lets just take one example, women.

what an atrocity. hmmm, honor killings in Jordan alone, one per week. For those who do not know what i mean, if a woman in the family disobeys a family and falls in love with someone the family doesnt approve of, she has dishonored her family and can be killed. There are instances where females are raped and due to the shame placed on the family,, the female is killed.

The Quran says, women are worth only one half of a man.

You mentioned,, Islam conquered and brought peace... Mohammad conquered through fear, threats and terror. I think if Jesus and his apostles went on jihads and told the masses convert or die by the sword, I find something else to believe in.
