they always told me that Islam spread by sword killing everyone who didn’t convert,

then casually mention how much jews thrived in Al Andaluz, or how there were Jewish communities in Palestine that thrived there since the Roman empire collapsed. and Jews who were in Yemen for thousands of years. and Marroco…

Almost like despite a non Muslim tax, Islam was actually tolerant.

and it is modern Neocolonialism they pushes for theocratic dictatorships in arab countries to secure oil.
