, and scholars, read their own history and teach why people are religi

Question

Christians teach theirs is a religion of love, and conversions by faith but history says different.
Muslins teach theirs is a religon of love and conversion by faith but history says different.
What are they afraid of?

Answer 1

There is noting wrong with the religion.

It is the followers who fight with each other.
But the history is full of bloody clashes between the people who were neither Christians nor Muslims.
I mean there have many tribal wars which took many lives yet they were not religious people.
Do you believe that the Communist countries never fought a war ?


You seem to believe that Islam was spread by force.....


Soooooooooooo...........here is history........


" It is altogether a misconception that the Arabian progress was due to the 'sword' alone.THE SWORD MAY CHANGE AN ACKNOWLEDGED NATIONAL CREED, BUT IT CAN NOT EFFECT THE CONSCIENCES OF MEN."--[ [The Historic Role of Islam, by M.N.Roy,pg-49,Vora & Co.8 Round Building, Bombay-2]


Islam remained tolerant to other religions......

" He himself [the prophet] gave letters of security and protection to the Jews and Christians in Arabia and never used any violence to them upon the account of religion."--[ An Account of The Rise And Progress of Mahometanism with the life of Mahomet- by HENRY STUBBE, M.A. of Christ Church- Oxford, From a manuscript copied by Charles Hornby of Pipe office in 1705, London,Luzac & Co. 1911, pg- 142-143]


Force can not produce such results..............

" Of all the great religions of the world, Islam embraced- prior to the expansion of christian missionary activity in the 10th century- the widest variety of races. Originally amongst Arabs and other semitic peoples, it spread amongst Iranians, Caucasians, Mediterranean, whites, slaves, Turks and Tatars, Chinese, Indians, Indonesians,Bantus and west African Negroes." --[ Mohammadanism, An Historical Survey, by HAMILTON A.R.GIBB, pg-25 ]


" The phenominal success of Islam was primarily due to its revolutionary significance and its ability to lead the masses out of the hopeless situation created by the decay of antique civilisations not only of Greece and Rome but of Persia and China and of India."--[The Historic Role of Islam, by M.N.Roy,Foreword,Vora & Co.8 Round Building, Bombay-2]


What difference are you talking about ?
History doesnt show that Islam was spread by force.

Logically also, it is not possible to make people love a thing which is forced upon them.

Answer 2

You are delusional, how can you force someone to believe something? Islam spread because when people heard the words of the Qu'ran being recited they submitted to God! Tell me what army marched into Indonesia and forced people to convert?? Indonesia is the most populous Islamic country.

No Compulsion in Religion

God said,

[لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ]

(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever God directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever God blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.''

Answer 3

That should be the way. Maybe this move will happen when conservatives come to power.
It is true though - people complain about the set up of religions and the PC crap, but at the end of the day this is Enlgand - the majority of us are english, they should learn to adjust to our ways, or they can bugger off!
Sorry, but it just had to be said, because no one else will.

Answer 4

Okay, you lead the way and we'll follow...

Answer 5

So, maybe they see what they want to see--and, nothing else.

Then, aren't we all guilty of this?
