Do you think the Middle East became Muslim all of a sudden by cutting off heads?

[MerakSahibi]

The Islamic armies built an empire stretching from Andalusia to Khorasan in a short period. The administration was Muslim, but what about the people? According to Western historians, jizya and kharaj taxes were collected from the non-Muslim subjects. These taxes were lighter than those under the rule of their co-religionist Roman Empire. On the other hand, jizya was not collected from those who converted to Islam. Although economic conditions made Islam attractive, Muslims consisted only of the army and the ruling elite in the first century. In the following centuries, even though the Islamic world declined politically and militarily and ended its conquests, commercial and cultural development continued. Four centuries later, by the time of the Crusades, Muslims had only reached half of the population.

So, what was the event that struck a blow to the Christian population? The Crusades. Although successes were achieved in the first crusade, the subsequent crusades dealt a blow to minor states like the Principality of Antioch and the Kingdom of Jerusalem, weakening them through plundering. SPolitical tension between religions forced many Christians to convert to Islam. The Christian ratio had dwindled to around 15–20% by the time of the Ottoman conquest, but it remained stable under Ottoman rule. The Ottomans truly brought prosperity to non-Muslims as well. The dramatic blow to Middle Eastern Christians was dealt by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Napoleon's era of nationalism arose, and minorities were generally adversely affected by this situation.

This is almost like grave robbing mummies and measuring their dicks to decide whose ideology we should copy and embody in hopes of growing same sized dicks.

It's bomb terror when you do it. Democratic welfare when we do it. ㅤ

That's the concern here in ahmericuh... by numbers, if they take over, it will really change.

don't know, but their belief is to subjugate everyone else one way or the other. they did kill off a bunch of armians, and that's a nice way of saying it. raped and murdered is another.

Anyone whom likes the muslimes ruling systems should go to Afghanistan for vacation.

When did they kill the Armenians? Why didn't they commit the genocide at the very beginning? Why would they destroy a population of artisans—Armenians are famous for jewelry making—why didn't they confiscate their gold? Because Sharia (Islamic law) does not allow it.

The Armenian massacre was carried out on the grounds that they sought support from the West during a period when the Ottomans weakened and nationalism flared up.

Furthermore, the state you call Afghanistan was established with the aim of creating a buffer zone between the Russians and the British. From that day to this, it has experienced wars and coups, and has remained uneducated.

The US is Christian, and Guatemala is Christian too

They invaded a weakened Roman and Persian empire and used the wealth, civilisation and infrastructure in place to build on, maintain and further their empire.

Every mosque is built in the style of the eastern Roman empire from the dome to the minaret.

Thats why the muslim world went into decline in the middle ages as the ran out of greeks, jews, latins etc to advance their empire.

[Snakeyes7]

Nope, they manipulated their way into power just as they did to Europe and what they are doing to the US right now.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Nice propaganda.

I totally forgot the Battle of Tours never took place. 🤷‍♂️ My Bad.

I don't know. Do you think the crusaders converted everybody to Christianity by torturing people?
