OK now do Islamic Colonialism.
Islamic Colonialism is bad too, if you make a post about it I'll happily upvote it.
So you acknowledge it exists? In that case is it "colonialism" to give land back to the inhabitants who were there when the current colonizers/occupiers came in?
inb4 muh CaAnnAnniTEs Yeah, we get it. There were people before even the Israelis. I will be in favor of giving them a home when they show up. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that though.
Shhh! West bad, East good! Didn't you know? Don't disrupt the jerk!
Islamic conquest did not expel people from their lands nor did it even force them to change their religion. It especially didn't try to kill everyone who wasn't of some Arab "Ubermensch" race like the Zionists. It also wasn't exploiting captured countires as a colony like the British do, instead it was nice to people so they assimilated.
There's still a ton of Christians and Jews living in Arab countries. The Muslims were well known to be far better and accepting to the Jews than the Europeans.
