The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. -- Will Durant

Quote:

The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter. The Bahmani sultans (1347-1480) in central India made it a rule to kill 100,000 captives in a single day, and many more on other occasions. The conquest of the Vijayanagar empire in 1564 left the capital plus large areas of Karnataka depopulated. And so on.

As a contribution to research on the quantity of the Islamic crimes against humanity, we may mention that the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate)..

Over Over 110 Million Blacks were killed by Islam.

Quote:

a minumum of 28 Million African were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. Since, at least, 80 percent of those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave market, it is believed that the death toll from 1400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been as high as 112 Millions. When added to the number of those sold in the slave markets, the total number of African victims of the trans-Saharan and East African slave trade could be significantly higher than 140 Million people. -- John Allembillah Azumah, author of The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-religious Dialogue

During the islamic conquest of malaysia thousands of Buddhists were slaughtered

Quote:

When attacked and massacred by the Muslims, the Buddhists initially did not make any attempt to escape from their murderers. They accepted death with an air of fatalism and destiny. And hence they are not around today to tell their story. – History of Jihad.org

the ottoman extermination of the Armenians was not really religious. it was more political because they wanted that area/land.

and the religious conquests in the name of islam had way less causalities then Christianities religious crusades.

these are just facts sis

we cannot change history. it is what it is. nearly all religions have caused mass murders/genocides of their own. we can't single out one religion.

articles that use words like "probably" and "may" are not factual. they are theoretical and are based on offset / false statistics.

also most of your sources are bad or are written with a bias. These sources would not even be accepted in university papers...how are they supposed to be taken seriously here?

This is blaming a religion for everything wrong in the world essentially. Especially since half the **** in the OP was politically driven, not based on the religion.

And the way some people choose to interpret the religion of Islam is on them. You can't blame something that happened centuries ago on the Muslims who just want to practice their religion.

Also, It's estimated 45-50K Muslims are terrorist extremists. There's 1.5B+ Muslims in the world. Do the math, it's minuscule.

Religion is outdated.
