[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not anti-Islam.

I just want Muslims to stay in their own countries and not come here. Nothing good comes of it when they do.[/quote]

Silly and misguided.

Most Muslims who live here were born here. So they likely will stay in their country. The US.

Up to a third of the slaves were Muslim. They built this country that you enjoy.[/quote]

Do you have a site for this? I have never read that before. I have heard several hundred but not A third. Where did you read that statistic?[/quote]

It's in multiple places.   Some say 10-15%.  Some say 25-30% of African slaves were Muslim.

While we're on the subject of Islam and slavery, did you know that the Islamic slave trade was extremely brutal and genocidal, and enslaved even more Africans than the transatlantic slave trade? Millions died when they were forced to walk across the Sahara. [b]THAT [/b]was the actual genocide and mass atrocity that occurred during medieval times, not anything the Catholic Church did.

And where does slavery still exist today? Yes, in Muslim countries!

But yaaaay, Islam is all enlightened or something.
