&gt; Again, your conclusion about Muslims being fundamentally blood-thirsty is unsupported.<p>I&#x27;ve certainly never concluded <i>that,</i> you can verify all what I wrote. What I wanted to point out is that there is real danger that once Muslims attempt to read the &quot;primary sources&quot; themselves discover inspiration for immense intolerance, really not comparable to such present in Old or New Testament (and I&#x27;ve met some very radical and unpleasant Christians too). Not to mention that most &quot;converts&quot; are sucked in over their acquaintances, independently of the will of their families.<p>&gt; most Muslims don&#x27;t want to kill you<p>One of my best friends from childhood from basically secular Muslim family later converted to more fundamental Islam and he specifically isn&#x27;t fighting except intellectually, at least as far as I know about him now, so you don&#x27;t need to explain me that. Still I personally saw the fundamentalism rising and was actually close enough to atrocities of different kinds and directions. A member of my family had the luck just by accident to avoid one Islamic bomb attack. A few generations ago more neighboring (Christian) villages of my relative were wiped out by Muslims, women and children included. The world isn&#x27;t for everybody as nice as is maybe for you so that you can just turn the head away and pretend that dangerous and disgraceful things don&#x27;t exist and in some periods don&#x27;t ugly grow.<p>Ask Armenians (Christians killed by the Ottoman Turks): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Armenian_Genocide" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Armenian_Genocide</a><p>A Hindu from India also gave his voice in this discussion and somebody downvoted him, even though he wanted to point to something meaningful:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Persecution_of_Hindus" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Persecution_of_Hindus</a><p>&quot;The Indian historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in World history&quot; [3]&quot; (at the time of Muslim invasions and rule)<p>The Christians in the areas controlled by the Islamic law had the periods of &quot;relatively quiet times&quot; (with always much worse treatment than Muslims) and another periods of extreme suffering performed by the Muslim ruling minority. Note: just the minority of the population in their area were Muslims, and that was enough for extreme suffering. The biggest proof: Hindus.<p>So what the &quot;most&quot; of Muslim population does isn&#x27;t even important. Even small number of determined oppressors (claiming to do just what their religion gives them right to do) is enough to make huge damage. And this can&#x27;t be downplayed.
