I like how even though I've blocked this hopeless proselytizer of Islam, I can tell exactly the tired arguments he is posting thanks to the good replies of the OP and Al Masihi.
Some people
really want Islamic violence to be non-sectarian, political, etc. -- anything so long as it does not indict Islam for said violence, even when the Islamic corpus (Qur'an, Sahih hadith collection, the Sira of Muhammad, etc.) itself does that by being filled with explicit calls to violence and humiliation against those who do not follow Islam or otherwise conflict with its prophet and what he supposedly brought down from God.
This is in the religion itself. Heck, this
is the religion itself, if we are going to separate the people from their faith, which I guess in this context is fair, albeit weird, if only to emphasize that the point is not to say that
every Muslim more
most Muslims do or believe these things, only that Islam teaches them; doesn't the Qur'an say, in 2:216, that "fighting is prescribed for you, though you dislike it"? So even the Qur'an recognizes that fighting in Allah's cause against non-Muslims -- in that case, the pagans -- is necessary, regardless of who really wants to or what they really think about it.
You can tout your credentials all you want (no matter what 'side' of this issue you are on), but what you cannot do is change the Qur'an to say something it does not say. And if we go by what the immediate successors of Muhammad did, they apparently took this command to fight to spread their religion very, very seriously, and very literally. Do any of us know better than them what the Qur'an and Islam are supposed to be about? I wouldn't think so. We in traditional Christianity rely on the fathers and other early witnesses of the Christian religion and Church to know what was taught and what was not in our religion, and those who discard them in favor of something else because they like it better are generally not taken seriously, when they make unverifiable claims based on their idea of how they would like the faith and the Church to be, against the evidence that It itself left us.
Now why we would have any different standard for Islam than we do for our own religion? Islam is a false religion, so of course its teaching are going to be false (with some truth sprinkled in, as the best heresies have), but at this level the point shouldn't be "look how bad XYZ is" (because of course the Muslims and the Islamic sycophants are going to answer with various nonsense claims, e.g.,
what about when the Bible says also XYZ? What about Paul, who corrupted Christianity? What about the prophecy of X Bible passage, even though the Bible is otherwise corrupted?; etc), but rather look at what XYZ is, and look at the implementation of it in history when Islam came to the places it now rules.
I honestly couldn't give half a fig about anyone's credentials on any side. I have learned about the Arabization and Islamification of Coptic culture from the Coptic people themselves, which all came about through forced conversion -- if not religiously, in all cases of the people, then certainly of the society itself. By violence.
By force. The Muslims who know this, particularly the Egyptians,
are not shy about it. So who is going to tell me or any of my Egyptian (or Sudanese, or Libyan, or Iraqi, etc.) that their histories are anything other than what they are? Sources like the
History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, began by HG Bishop Severus Al Ashmunein (Severus Ibn Al Muqaffa') in the 10th century, were recording events contemporaneously with their occurrence.
If you refuse to believe in what
actually happened in favor of defending Islam, the religion of Satan which has cursed the earth by the devil's servant Muhammad for 1400 years now, then what can anyone do for you? Go away with your certifications and degrees. That stuff is impressive to the world, but if you apply them to something that is
intrinsically evil, such as the defense of a religion that denies the incarnation of the Word of God as the Only-Begotten Son of the Father, our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, then they are worthless and deserve to be burnt, as the writings of heretics before Muhammad were.
