[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5841680, member: 24302"] The difference between Christian countries and Muslim countries is this: the Christian colonizers did not impose Christianity on the lands conquered with the exception of the Spanish. The missionaries/priests preached Christianity and people chose to accept or reject it. The Muslims when conquering a land gave three choices: accept and convert, keep your religion but in all things you must be subservient and pay tribute to your conquerors, or die. For example when the Muslims conquered the Balkan Peninsula they wouldn't allow the building of a Christian cathedral that was larger, more grand than the local mosque. Christians were forced to build their churches below ground level with only a portion above ground. Another example. India was conquered by the British Empire. But only a small portion of the population is Christian. Most are either Hindu or Muslim. The British didn't force Christianity on the population. Again, you'd know this if you would crack a few books. Well documented history out there that doesn't have the Chris Hedges spin on it. [/QUOTE]
