A key point to note is that Muslims say they only defend against “insults to islam” — now the Cross IS an insult to Islam; calling Jesus God IS an insult to Islam; not believing in Allah as God IS an insult to Islam.
“Because the prophet — peace and blessings on him — commanded the breaking of it [the cross].”
Can anyone find this command in the Koran? Or is it just another one of the demands of the early Caliph Omar?
