Oh now I see the issue, you have trouble that Muslims shouldn’t rule a country at all.
No, I have trouble with being governed by religious laws. I have trouble with being conquered by any religion and then forced to pay a protection tax and being treated like a second-class citizen just like verse 9:29 of the Qur'an advocates.
How is that not the bleedin' obvious?
Well I can give examples where Christian’s and Jews were thriving under Islamic rule. For examples the Jews in Spain, even this they had to abide by Islamic law they strived and even Jews were getting in high positions, like ninisters .look what happend when Christians took over Spain. Jews were prosecuting again and they fled to Islamic countries in North Africa. So don’t come here with you Islamophobic arguments.
A other example were the Christian Copts in Egypt. There were being oppressed under the Christians so they were happy Muslim came.
Non Muslims are allowed to practice their religion freely, they even had their own Jewish court .
I don’t know what you are on but there is no compulsion in religion in Islam. .
Yeah i figured that
Saudi Arabia, you know - the birth place of Islam - does not allow any overt practice of other religions. Churches and temples are illegal. When I lived in Egypt I visited a Coptic church and asked what it was like to live in an Islamic country that ostensibly allows freedom of religion. They told me that Islamic oppression occurs via government go-slow approval of building permits and such. Sure, they can build a church, but it takes years to get the paperwork approved.
Then there's the issues of occasional mob murders. Every once in a while we heard of Muslims getting their feelings hurt and killing Copts. Yeah, who wouldn't want to be ruled by Islam?
