think maybe how Christians treated the Muslims in the past might have something to do with that?

@SW-User So two wrongs make a right?

@Palumbo98lucrezia Nope, but it makes you understand where their anger is coming from. The foolish things we humans do in the name of religion.
@SW-User You need to learn your history and read the Quran. Saracens tormented and subjugated Christians for over 400 years before Pope Urban allowed the first crusade. Christians never bothered anyone until they were decimated by the the Saracen hordes . Then it was the Roman Catholic Church and NOT the Christians who led a battle to defend Christians. The year was 1094, and the Christians in the middle east were nearly wiped out.

@Palumbo98lucrezia You've obviously never heard of the Golden Rule. It turns out that xians want to be oppressed. We know this because of the Golden Rule and their past behaviors, showing others how they wish to be treated.

It's not hard.

@daisymay The Golden Rule is for your neighbours who would hope you are civilised enough to discuss things not pick up a scimitar or Kalashnikov!

@Palumbo98lucrezia Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Ergo, if you oppress people for not sharing your beliefs, they should do the same to you.
@Palumbo98lucrezia If you would just read the Quran , you would see it is a manual of war and not a religious book.

@SW-User are we talking about the Crusades, which stemmed from the way Muslims treated Christians

@BigGuy2 How very Christian of you. Someone treats you badly, treat them just as bad. To hell with Jesus and that turn the other cheek crap.

@SW-User ... so, let’s get this straight, I would suggest the Pope at the time - Urban II - would initially have said to the Muslims “....please stop killing Christians...” what do YOU think their reply would have been 🤔 ... are you saying that after their reply, Urban left it at that and said “...OK, I tried, I’ll finish off my coffee now and leave you lot to rape, murder and turn Christians into slaves ...”

🤔 ... hard one to answer

@SW-User Do you not understand the Golden Rule? It isn't that difficult.
