You did this because I am a Christian? Why? Was it your intention to bait me? To slap me in the face with what I believe?
This statement is ridiculous...
Why would I "slap you in the face" with
our religion?
You make a poor victim...

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob created this universe. He is the God of Judah, Christianity, and Islam.
Yes...
Would you have prefered I be more inclusive?
Quote:
Bible scholars and theologians have crunched the numbers across the entire recorded 5000 year history of Judeo-Christianity, from the beginning to the present and the result is an estimated number of deaths from all causes at 25 million. They took into account the estimated population and technological advancements over the passing centuries. This estimation includes the Crusades and Inquisitions (Roman Catholics).
I specifically requested this information months ago... You claimed not to have it...
Could you post a link to your source?
And could the source please include the methodology it used to arrive at the number?
I don't mean to complain but the source you cited to support your claim of 290 million deaths from Islam gave no mention of the methodology used to arrive at the number and was full of supposition...Not to mention misinformation...
Example: A supposed invasion of China during the Tang Dynasty that there is no record of in China...
Quote:
In the 1400 year history of Islam, the number of people murdered is estimated at 292 million, and the victims included many Muslims. Within a century of the founding of Islam, the entire Jewish and Christian population of North Africa was annihilated.
See... Here is the problem...
You make these claims... But the article you use to support them is supposition and misinformation...
Example:
To this day there are Coptic Christians in Egypt... Think about that... You make the claim that
all Christians in northern Africa were
annihilated... Yet there they are... And have been for centuries....
This is not a fallacy... This is willful ignorance..
Why would you make such a ridiculous statement that can be disproven with a basic understanding of geography, history and religion?
There have been groups throughout history that sought to subvert and destablize nations...
The mistake you make is in attributing/ generalizing these groups to Islam as a whole...
I am not seeking conflict with you... We are brothers... With very similar political and theological leanings...
Can we not find concord?
