I read the comments under this post and I get reminded that religion tolerance is very selective in this country
She just shared her concerns on how she many other Muslims across the world have been thought to handle the Quran and you have people under the comment section attacking for it.
Everybody can grieve out their problems but when it’s a Muslim it’s a bad thing?? Wow
This is a misappropriation of history. Because someone is wearing a suit and tie on the internet doesn't mean they know what they are saying.
1. That the Rashidun Caliphate was a theocracy does not dismiss the fact that it was a government. And as was the fashion of the time, most strong governments expanded their territories. The motive was mostly political though wth religious undertones as expected of a theocracy.
The Misapropriation: 👇
Before the 7th century, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Jerusalem were not Christian countries, they were provinces of the Christian Byzantine Empire ruled from Constantinople.
They were not independent Christian countries.
They were imperial provinces which means that politically they were part of a large empire, not separate Christian nations.
The Rashidun Caliphate conquered the Byzantines in the Battle of Yarmouk, followed by the conquest of Jerusalem and then Egypt in the span of 30 years which earned them those regions by right of conquest, again as was the fashion of the time.
2. “They forced people to convert to Islam”
This claim is outright false.
In the early Islamic empires, Christians and Jews were classified as “People of the Book.”
They were allowed to keep their religion.
They paid a special tax called "jizya" instead of military service.
Conversion to Islam happened gradually over hundreds of years, mainly because:
Muslims did not pay the jizya tax. It was economically comfortable to be a muslim in such a political terrain.
In fact, when Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 637, the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab issued the Pact of Umar, which guaranteed protection for Christian churches and property.
Another factor was Social mobility in Muslim administration, and Cultural and linguistic change.
If conversion had been forced, these regions would have become Muslim immediately, which did not happen.
3. “Islam is the greatest colonial force in history”
This is false!
Islamic empires did indeed expand widely at their peak, but many empires did expand similarly. The Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the British Empire to mention a few.
The British Empire, for example, ruled more territory and people than any empire in history and both the Roman and British Empires can be said to be Christian empires and murdered a lot of people in their wake.
4. “Islam has killed more people than any institution”
False!
There is no evidence for this claim. No historian or dataset supports it.
Large death tolls in history include:
- World War II approximately 70–85 million deaths
- Mongol Conquests approximately 30–40 million deaths
- World War I 20 million deaths
These were not Islamic conflicts. Many wars in Islamic history were political and imperial, not purely religious.
The same is true for wars involving Christian empires, such as the Crusades and European colonial wars.
Why did the Middle East Became Muslims?
It's simple, political rule by Muslim empires, Arabic language spreading, economic incentives, intermarriage and culture, gradual conversion over centuries
It was not a single wave of forced conversions.
I won't let anyone revise history for religious vendetta. Thank you!
There is absolutely no verse in the Qur’an that transfers fuel from one car to another. None. Zero.
The Qur’an is a book of guidance, mercy, wisdom and spiritual protection. It is not a book of magic tricks or supernatural car mechanics.
Yes, we believe the Qur’an is powerful. Yes, we believe in divine protection. But protection from Allah does not mean suspending the laws of physics in cartoon style fashion. Islam does not teach fantasy.
If someone is chasing you, you call for help, you drive safely, you seek protection, and you make du’a. That is how Islam teaches balance between reliance on Allah and taking practical steps.
Even the Prophet ﷺ took precautions in dangerous situations. During the migration from Mecca to Medina, he did not just recite and walk openly. He planned, hid in the cave of Cave of Thawr, and took strategic steps. That is real tawakkul. Trust in Allah plus action.
Spreading claims like this makes Islam look unserious and turns the Qur’an into something people mock. We should fear speaking about Allah without knowledge.
If there was such a verse, every oppressed Muslim in the world would be using it daily. Be sincere.
Let us educate ourselves properly. The Qur’an is not a fairy tale book. It is revelation. Respect it.
May Allah protect us from ignorance and from attributing lies to the religion.

If you ever had a bad day during Ramadan, be thankful you didn't accidentally eat a shawarma with extra tahini along with an apple and 3 litres of water.
