    Yes and that was many centuries ago when Christianity was very aggressive, Islam is a young religion and perhaps it is going through the same aggressive period, though one has to note that explicit aggression in this case is put down in writing rather than in interpretations of the Pope or what not.

    I note here that Hindiusm/Buddhism does not appear to be involved in violence on the scale of Christianity or Islam, which is why I mentioned it in the first place - if I were to rank these 3 religions by aggressive and violence I'd get:

    Islam
    Christianity
    Hinduism/Buddhism.

    If China was converted to Islam, do you think they would have been much more aggressive or not? I am pretty sure they would be.

        Err? I am trying to focus on the original topic where as you are trying to take it away - are effectively trying to argue here that my base premise that if Islam was dominant in India at times of Ghandi then they would not choose peaceful solution that in my was influenced by their religion (Hinduism - I accepted correction) was wrong?

        Or maybe you perfectly understand my point of view and just trying on purpose to wind me up and make me waste time? If so it's not very nice of you.

          I'm merely pointing out that you have massive gaps in your knowledge of religion and world history.

            What about us Pagans? Bloody Christians have been massacring us for millenia just as the Romans had done before.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              That bit of history hasn't been indexed by SKA yet.

                Was my assertion incorrect or not?

                It's like objecting to saying that Porsche (as in sports cars) is faster than Lada on the basis of Ferrari being actually faster, it's same tulip ffs and does not change the main arguement.

                  Shias and Shiites are the same, I think you mean Shias and Sunis.

                    You missed and Judaism, although theses days it is not the Jews but political Israel supported by fundamentalist Christians in the US .

                    Christianity and Islam are based on the Jewish Torah. It’s the Torah that told people to stone women for adultery and made up stories that other peoples land is really theirs as a gift of God.
