The Qur'an categorically forbids this. This is a myth fabricated by the Catholic Church and perpetuated by Christian scholars. Christianity, on the other hand, was frequently spread at the point of a sword, by, among others, the Spanish.Samehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111286859472151621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699820429313289113.post-44331966505914231002017-02-20T09:21:36.866-08:002017-02-20T09:21:36.866-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699820429313289113.post-43090306287986320712017-02-18T05:09:42.032-08:002017-02-18T05:09:42.032-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699820429313289113.post-81962463269132908132017-02-07T02:08:48.443-08:002017-02-07T02:08:48.443-08:00Gary

Or even the persians with the lashmids allies too against first arab armies .<br />Online i read that first arab armies are small , they use schemes to turn battle outbreak on their favour.<br />Some use "shame" as a weapon, as their wife turn then down if they run out of battles defeated , some use traitors from gassanid tribes inside byzantine cities walls , others disguise themselves as women to be close to roman generals in battle and kill them .Many other things i read about those first times .<br />Most east roman , or persians are been tired of fighting , and romans lack in those days fighting spirit cause they believe numbers always matter most than will or tactics .But thats not so in may ocasions .<br />You don`t need to read sun tzu , to know that one army if weak cannot defeat a much stronger by force in an open and fair battle .<br />Only after conquer persia , siria and palaestina prima , and egipt , as from learning from grec and roman war manuals , and from those first forced thousands convert numbers rise up , they fought inside enemy lands , on siege too, using siege weapons , and navy ships from learned levantine , and egipt native people ones.<br />Even so they might always , on rashidum caliphate use the "gazwa" , as say shorth and deadly incursions inside enemy soft spots to induce mayhew and destrution .<br />Then as time goes by , romans , adapt and fought as the same valour, and with frankish and european armies they outbalanced the first losses .<br />But them the enemy are normans on one side and seljud turks on the other side , so as armenian lands fall too , with large numbers of conscription soldiers to be fall in it , the empire was doom , so as often dinastic plots carve the aristocracy of the last roman east empire too .<br />Defeat at last by numbers . <br />Excubitors , varangians , or frankish bought to fight for byzantium ... are "super soldiers" too , but they fight on many fronts , and be outnumbered .<br />So smarteness , or cunning deceptions ... as IED s ... pressure cooker bombs ... or randon killers trucks ... as today , can turn societies upside down , as traitors inside with " pussy ears hats on " , or on the media , or others with ideologic aims , as "sons of wittiza " traitors ... these days the hard radical left , and red communist urss missing ones .<br />Those hard radical left , the red commies , socialist tribal mobsters , and stupid suicidal feminists , flirting with islam to seek their support as "storm troppers" on their fight against brothers in their own lands . Traitors who cannot see things above the horizon .<br />The Wall , build the Wall , and impose the ban , as you are all doom , on a near future, if you do not do that .<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699820429313289113.post-9460505739087174832017-02-06T18:03:29.296-08:002017-02-06T18:03:29.296-08:00You ignore the fanaticism of Muslim Jihadi troops....You ignore the fanaticism of Muslim Jihadi troops. <br /><br />That factor put fear in the Roman troops on the front lines. Fear of the enemy is in of itself a real weapon in battle. See fear of the Vikings or the Apaches or of the Japanese in battle.<br /><br />Once these "super soldiers" start to be defeated then the myth of the enemy being invincible vanishes and a level playing field exists in battle.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879366155439374458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699820429313289113.post-12819019100445046412017-02-04T09:07:52.096-08:002017-02-04T09:07:52.096-08:00I think the exhaustion of the Romans after the war...I think the exhaustion of the Romans after the war with the Persians might be overplayed as a reason for their ineffectiveness against the Arabs. By most accounts the empire was still able to field a very large army at Yarmouk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
