Would all Islamasists tell us what became of the infidels in Babylon&Persepolis at their captivity 640-41?

Question

Sourosh does what is typical for a follower of Islam, he asks carefully why I want to know the answer to my question. He immediately suspects challenge. His response will be only based on secondary considerations so that he may be sure HIS LIES are all in a row. There is no form of absolute truth among Muslims. Excepting their belief that the rest of the world needs to SUBMIT OR DIE!

^5 to you again Theo. I do not ask, nor do I comment on the comparative worth of religions here for a spiritual ideal. I live next door to Muslim families, I grew up with Muslim families, I fought a war with Muslim men at my back. The problem boils down to this: Muslims seem to either believe that they shouldn't make statements against other Muslims out of fear, or the teachings of their Imams, or they haven't realized that the seperation of the State and Religion are worthy beliefs. Or they are just plain nuts in love with blood lust.

Salahs #'s are out of whak...All indicators are that 10% of the worlds Muslim population are at LEAST in tacit support of radical Islam. 1,000,000,000 at 10% = 10,000,000 people worldwide who support radical Islam...I don't know but I've been told that Ten Million People ain't got no soul...I shouldn't worry?

Answer 1

Hi, S.G.-

A couple things--1.5 billion x 10% = 150 million active supporters of evil. The latest polls in Muslim countries show that over 50% of Muslims worldwide are sympathetic to terrorist tactics to bring down Israel and the U.S.

THAT is really a large power base, and the real root of the problem with terrorism today.

Include the state-supported doctrine of Takkiya (Islamic
doctrine of legitimate lying and deception of others to
advance the cause of Muslims and Islam), and we have a real nasty can of worms.

You've evidently cought some of these 'contributors' in their lies--now you have a name for it. Keep up the good work.

Answer 2

How many times are you going to ask this?

This is ancient history and in no way judges the actions of today's Muslims.

You seem like an intelligent person so here's some mathematics for you:

There are about 1,500,000,000 Muslims world-wide. Now lets assume that there are 750,000 "Islamic" terrorists.

750,000/1,500,000,000 = .0005 or 0.05%

This means that less than .1% of the entire population of the world's Muslims are terrorists and that 99.95% of the followers of Islam are not . How are you going to judge 1,499,250,000 people on the actions of less than .1% of the entire group?

As-Salaamu Alaykum - Peace be upon you

Answer 3

I don't have near the detail that most of you do, but to me the bottom line is this: It was Muslims trying to spread Islam by the sword that caused the Crusades.

If you have to use the sword to spread your faith, then your faith is not worth accepting.

As a Christian I try to reason with people and hope that the Holy Spirit chooses to witness to them.

Is it acceptable to classify the .05 percent as Islamic Jihadists?

Answer 4

The Battle of Heliopolis, or "Ayn Shams," was a decisive battle between Arab Muslim armies and Byzantine forces for the control of Egypt.
The battle took place in mid-July 640, near the ancient city of Heliopolis, with Arab forces numbering 15,000 under the command of Amr ibn al-A'as, and the Byzantine forces numbering over 20,000 under Theodore, commander of all Byzantine forces in Egypt.

With the Byzantine army approaching, Amr split his army into three sections, with one detachment under the command of a lieutenant, Kharija, heading east to near-by hills, and another detachment to the south. Once the Byzantine forces made contact with Amr's forces and attacked them, the detachment of Kharija fell on the Byzantine rear, causing turmoil among the Byzantine ranks. As Theodore's troops attempted to flee south-ward, they were attacked by the third detachment, causing a final break-down and defeat of the forces.

Though Theodore would manage to escape with some survivors, most of southern and central Egypt fell to Amr's forces.

The next year and a half were spent on more maneuvers, skirmishes, and sieges before the formal surrender of the capital, Alexandria, took place on Nov. 4, 641.
