Classic Islam is inherently hostile to the continued existence of any religion except Islam. And 1400 years of Islamic jurisprudence, based on the "unalterable" Koran and Hadith, absolutely and unanimously concur that the choices for non-Muslims must be: conversion, exile, dhimmitude, or death.

Dhimmitude is, essentially, nonstop extortion, a protection racket: pay what is, in effect, an ongoing ransom for the lives of yourself and your family, and they will allow you to survive. The dhimmis are essentially cash-cows for the Islamic regimes under which they live.

OTOH, the dhimmi system did make possible the physical and cultural survival of sizeable Christian populations in majority-Muslim nations for centuries: history notes big, millennia-old Christian communities in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and the formerly Ottoman Balkans. for instance.

That is, until just recently.

By "just recently" I mean, the Christian population of the Middle East in the early 20th century was about 20%. Today it is about 5% and dropping rapidly. The 20th - 21st century wars have been catastrophic for what had for centuries been large, established Christian minorities living in the midst of Muslim nations, such as the Copts, the Chaldeans, the Melkites, the Maronites, the Assyrians, etc.

Many of them, or their 1st-2nd generation descendants, are now struggling to maintain their religious identities as exiles in Germany, Britain and the USA.

Do look at the chart for the Christian population of turkey from about 1300 on.

The non islamic portions of islamic countries are how they ‘earn’ their tax base. And their janissaries.

That the Christian portion of a Sharia enforcing society would eventually approach zero is guaranteed. The only question is ‘how long until’.

And most of that asymptotic approach to zero over the past 100 years has been either slaughter or conversion to Islam.

Most muslims throughout the levant, mahgreb and anatolia have Christian ancestors. Some quite recent in fact.

Which doesn’t mean we need to import even a single muslim. For any reason.

If you feel sorry for their condition, PLEASE, spend YOUR money, buy YOUR airline tickets and risk YOUR life to do so. Bringing them HERE risks EVERYONE’s lives for YOUR feelgood. NO ONE has the right to do so. REGARDLESS of their belief system. You have NO right to risk the safety of my children, grandchildren and so forth to bring in a SINGLE unconverted muslim. No matter how threadbare their clothes or starved they may be. Or even converted ones. The ‘converts’ are the ones who taqiyya themselves into churches in turkey, for example, and then turn murderous on their fellow parishioners.

Evangelize them THERE. ‘Go unto the world...’

The genocide began long before WWI.

It began as soon as Sharia was implemented.
