Basically my Muslim theological knowledge comes from this dude:

That and what I've read about history and political science.
I don't think theology is normally worth getting into unless you are a believer and you find fulfillment in such stuff. But a lot of people in America believe Islam has theologically incited violence (not simply modern politics). So I spent a little time poking around the academic circles to see what they think on the issue. Basically there is no reason to assume a Muslim population is more prone to violence; nevertheless, the circumstances of many Muslim countries are very dire. Therefore, Muslim states tend to be more violent in modern times. But that is no reason to get bigoted about it and blame the religion. |
Tell me how Islam expanded
Iran didn't invite the Arabs in. Since we're talking about history I don't remember the lesson where we welcomed the genocide of 300,000 civilians and the eradication of Zoroastrianism, a vastly superior religion
