I am sickened by the moral relativists who will stumble into the argument of “yea, but look what we did to the Indians” or “yea, but look what Hitler did to the Jews” blah blah blah.
Islam is a cult of violent fanatics and their enablers and should be extinguished by whatever means.
Would I be some sort of bigot if I claimed Genghis Khan killed less people on his rampage of empire building? It's the truth, and Muslims still control the majority of lands they conquered unlike Genghis Khan.
“Their religion is founded on violence and the subjugation of anyone weaker than they are. This is simple, historical, cold hard math.”
Yours may not have been such at it’s birth, but it spent the better part of a thousand plus years doing just that.
Now you are practicing circular arguments, however to make this point yet again there is no legitimate objective equivalence between Islam and Christianity.
Christians were heavily persecuted but yet the religion spread, not by violence but by testimony. Even when whole nations became Christian it wasn't because Christians were out killing anyone that wasn't Christian. There is no Christian scriptural basis for violence towards other faiths, spreading the word of God by violence, or conquering lands in the name of God. However all of these actions not only are legitimate by the Koran, Muslims are required to do them. There was no concept of Muslim missionaries until modern times. Christian missionaries were the basis of the spread of Christianity.
From the time of Constantine, Christians were not oppressed. they became the oppressors, and remained so for over a thousand years.
