Somebody please tell this man, in small words that he might be able to understand, that Christians - and Jews, and Samaritans, and anybody else who wasn’t a Muslim and didn’t want to become one - have been cruelly persecuted by Muslims for the full 1350 years that Islam has been dominant throughout the middle east/ north africa/ central asia/ se asia, irrespective of what anybody else was doing, anywhere?

Has he not read Quran Surah 9:29? And 48:29, about how Muslims are supposed to be harsh (cruel, ruthless) to Unbelievers and ‘compassionate’ only toward fellow Muslims. Just those two verses provide a perfectly sufficient explanation for the hellish treatment that the indigenous Christian (and other) minorities have received from the Muslim imperialists and overlords, everywhere and at all times, including today.

Arch dhimmi Rowan is so smart, persecution of infidels in Sudana, Egypt copts, hindus in the two variations in the land of the pure, and so on is all provoked by America. To be sucessful in society it is not enough to be stupid, one must also be well mannered. Voltaire Islam humiliates religious freedom of Christians and human rights of Muslims.

“And he will warn that historic communities risk becoming mere ‘museum pieces’”

I guess that potentially makes Londonistan a historic community? This is the rube who is ok with sharia in the UK so I’d take his waffling with a truck load of salt.

Even if America and Britain didn’t exist, Christians (and Jews) would still be persecuted by islam. This started well before England had any say in the middle east, and before America was the US. Another example of ‘not learning from history…’.

America and Britain should do an ‘about face’ and support Israel, and stop supporting ANY islamic country…
