Re: Is Islamism a bankrupt ideology?
^^ the point was to exist as one big muslim nation or to believe in one God and do good in the world?
you are saying that it was absolutely necessary for the muslims to expand their empire from spain to india to africa and had they not done so they themselves would have been wiped off?
again...this justifies every other religion's/country's actions too.
however, keeping in sync with the topic, the whole issue of killing apostates is what i meant by saying that islam is spread by the sword.....if your religion is so true, why is there so much insecurity that u need to kill those that turn away from it.
again as explained by yourself, an apostate is only to be killed if he/she means some harm in some way to islam....but since this was not what the topic originally suggested, it did seem like islam pretty much needs to be spread by a sword.....
