^^^^^^^^And let me add, Rod... notice I never speak to Tech or any Muslim the way I do to you... I don't want to be a "fitnah" (trial) for the Muslims, but your always the one attacks me first, calling me out by name, and claiming that I misrepresent Islam. So I have to set the record straight. Anyone who wants to find out the validity of Rod's statements, you don't have to take it from me, all they have to do is go to the Qu'ran and the history of all the Prophets, and Muhammad and his companions, and find out the truth for yourself.
...Muslim's are aloud to defend themselves..
If Islam was spread by the sword then how come the largest Muslim country is Indonesia, and no battle was ever fought there? If Islam was spread by the sword then how come the largest Muslim country in Africa is Nigeria, a place where no major battle was ever fought by Muslims? Or all of black Africa, where Muslim's didn't fight a major battle?If Islam was spread by the sword then how did Muslim's rule India for 800 years and still leave behind a majority of Hindu's?The truth is that Islam was mainly spread through trade. Trader's from different parts of the world would meet at trading ports in the city, and follow the Islamic economic system of law, because it was the most known and practical system of trade. Mosque's were biult at key trading ports, Islamic scholars would visit the major cities, some traders would stay and live and mix with the indigenous people, and eventually the region would become Muslim.I will be honest with you though. Muslim's are aloud to defend themselves if they feel they are being oppressed. The Qu'ran gives man the right to self-defense. The Qu'ran says if you are oppressed then do to them what they did to you, or you can forgive them, and forgiveness is best for you if you but knew. So the option is there.
If you're enjoying yourself living how you're living, more power to you... It's all good though, do what you gotta do...PeACe

Also Nigeria is not all Muslim they have a sizable Christian minority there and all of Black Africa is not Muslim you are just delusional. The reason Islam didn't take hold in India is the same reason Christianity didn't take hold when the various European nations ruled the Middle East and North Africa. Its because they already had an organized set of beliefs in place so it was extremely hard to convert them. Don't quote Koran nonsense to me because it doesn't mean $hit to me.

So you're actually just rebellious or else a neophile?
