[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been approached plenty of times by christians telling me to let jesus save me.  I can't remember one time a muslim approached me and told me I should convert...[b]not once[/b].  I guess that explains who is spreading that hateful crap about going to hell if you dont convert[/quote]

YET.
[b]
It's clear around the world that once Islam becomes a certain large percentile of the population, the rate of conversion or 'disappearance' of other faiths goes sky high.

It's not like that here in the U.S. which is one of the reasons the vast majority of Muslims here are peaceful.  Something goes awfully wrong though when the numbers get high, I'm not sure why that is.  The larger the numbers, the greater the power of the radicals.[/b]

That said, I have had 2 Muslims talk to me about Islam, give me a Koran and a book that explains it for lay people and tell me they are praying for me to find their correct path.  I am close friends with someone they are also friends with so I do think they felt comfortable with me enough to say that though.

That plus, I'm not of an Abrahamic faith so even jizya wouldn't save me from slaughter in their eyes.

We can discuss conspiracy theories all day, but its not productive and theres no proof on either side so what is the point. It sounds like you're assuming that it has something to do with violence? But really there's not much to support that theory. It can also be said that crusaders spread christianity early on by slaughtering the people that were not feeling up to converting. There are radicals in every religion, christianity as well. I don't know how this thread went from &quot;historical artifact discovered&quot;--&gt; &quot;trying to convert non muslims is the DMV area&quot;--&gt; &quot;global conspiracy theories&quot;....somebody please let this thread die, my brain hurts.[/quote]
