2019-12-07 14:06:05 UTC

2019-12-07 14:06:14 UTC  

the Middle East converted to Islam by choice, not by force

2019-12-07 14:06:26 UTC  

conquered means forced people with military force.

2019-12-07 14:06:32 UTC  

@Deleted User oh really?

2019-12-07 14:06:50 UTC  

Okay, your getting into semantics here.

The middle east did not convert "By choice" because if they *didn't* convert then they were seen as heretics

2019-12-07 14:06:53 UTC  

Their women were killed

2019-12-07 14:06:57 UTC  

Their loot was stolen

2019-12-07 14:07:03 UTC  

They were dehumanized

2019-12-07 14:07:06 UTC  

Etc etc etc

2019-12-07 14:07:07 UTC  

h'm

2019-12-07 14:07:18 UTC

2019-12-07 14:07:30 UTC

2019-12-07 14:07:33 UTC  

do you mean the very religious texts or the followers of the religion?

2019-12-07 14:07:35 UTC  

What about them Othman?

2019-12-07 14:07:44 UTC  

@quinnn The religious texts

2019-12-07 14:07:45 UTC

2019-12-07 14:07:51 UTC  

What about them?

2019-12-07 14:08:01 UTC

2019-12-07 14:08:04 UTC  

Yes they are

2019-12-07 14:08:13 UTC  

mate my dad hired christian peope to do some construction work in our house

2019-12-07 14:08:22 UTC  

those christian construction workers have been living in kuwait for years

2019-12-07 14:08:36 UTC  

I meet and talk to christians almost everyday here in Kuwait

2019-12-07 14:08:41 UTC  

there are christian teachers in my school

2019-12-07 14:08:53 UTC  

"Article 2 of the Constitution of Kuwait states Islam is the state religion and that Sharia (Islamic Law) shall be a main source of legislation, and as a consequence proselytization of Muslims by non-Muslims is illegal."

2019-12-07 14:09:49 UTC  

proselytization: To attempt to convert someone to one's own religious faith.

2019-12-07 14:09:57 UTC  

that is the country's law mate

2019-12-07 14:10:07 UTC  

that has nothing to do with religion

2019-12-07 14:10:33 UTC  

they aren't forcing anyone to live here, if you want to proselytization go to another country

2019-12-07 14:10:51 UTC  

the Kuwaiti people own the land of Kuwait so they can put their own laws.
