When on earth did I claim they were?But they weren't early Christians....
You asked for any other faith in which it’s founder lead people into battle (the inference being that it’s unique to Islam), I gave you an example, and quite a blood thirsty one at that.
The battle of SiddimI'm curious, what battles, and against whom, did Abraham lead his people?
Muhammad is maybe the only founder of a major religion who did command an army and so this violence has been present in the religion from the outset contrary to (all?) others.
Factually... that's bollocks.
Henry VIII, Fidei Defensor and recognised godhead led troops into battle. The last FD godhead to do so was George II in his capacity as Fidei Defensor re-incarnate.
I mean, this is fairly simple level British history but I guess it doesn't fit what some might think to be a monotonous islamaphobic narrative.
What religions did Henry VIII and George II found? Abraham and Mohammad founded religions, to the best of my knowledge the two you mentioned did not.
So the defence is that although there were bloodthirsty warlike people leading the religion, they didn't found it so it's not comparable to Islam? Hmmm.
Meanwhile, Siddim is still a thing. Thank goodness Abraham gave way to peaceful OT leaders like Moses, Joshua and David. /s
"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.
"Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God."
-- Deuteronomy 20:16-18
Why....why would you talk about the Old Testament rather than the Tanakh?When on earth did I claim they were?

At no time did I claim it was Christianity, but it certainly is part of Christianity’s back story.

I think I posted about how violent Judaism was before
After the mass beheadings in Mozambique there's been another attack, this time in Nigeria where at least 40 are dead
Ssshhh, it’s got to just be about one thing, or the entire argument falls apart.Isn't this more about Boko Haram in it's literal sense and post-colonial Nigeria?
Who has said it is the only representation of Islam in the world today, or that the attacks are solely to do with Islam?
I fear people are starting to develop a blind side towards Islam and violence committed in its name as it goes against the admirable idea that all religions are equally "good" or "bad" in every respect. Acts like the recent beheadings in Mozambique, however, make me question this belief.

Are you trying to say those are contradictory statements?After.
Macron’s party bans Muslim candidate for wearing hijab in poster
Not sure why they'd do this, it's not against the law. I realise they say overt symbols of religion shouldn't be on display on campaign documents but to ban her for that?
Oops. Fixed.I know you think you added a link to this post, but you did not.
I like how the distaste for seeing lives taken is presented as an indication of feeble-mindedness.Warning for the feeble minded, there's footage of the radical one shooting people.
That's my bad. I was under the impression that it was the same as having a weak stomach or faint of heart. Mixed up my translations. Again, my bad.I like how the distaste for seeing lives taken is presented as an indication of feeble-mindedness.
Sometimes is, sometimes isn't.Granted he does it in the name of Allah, but terrorism has nothing to do with believing in any god what so ever.
I'm not sure you can extricate this part from religion, or the influence of a religion.edit
