The same could be said of Britain, as much as you would like to discredit it.

Except for the four centuries it was a Roman province. That's not discrediting Britain (although I believe we had been talking about England), it's stating the truth.

I suspect it was the command from the "prophet" to specifically not mess with the Christians of Ethiopia had something more to do with it.

Are you saying that Muslims aren't sworn a blood-oath to behead every Christian they see?

They are, BTW, having their own problems with the resurgence of Jihad.

How can they, if Muhammad forbade Muslims from "mess[ing] with the Christians of Ethiopia"? Clearly any so-called Muslims vexing Ethiopian Christians are heretics.

Ethiopia spent centuries as a province of Egypt. Your point? Oh, yes. You have none beyond "West = bad".

"Are you saying that Muslims aren't sworn a blood-oath to behead every Christian they see?"

Sura 9 is clear, but Christian Ethiopians were the only ones called out by name.

"How can they, if Muhammad forbade Muslims from "mess[ing] with the Christians of Ethiopia"? Clearly any so-called Muslims vexing Ethiopian Christians are heretics."

Or they're just following the final commands in Sura 9.
