Zach what is with this silly nonsense you are talking about, it's like you are just posting with your gut and not thinking things through. Stop posting like a liberal.
Two things first Islamic empires were fucking horrible but so were all empires. All groups that were conqured by empires had it rough, and those who were at the top of the empire had it great. Aren't you pro empire and conquest and want America to get into more wars with China or Russia to make the U.S. sphere of influence larger? That's an empire. Why is it good now in 2023 to do that, but bad in 1600 for the Turks to conquer Eastern Europe?
I mean I dislike the Turks because they were invading MY ancestors, but I recognize that thats just how empires operate my people before the Turks had an Empire as Rome and we did the same to Gaul, Germany, Israel, etc. Conquest and slavery is normal The British did it, the French did it, the Spanish did it, America still does it though it tries to hide it.
Oh and their religion is founded on conquest yes, but that's relatively common it is nothing special. There are only two religions I know of whose founders were peaceful Christianity and Buddhism. Other world religions from Pagans, to Jews, to Hindus all were started with conquest and subjugation.
King, I seriously wonder where you've studied...
anything.
Islam has a history of treating subjugated peoples worse than basically anyone except the Aztecs.
You apparently have little clue about what the founding concepts of the various major world religions were as well.
1. Judaism was founded in
the liberation of the nation of Israel from captivity. Yes, a generation later they invaded Canaan and drove many of the peoples there at the time out, but that's not where it was
founded, and importantly, it had no expansionist mandate, or religious law saying 'go to other lands and force people to convert or be enslaved.'
2. Confucianism was founded by a scholar, not a warlord.
3. Hinduism's origins go so far back nobody has a clear idea where exactly it distinctly started, it
certainly didn't start with 'convert, be enslaved, or die,' expansionism like Islam.
4. Shinto similarly is so ancient that its emergence and what social events happened at the time are not so clear.
There are literally no major world religions
aside from Islam founded by a warlord, spread primarily by conquest, and that codify as religious law the enslavement and subjugation of non-adherents.
If the Aztec religious system was still around, we'd be looking at some competition, but the destruction of
that is one definite win that can be accredited to the Spanish.
