Islam has NEVER been a religion of peace.
Study even a little bit of history and you will find it has been a religion of conquest and slavery from the very beginning.
From 622 A.D. when Mohammed set out from Mecca to 732 A.D. they had taken all of the middle east and north Africa and Spain and were only stopped from taking Europe by Charles Martel at Tours France.
Repeatedly over the next centuries they tried again and again to conquer Europe and wipe out Christianity, getting as far as the gates of Vienna in 1683.
America’s first foreign war was against muslim pirates of the Barbary states who were taking American ships and enslaving the sailors and holding them for ransom.
President Jefferson sent the Marines to the shores of Tripoli to teach them a lesson.
Someone on FR recently wrote about, or posted a link to something, about the differences between dispensations from Mecca v. Medina. I can’t find that now, but I’d like to see it again.
