A long time ago, I read the other side of the crusades. I forgot the book and the writer but I clearly remember the story. When time of prayer came, the Christian crusaders demanded a cease fire to say mass. The Muslims agreed. After mass, the fight went on. Then the Muslims asked the same from the Christians. The kneeled towards Mecca and said their prayers. The Christians immediately killed as many as they could, while the Muslims were defenseless. Recently a Substacker wrote an article of how terrible it is, that Muslims converted almost all of North Africa. I responded, that before the Muslims, the Christians did exactly that all over the world, and Baptists are still doing it in East Asia. I just saw a tube about a tribe living on the borders of Myanmar. Their govt finances Baptist churches, takes away the power of the local chief, and gives it to the Baptist minister. The young boys are kidnapped to work or join the army, (or worse?) and none of them returned. They have to do their local rituals and traditions in hiding, because otherwise they get punished. They are force converted. History repeats itself.
