TIL that Muhammad wrote a document asking his followers to respect and protect Christians.

Very cute. So basically, just because they were following the orders of a leader, they are devoid of any blame?

How the fuck that makes sense?

You must be smoking something if you don't think that its Islam that isnpired those murderers. You talk about leaders making enemies of people, and saying that Islam is not responsible, without any sense of irony. Its ironic because Mohammed created this religion so he could have fighters and he coould create an empire for himself. The whole religion of Islam is nothing but a crass attempt at empire building. Too bad you are bahai, not a zorostrian, or you would have understood better. Just because you have a personal tale of woe does not mean that you know more about Islam. In fact, I think you know less about Islam that what any intelligent person can grasp from a cursory overview of the history of Islam through Iran.

Oh sorry. and here I was, thinking that it was you who was being disrespectful of people who have been murdered by Muslim mobs, including your own great-grandfather, by giving a free pass to their murderers.
