My favourite response to people claiming Islam is inherently violent with terrorism as proof is to point out that the religion is only 1400(-ish) years old and remind them that Christianity did far worse during the Crusades (about 1100-1500) with a lot more support from everyday Christians. What are people gonna do when I say that? I’m Catholic. Those were people in my religion. I’m not lying. Muslims are typically more peaceful than Christians, and that’s that on that
Do you know what happened to Spain and Portugal just 400 years prior to the Crusades?
Do you know who Odo of Tolouse or Charles Martel were?
Do you know what jizya is?
Tell me how many Christian equivalents exist to ISIL, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood, Tahrir al Sham, Hamas and the list goes on.
Or just a simpler question: ask what happens to a Muslim that converts to Catholicism and see what happens.
