This guy talks abt the difficulties Muslims faced after 9/11. Which there was but does he ever talk abt how the Christian’s are being killed and forced to leave their countries in the Middle East ever. Christian’s used to be 20 percent of the Arab population in the early 20th century. Now less like 2 percent. I wonder what happened to them,(reply>), @Alex Joy Jizya was a the tax for non-Muslims so that they DIDN'T have to go to war. Muslims were obliged to enlist in the army in times of war, but Christians and Jews didn't have to. So it wasn't a hateful tax.<br>You speak of Christians being harmed and executed in the Middle East. But do you know that these same Arab governments have executed us as well? Do you remember the purges in the 80's in Egypt and Syria? Vast arrests and disappearances of Muslim students? This isn't a Muslim vs. Christian thing. It's a corrupt Arab government vs. everyone else thing.<br>No one hates Christians. Christians are literally all over the Middle East. Yes, their populations aren't like 1000 years ago, but that's history. No one has "decimated" them. In fact, Muslims like Emir Abdelkader even DEFENDED them!,(reply>), @ApplePie exactly in a small town in Syria. But you can’t deny that the Christian population was decimated. Also y’all consider us dhimmi’s. In an actual Islamic empire that actually follows the sharia, we would have to pay the jizya. If Europe did that to Muslims living in Europe, that would be outrageous. And I would be the first person to protest with you. I’m happy that your intentions aren’t like that but a sizable minority in the Middle East does think like that. And in Europe, Muslims can convert anyone, and the state is not going to put you to death or put you in jail. In the Middle East if a Christian tried to do that then they would be killed or jailed, plus the convert would also be killed for apostasy. All I’m saying is the standards are not the same. This is not an attack on all Muslims, just how Christian’s are not treated the same as a Muslims would be in the West or most Christian countries.,(reply>), ​@Alex Joy Christians are widespread across the Middle East. Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Egypt all have sizeable Christian populations.<br>Christians are not and were never hated by Muslims. Many churches are still preserved all across the Middle East. They still speak Aramaic, Jesus' mother tongue, in a small town in Syria.,(reply>), @silver yea cause the struggles that Muslims go through in the West, pales in comparison to what minorities go through in Muslim countries. In Europe, Muslims get discriminated against at the most. In the Middle East, Christian’s and  yazidis are getting killed. There is levels to struggles. Christians have been ethnically cleansed, just like how Palestinians are now but worse,(reply>), In an interview about Islam, the best you could come up with was a useless whataboutism?
