Really? So Muslims have always, everywhere, all the time, only use violence to defend themselves? Never once, ever, attacked anyone? You have to admit, looking at the hundreds of major Christian religious sites that are now Muslim ones, and the handful of Muslim ones that are not Christian ones, the Muslims have been awfully successful for peaceful people who never pick up a sword except in self-defence?

the moslim conquered large area's in europe in a short period the people became Muslim not by force of the sword but by the appeal of the new religion.

Can we agree that the appeal, and hence the converts, would not have been there if not for the fact that the Muslims conquered those parts of Europe?

i wonder if you can say the same about the Crusaders that killed millions of muslims and jews, or the russia's that killed thousands of mulims while the world watched and still turned a blind eye to it.

Crusader did not kill millions of Muslims or Jews.
