Muslim imperialism?

You have not answered any of my questions you just go on and on about Muslim imperialism. THERE IS NO IMPERIALISM IN ISLAM!! Imperialism is anti-Islamic as nationalism is. These ideas were borrowed from the West.

The first Kalifs were not Kings but leaders that were actually elected.

"Dear" must have have been the second word you learned.

You didn't fall through with my Bible challenge. Perhaps I know more about the Bible than you. Here is another for you, Do you remember in the Old Testament when the order was given to kill the Canaanites? What did God instruct the Hebrews? According to the Bible they were to kill EVERY women, man, and child. They were to burn the trees. Sounds barbaric, HUH. Was this not how the Hebrews were established in the land where David WAS a King as his son Solomon. What do you call that, Biblical Imperialism?

When the Muslims took Mecca, how many people were killed? It is the most peaceful takeover in history. He told the Arabs"Go to your homes and you will be safe." Very merciful for a people who used to bury their daughters alive.

This will be my last response to you. I do not converse with ignorant people.
