Website title:

the newest dweeb can have the vorgins and have fun. I have more evidence to prove him to be just another liar. Here is De Lacy O'leary, a Christian historian and orientalist from his book "Islam at the cross road":

“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.”

Thomas Arnold is another Christian missionary and historian. From his book "the spread of islam in the world"

"“.. of any organized attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population, or of any systematic persecution intended to stamp out the Christian religion, we hear nothing. Had the caliphs chosen to adopt either course of action, they might have swept away Christianity as easily as Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain, or Louis XIV made Protestanism …”

and here is the Caliph Abu Bakr telling his army before they were about to conquer a land:

“Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy’s flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.”

now what's so hard about this? Get something like this to prove these two of just many other historians wrong. Who they got, AINA? Aprim?
