Because Christianity in North Africa,
while dominate in the 7th Century, was very fragmented.
Wave after wave of heresy decimated the Spiritual Authority of the Roman Orthodox Church [The Church of Constantine the Great] and so when the Arabs came and conquered it, in the 7th century the locals quickly abandoned Christianity for Islam and that is why you don’t see a sizable Christian minority in Algeria, Tunis, Morocco, or Libya.
The story was different in Egypt, where the populous was unified under Coptic Christianity and we’re led spiritually by the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, which is why Egypt was majority Christian all the way till the 1700s.
That's not news. Christianity can be at least anecdotally dated in the subcontinent to the first Century A.D. The Portuguese found Christians in Goa who claim that their community was founded by St. Thomas the Apostle.
Uhm, Christianity (specifically nestorian christians) and Judaism were there before Islam. Mohammed just blatantly copied and combined the two "religions" in his area. (the official story is that he had "visions" about it in a cave, rofl)
if you take your time to read the Quran, it's just a laughable stunted combination of the Bible and Torah. It's like when you copied your homework from someone else in the break before class and you changed some stuff to make it look original but of course it turned out very shitty.
Seriously, people should just read the Quran, it's such a clusterfuck it's not even funny.
Islam was and is considered a heresy. It's a made up thing as we know.
It is nothing more than a rip off of Eastern Orthodoxy. They sought to copy even the the architecture. The domes are Roman not islamic. Jesus in the koran is not Jesus of the Gospels but some bull crap fan fiction. They are phony knock offs who were syphoning off believers so they could get people to follow their death cult that sanctioned child brides, brutality and theft. Muhammed...was no more a prophet than Joseph Smith was...
I was going to add Joseph Smith if you didn't! Copying something people know and making alterations to suit your needs is the easiest way to make yourself a false prophet.
He's actually their Messiah, he is a higher authority than Mohammad. Curious thing though, only Mohammad's interpretation of Jesus's teachings are valid, so the rapist's word is final after all...
It is amazing. I remember first reading through Gods laws for Israel and being in awe. No human system compares to the justice, equity, and reason God provided to Israel
I wouldn't exactly call the transcripts of seventy Jews arguing over the proper procedure for prayer recitations to be all that amazing.
Wait! There's an addendum for procedures if the prayer is recited by a left handed person.
Wait! There's an addendum for procedures if the person's thirteenth birthday occurs before a new moon.
Wait! There's an addendum for procedures if he's left handed, turns thirteen before a new moon, and has primary residence outside of the national borders.
Repeat for every possible topic known to man. And every possible permutation of possible situations that may affect the circumstances.
Have you actually read the Talmud/Mishnah and Midrash or are you just reading portions on the internet? I'm genuinely curious because my line of thought was similar to yours until I read the entire text.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, North to Mongolia, West to Kazakhstan, and East to Japan almost all the countries ending in a "stan" suffex were Buddhist before the Muslim invasions. Vietnam, Thailand, China, Cambodia, Lao.
King Ashokha sent emissaries all across the known world.
anything/everything of cultural, scientific, and historical significance should be removed from muslim countries so it doesn't get purged for allah by the locals, change my view
Why should anyone disagree with you? The Muhammadans are simply following the Sunnah. When they conquered Mecca they walked into the market where the 360 idols were and shattered each one barring the Black Stone, which was the icon representing the vagina of the fertility goddess Al-lat aka Venus aka Astartes, which Abu Qasim absorbed into his cult because as we all know praying to and kissing rocks is pure monotheism. The rest were utterly smashed.
All of africa and most of the middle east was christian before islam came. The problem is European kingdoms at the time didnt give a shit when islam ran ramapant genociding these christians until it came to their borders. Very unfortunate.
"Cross cultural traffic"
What you did there, I see it
Much of Christendom has been conquered by the muslims. Most refuse to see it though.
It isn't learned, I k ew the Romans became Christian and ruled around the entire Mediterranian but never why they suddenly werent Christian..

Sounds like Christianity needs to return to this region.
Deus Vult.

Yes! This is a very fascinating story. The trade routes through India would have made this possible.

It makes the Book of Mormon look sensible.
I often compare Islam to Mormomism, and yes, Islam is much more silly, especially when 1billion people actually believe it
Sorry but I can prove to you all that Mohammed was a Prophet of GOD!
He got more than 5 Arabs to agree on anything...

The Romans perfected the dome. Of course they were pagan. I'm not stupid. But Muslims specifically copied Christian architecture.
No one built a dome like the Pantheon and the Hagia Sophia before them.
He's actually their Messiah, he is a higher authority than Mohammad. Curious thing though, only Mohammad's interpretation of Jesus's teachings are valid, so the rapist's word is final after all...
Almost ALL countries that are islamic were Christian nations. Turkey
Jordan
Syria
Albania
Tunisia
Egypt
Lebanon
The list goes on and on...
It’s so sad Fuck the Ottoman Empire
And the Mamaluke Empire. And the Mogul Empire.
Fuck Empire. It was the worst Total War game for a reason.
Yeah that tv show is shit too.
Well they were not murdered into being Christian.
We must reclaim the holy land!
Make Istanbul Constantinople Again.
European countries will be next if people don't wake up.
I am a Muslim faggot
We always suspected you were a Muslim, faggot.
... and after.
Unlike, with Islam.
Not really. Christianity is the fulfillment of the Jewish religion which is older
Read the talmud
It is amazing. I remember first reading through Gods laws for Israel and being in awe. No human system compares to the justice, equity, and reason God provided to Israel

The person you replied to has likely never read/studied Jewish text
Have you actually read the Talmud/Mishnah and Midrash or are you just reading portions on the internet? I'm genuinely curious because my line of thought was similar to yours until I read the entire text.
Fuck Islam.
That is all.
Isn't that common knowledge?
Other articles say the cross is 6 feet by 7 feet. Thats not exactly a traditional cross.
Hinduism was there 8,000 years before either Christianity or Islam.
History of religion in Pakistan
Must be the Nestorians, also known as the Church of the East.
Uhm, even Muslims know this.
Implies? That is already known....
Islam culturally appropriated many elements of Christianity and Judaism and genocided countless Christian and Jewish cities and countries.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, North to Mongolia, West to Kazakhstan, and East to Japan almost all the countries ending in a "stan" suffex were Buddhist before the Muslim invasions. Vietnam, Thailand, China, Cambodia, Lao. King Ashokha sent emissaries all across the known world.
According to the Urantia book, JC travelled to India in his earlier years.
Duh
anything/everything of cultural, scientific, and historical significance should be removed from muslim countries so it doesn't get purged for allah by the locals, change my view

In before "They are on stolen land."
I'll wait.
