Yet another discussion about islam (sic)

US State Department report praises Jordan and other Islamic nations for progress in religious freedom

That report has to be written by a group of the most stupid people I've ever heard of. I'll give it to them, Jordan has done better than most of the Arab world in the idea of not fighting wars over religion, even though their laws on religion and blasphemy are poor, but Egypt is just not an example of progress on religious freedom at all. The Copts can't build new churches, expand old ones, they can't even suggest being allowed to proselytize or marry muslim women. And to think the Copts have lived in Egypt longer than the muslims, just like most nations in the Middle East. the Jews and Christians lived in the regions for hundreds, if not thousands of years, before the muslims came along and started forcefully converting people in the name of "allah." Not a single piece of territory currently known as "the islamic world" came about because of peaceful conversions. Every single piece of territory was once part of a great islamic empire. Christians lived in India and the Middle East with no such empires, only their own villages to protect themselves. I'm not saying Christians and Jews don't have blood on their hands either or are completely accepting, but the idea that any muslim nation can be complemented on religious freedom is a bunch of bullcrap. Christians were persecuted for hundreds of years without any protection, being put to death countless times, having to hide in catacombs and caverns in order to practice their beliefs. muhammad, death be upon him, was taken in by the Jews on the assumption that he would behave himself. Instead, he turned against the very people that took him in and protected him and put them to the sword, then proceeded to wreak havoc across the Arabian peninsula.

I could easily go on for longer and longer, but I'd rather not because I'd just be repeating my point over and over again.
