The entire Christian faith is built on appropriation, stifling descent, and conversion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't seem to recall in my vague history studies a paranoid Islamic reaction to the Christianization of the world.


And this idea of Islam being an illegitimate religion? Why don't we ask the Jews about Christ. He didn't even fulfill the requirements as the messiah. Or am I wrong about that too?
