Completely peacful expansion right? Islam is a religion of peace right? No way they conquered, exploited and genocided like other empires right?
Say, seen any Zoroastrian or Nubians lately?
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
PS: What do you think happened to Zoroastrians and Nubians?
PS2: Genocide is historically not a common affair so I'm not sure what you're talking about here.
PS3: Islam never claims to be "the religion of peace;" this phrase was created by Westerners for a variety of reasons, so like what?
As a westerner, I could buy that this is just a piece of propaganda I've just heard too many times, but it seems like I've heard immigrants from Muslim majority countries say this as well.
Probably a stretch to ask (so no worries if you can't provide) but can you point to any resources agreeing with your claim on this?
Ok apparently I was wrong. The name was adopted by Western politicians in the wake of 9/11, heavily contributing to its present day (completely undeserved IMO) popularity, but apparently before that it originated and continues to be used for Islamic preaching.
