Of course it is possible. But before returning to Islam I was agnostic and I did my own researches on this religion.. Just for your info when I give an idea, I always look at the internet and only when many sources coincide then I would post it... This is our chance today. All the knowledge of the world can be found on the internet. you cannot cheat anymore by finding just one source and say this is the truth.. For instance just type Islam in spain on google.. all the links I posted are there. And I found none that said that arab raped killed and colinised violently.. So I think that I am objective All the more that I don't post words said by a muslim but usually by a western historian, scientist or politician. This is my way to say. hey look don't say I posted this because I am muslim the guy that wrote it is not even muslim.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/spain/spain2.shtml The traditional story is that in the year 711, an oppressed Christian chief, Julian, went to Musa ibn Nusair, the governor of North Africa, with a plea for help against the tyrannical Visigoth ruler of Spain, Roderick. Musa responded by sending the young general Tariq bin Ziyad with an army of 7000 troops. The name Gibraltar is derived from Jabal At-Tariq which is Arabic for âRock of Tariqâ named after the place where the Muslim army landed. The story of the appeal for help is not universally accepted. There is no doubt that Tariq invaded Spain, but the reason for it may have more to do with the Muslim drive to enlarge their territory. The Muslim army defeated the Visigoth army easily, and Roderick was killed in battle. After the first victory, the Muslims conquered most of Spain and Portugal with little difficulty, and in fact with little opposition. By 720 Spain was largely under Muslim (or Moorish, as it was called) control. Reasons One reason for the rapid Muslim success was the generous surrender terms that they offered the people, which contrasted with the harsh conditions imposed by the previous Visigoth rulers
Yes I know you may be rigth.. But when quoting, I usually try to refer to my own knowledge what I learned at university where my teachers were not always very muslim friendly but revealed facts and also logic.. You see, in the previous link you have something I found on the BBC.. Contrary to babak's historian words, I found this source on a web source that I don't think is muslim oriented it is an honorable british institution and they do not mention raping or violent colonisation.. but when you will speak to mister average man he will say Arabs were savage and they killed and raped. They cannot believe that on the contrary if this religion was and is still very successful it is because it was all the contrary.. French tried to convert many people in algeria yet it is still today a 99% muslim country. Why, because they behaved badly. How will you love the culture and embrace his religion if he treats you as shit???? why THis is according to many demographs, the first religion in the world and the fastest growing in all the continents. By 2030, 30% of human beings will be muslim. We can consider it as a menace and fear it or as a fact and try to understand that religion and why is it so successful..
Is it not a platform in the Islamic "code," if you will, to take over the world, at the very least replacing all other forms of religion with Islam?
I am not trying to do anything. I just don't want let people saying lies and backing with those lies thye idea of another war. I hope you are reasonable enough to understand that
Don't be so defensive. Again: Is it not a platform in the Islamic "code," if you will, to take over the world, at the very least replacing all other forms of religion with Islam?
