Islam has always attacked other faiths. It always begins the attack too. Hindus Jews and Christians were around when Islam was being dreamt up. They were established. Islam just ripped off a bit of Judaism and a bit of Christianity then changed a few key events, said the Jews and Christians had got it wrong all this time and insisted they change their faith to Islam.
They refused and got slaughtered by the 'peaceful' Mohammed and the followers of his 'peaceful' religion
He attacked the local Arab population too and that is how they were converted. By violence. It is a complete distortion of history and the truth to say that HIndus or Christians or Jews have done equally bad things against muslims. It is a lie.
Only Islam insists that non-muslims are unequal under law. Only Islam was spread by violent conquest. The crusades were a response to hundreds, yes hundreds of years of attacks by muslims on Eastern Christans and pilgrims to the holy land. The only reason why Pakistan is muslim now is because of violent incursions into the Indian sub continent by Arab invaders. So, it is the muslims who very often don't know their own history. How they betray their forefathers by cleaving to a religion which was forced on them at the point of a sword or after long sanctions of oppressive taxes levied only upon non-muslims in their own lands.
Islam has extorted and killed its way to the religion it is today. And I at least am not afraid to tell the truth.
