How did the religions of Christianity and Islam get spread?

[Zacs-Master]

Spain was dragged into the then 'modern' ways of life by the Moors. There were multi denominal churches / services. What went wrong?

[Theland]

What is more pertinent today is the negative impact Islam is having on our society, and is not being resisted by the government.
Macron has something like the right idea by confronting Islamism directly, registering imams etc.
We need that too.
Our country has suffered.

Reconquista.

Macron is pandering, there is little he can do at the end of the day

[jno]

I have had Muslim neighbours and Muslim work colleages and had absolutely zero negative impact from any of them.

[Zacs-Master]

Reconquista. Indeed. A fascinating period of human history.

[emmie]

personally i have no time for any religion, so generally try and stay out of these debates.

[Theland]

Saffi Roussos. Aged 7. The youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bomb.
How can anybody stay out of these debates?

[emmie]

that is not what this is about theland

[Theland]

Its one of the ways Islam is spread, by violence into submission.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think anyone is disputing that, Theland, are they?

[Theland]

Should hope not.

Now she’s doing an andy-hughes, i.e. thinking every comment is about her (I’ll ignore your rudeness, Allen. Suffice to say you're getting mixed up).

I’ll come back tomorrow for some sport, as I can’t be Jim Royled today. Keep my place warm, naomi.

[allenlondon]

Theland. You write “ Its one of the ways Islam is spread, by violence into submission.”

Substitute ‘Christianity’ for Islam, and your assertion is just as true (or not).

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Its one of the ways Islam is spread, by violence into submission. //

I cannot believe that you are naive enough to think that terrorism is about religion - and the notion is to spread Islam by violence.

Seriously?

You think the terrorists who bombed the Manchester Arena were doing it as a recruitment drive?

These people are nothing to do with Islam, either promoting it, or condemning it.

They use Islam as a convenient peg to hang their murderous obsessions on, but if you honestly believe that any terrorist is actually interested in furthering their 'faith', then you'd have to agree that they have a seriously counter-productive way of going about it!!

Christianity in many places did spread by conquest violence and genocide how do you think latin america became catholic? It wasn’t before the spaniards arrived! In europe the christians had a ready made empire in their hands when the emperor converted. I do not think they were shy about using force to convert people there either but they were already in power and did not need to conquer (yet).

They got spread by mixing them with oil and putting them on bread slices then posting the bread slices to various counties letting folk pick one or the other.

Buddhism and Hindu opted for Pop Tarts and so are quite different.

Shinto however went in for Kit Kat. And Zoroastrians went for Oreo cookies.

When it comes to the question of origin, people of different religions think of names such as Muḥammad, the Buddha, Confucius, and Jesus. In almost every religion, we can find a central figure to whom credit is given for establishing the ‘true faith.’ Some of these were iconoclastic reformers. Others were moralistic philosophers. Still others were selfless folk heroes. Many of them have left behind writings or sayings that formed the basis of a new religion. In time what they said and did was elaborated, embellished, and given a mystic aura. Some of these leaders were even deified.

It was at place call Babel that men, in defiance of Jehovah, decided to make a celebrated name for themselves by building a city with a religious tower. This was an apostasy, a falling away from the worship of Noah’s God, a rebellion against Jehovah’s sovereignty. But their building program resulted in dismal failure.

Because Jehovah came down and confused their language. No longer able to communicate with one another, they divided off according to language groups and were scattered from Babel “over all the surface of the earth.” (Gen. 10:8-10; 11:1-9)
So see all their false religion went with them. It became a world empire of false religion, mystic now call “Babylon the Great.”
