Muslim world needs conversion, not understanding

[GraceSofia]

The elephant in the room is the state of Israel. While it is true that Christianty and Islam have been set at variance for many centuries, the majority of the Islamic world now hates the west because of the existence of and continued backing of Israel by the U.S. and Britain.

Even if the state of Israel didn’t exist, Muslims would be conducting jihad on non-Muslims. Long before the modern state of Israel came into existence, Muslims were attacking others.

The eruption of the Arabs from the Arab Peninsula in the 630s resulted in the rapid loss of Byzantium’s southern provinces (Syria and Egypt) to the Muslims. Over the next fifty years, under the aggressive Umayyads caliphs, the Muslims would launch repeated raids into still-Byzantine Asia Minor, twice threaten the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, with conquest, and outright conquer the Byzantine Exarchate of Africa…

The Muslims also took to the sea, and from the 650s on, the entire Mediterranean Sea became a battleground, with raids and counter-raids being launched against islands and the coastal settlements. Muslim raids reached a peak in the 9th and early 10th centuries, after their conquest of Crete, Malta and Sicily, with their fleets reaching the coasts of France, Dalmatia and even the suburbs of Constantinople.
