Thank you for sharing this video as it supports the point I was trying to make in my post. As the narrator of this video says, what Columbus did was bad and lead to mass murder, he then went on to say that the actions of Cortes and other "Christian" explorers, including the United States, whose intent was to settle new territories and Christianize the populations; were even worse.
This quote near the end of the video sums things up pretty well:
"Was he [Columbus]
a good guy? No. Was he a bad guy? If we look at him through the historical lens, not really, what he was doing wasn't any worse than anyone else. But if we hold him up to modern standards, then yes he was a pretty bad guy."
I hope now you will apply this same method of judgement when you criticize others who lived in the past. We always have to look at what was the norm for the period of time an individual lived in to make a proper assessment of their behavior.
For example, if we look at Muhammad and his actions through a historical lens, while they appear bad by our modern perspective, were normal for the point in history that he lived. In other words, he was no worse than anyone else who was in a position of leadership in his day. So when you said
"Muhammad was a conquering warlord who killed, enslaved and raped girls and women. And also told his followers to do so as well," That's pretty much what everyone was doing back then regardless of what religion they followed or were trying to push on others. Even marrying children as young as 9 years old wasn't unusual and was practiced by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike in Muhammad's day.
The quran, the hadith and the history of Islam.
If this is where your knowledge of Islam comes from, how do you explain the 99.99% of Muslims in the world who don't come to the same conclusions about this religion as you do? Why would so many people today continue converting to a religion that teaches the things you think that it does?
If Islam taught and was anything like what is claimed in those videos you posted, the entire world would be in chaos, Islam would be looked upon the same as Nazism rather than praised by historians and world leaders as one of the world's great religions, few if any people would voluntarily become a Muslim, and it certainly wouldn't be the second largest religion in the world today with close to 2 billion followers.
