Christian/Muslim ThreadsChauvinism and ReligionBut when are you claiming Islam was ever spread by fighting? Nobody was ever forced to convert, on the contrary the whole point of the growth of the Islamic state is so that NO Christian or Jew would have to be subservient to their "human" kings in places like Byzantine and Persia. The point was to allow religious minorities to live by their religious laws but not have to be forced by their empires' civil laws or kings to be servile. Jesus (pbuh) was a Messenger sent specifically to the Jews in a particular region, whereas the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sent as a Messenger to mankind. Also, you keep talking about the "Jizya tax," but I can't even come close to understanding why you think this is an oppressive tax. It was paid only by non-Muslim males who chose not to defend the Islamic state. Many Jews and Christians decided to defend the state against other empires, and they did not have to pay. Both Muslim men and women have to pay obligatory alms, which is often more than the Jizya itself. In fact, it was in the advantage of rich Jews and Christians to pay the Jizya if they disbelieved.
