why do people care so much that others believe the same as themselves?

With Muslims, it is just an excuse to raid, kill and enslave.

Age old barbaric traditions which where only stopped by the rise of Christendom and Western Civilization.

Christians, at least, do not place slavery, murder, and rape as being condoned by God, as does Islam.

Ask the current Biden regime.

The larger question is where are the Jesuits when you need them?

An inspiring story. Not so many years ago, too.

Tribalism.

With God, tribalism is a good thing. As a creation, we were meant to be tribal but harmonious.

Without God, our tendency to be tribal is unrestrained and we want to eliminate differences.

Most religions don’t. There was a period when Christians mistakenly thought that it was okay to force non-Christians to convert, but Islam has always taught that it was permissible to force conversion at the point of a sword.

[TexasFreeper2009]

because ... sadly .. it works.

Think of all the formerly Christian nations that are now nearly totally Islamic or all the American Indians who were forcibly converted to Christianity who are even today 100’s of years later some of the most devout believers.

There was never a time in history when Christians thought that was ok. You’re confusing Christians and catholics. They are not interchangeable terms. Nobody has killed more Christians than the Catholic church. Rome also started Islam and it got away on them. History is a hell of a thing.

So, you think Europe should have surrendered to the Ottomans?

[nickcarraway]

In fairness, a lot of that was done by civil authorities.

Islam is a war plan

Islam and those who follow it are the enemy. Just because some do not actively participate directly in jihad, does not mean they do not mind it when other muslims do.

“where he was slowly flayed alive”

I saw a video a few years ago of someone being flayed alive by a Mexican drug gang, you know, the same kind of “refugees” Biden wants flooding the country.

If they ever showed that video even once on prime time national TV, people would be demanding 50 foot high walls at the border with 3 mile wide moats filled with alligators, sharks and mines with the Army, Marines, National guard ready to blow away anything that moved.. This country has NO idea the kind of sick bastards that are down there, the absolute vicious animals they are and what an open border invites.

I also saw a video a few months ago of them burning off a guys face with a blow torch, I mean burning it off right to the skull, the eyes, the lips, everything burned off to make him looks like the “Red Skull” superhero in the comic books. Apparently their rival gang was called the “Red Skulls” so they burned this guys face off and he remained conscious the entire time screaming his brains out until he was literally a red skull.

If you do not own a gun, do yourself a favor and get one and get trained. Do it NOW because if these domestic enemies currently occupying our government manage to fix the midterms, your life will be worth BLAAH.

I’m reminded of Churchill’s statement: “First Germany, then Japan.”

For us, it’s: “First Davos, then Jeddah.” In recent years, Islam has been shoved to the back burner.

Catholics are Christians by anybody's definition except anti-Catholics.

Nobody has killed more Christians than the Catholic church.

By "Christians" you mean Protestants and various heretical sects that some uneducated anti-Catholic Protestants ignorantly believe were Christians. Even properly defined, that is not supported by the facts. The Communists killed far more Christians in the last century than anyone else in history.

Rome also started Islam and it got away on them.

History is a hell of a thing.

It is, especially if one mistakes ignorant anti-Catholic polemic myths for history.
