The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Missionaries are not the same as terrorist/freedom-fighters**. I have yet to have a Muslim handing out pamphlets, or coming to my house to tell me Allah's word, or anything of the sort. Same as Jewish people, they don't seem to do that. They don't seem to have a missionary arm. The closest I can think of is the Hare Krishnas (Hindu), who were run out of the airports decades ago. Otherwise it seems to be a uniquely xian thing.

As the other poster said, as a religion Islam has only developed to where xianity was around the time of the Inquisition. Back then, xians were conquering and imposing their religion, on pain of death. Spanish missionaries are famous for it. As late as early 20th century when xians were setting up schools for Native Americans, prohibiting their religion, prohibiting their language, and even taking their children (to put in boarding schools).






**If a fire fighter fights fires, and a crime fighter fights crime, what does a freedom fighter fight? :-)
