For Lana: and the Muslim crusades and Jihad = Crusades!

But my dear Lana you also seem to forget that the Arabs invaded, destroyed and looted much of the Middle East starting in the 630's CE as they were trying to spread the word of their Allah. Seems like the Jihad/crusades to me.

The Christian crusades were conducted despite of the teachings of Christianity.

The Muslim crusades/jihad? It was conducted based on tahreed (in Arabic the word means: instigation!) by your Allah who wanted to see his followers killing the polythiests (Q9:5) and fighting ahl al-kitab or the people of the book for no reason at all(Q9:29) in-order spread Islam. But this is indeed strange as if your Allah was really omnipotent he would have changed the minds and the hearts of the rest of mankind without all this mess and war and all of us would have converted to Islam. But it seems that in this case your Allah was not omnipotent and if this is the case he is no God.

But wait: your Allah and his rasul aka Abul Qasim aka Muhammad claimed the loot (ghanima) collected from those poor dhimmis that are the victims of Islamic jihad/crusades for himself (Q8:1).

So my dear lana would you happen to have Allah's e-mail address so we can send him his share of the loot in future jihad/crusades?

The chances are Islam brutalized your ancestors. Shame.
