What you describe is forbidden in Islam. Force (even jihad) is NEVER allowed to be used to establish Islam as the only religion.
It is ONLY allowed to establish FREEDOM of religion, and the CHOICE for people to choose their own religion.
In a Muslim country, other religions are supposed to be protected. In fact, some very beautiful churches were built under the reign of the Muslims. How could this be if Islam destroyed other religions? Clearly you’re speaking nonsense.
Jihad is a doctrine in Islam whose definition depends on which Muslims you are asking.
Jihad means a spiritual battle. To more moderate Muslims, it denotes the spiritual INTERNAL battle that Muslims engage in, to purify their own souls.
To fundamentalist Muslims, it is taken literally, to mean a holy war waged against non-Muslims.
In Muslim nations, non-Muslims have often had to pay the jizya, or poll tax, to help support mosques. The Quran mentions this (if you need sura verses, just ask.)
OVERALL, speaking as a religious Jew, and taking into consideration the entire history of Islam and Christianity as they both relate to my people, I’d still rather live under Islam than Christianity.
For one, Jews in Spain were treated far better by the Muslim rulers than by the later Catholic ones. Plus, the Muslim and Jewish understanding of pure monotheism is much clearer between our faiths than it is between our faith and Christianity.
Someone will say, “But Muslims hate and kill Jews!” No, what the (fundamentalist) Muslims hate is not Jews but zionists. The two are not always the same. I am a religious Jew but I am not a zionist, in fact I am anti-zionist for JEWISH theological reasons…(traditional Judaism teaches that the Jewish STATE cannot be properly restored until the Messiah comes.)
