These figures are a rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad.

Africa
Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. For every slave captured many others died. Estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation, five others were killed in the initial raid or died of illness and privation on the forced march.[Woman’s Presbyterian Board of Missions, David Livingstone, p. 62, 1888] Those who were left behind were the very young, the weak, the sick and the old. These soon died since the main providers had been killed or enslaved. So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have an estimated death of about 120 million people. Islam ran the wholesale slave trade in Africa.
120 million Africans

Christians
The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-10] . A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad. So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have:
60 million Christians

Hindus
Koenard Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the total jihad against India. [Koenard Elst, Negationism in India, Voice of India, New Delhi, 2002, pg. 34.] The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the “funeral pyre of the Hindus.”
80 million Hindus

Buddhists
Buddhists do not keep up with the history of war. Keep in mind that in jihad only Christians and Jews were allowed to survive as dhimmis (servants to Islam); everyone else had to convert or die. Jihad killed the Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India. The total is roughly 10 million. [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-1.]
10 million Buddhists

Jews
Oddly enough there were not enough Jews killed in jihad to significantly affect the totals of the Great Annihilation. The jihad in Arabia was 100 percent effective, but the numbers were in the thousands, not millions. After that, the Jews submitted and became the dhimmis (servants and second class citizens) of Islam and did not have geographic political power.

This gives a rough estimate of 270 million killed by jihad.

"Egypt was 14.5 Million people when first opened in Umar's time. When Napoleon walked in 1000 years later, the country was down to 2.5 Million people. 1000 years of bad management causing famines, ethnic cleansings, genocides, revolts. And that happened to one of the world most advanced civilizations.

1000 years and instead of increasing, instead of remaining 14.5 Million, they went down to 2.5 Million.

If we assume the number should have remained 14.5 Million. I we estimate One generation every 25 years. Then we have 250 generations over 1000 years. Over 250 generations, the population lost 12 Million from its total count.

on average each generation would have had to lose 48,000 people over 250 generations over 1000 years so that the minimum number of losses would be 12 Million Egyptians. Of course the number of loss is higher since people usually give more birth when facing poverty and hard times and there was no birth control available.

"Hmm, 270 million "killed by jihad" (let's close our ears and pretend it had nothing to do with the political and ethno-cultural tensions in any of the regions) and still less than the amount killed by the Catholic church, the Soviets and many political leaders, OTHER than Muhammad. Yet, no one mentions those statistics. And what about all the non-Christians killed in the "Christianizing" missions of Europeans? Were those the Crusades redux? By the same logic, then the British and French empires "Crusaders" as felt the "White Man's Burden" in needing to modernize the ignorant Brown and Black men.

This website is a joke and a thinly-veiled Islamophobic rant (Christians were "martyred", while other religionists were "killed"?). Good thing true intellectuals and academics don't listen to this kind of hogwash. You all can live in your closed little world thinking that you are important or that anyone really pays attention to your stupidity."

This Site Is a Joke — April 24, 2008 @ 3:58 PM

"I think the history of those annihilated cultures and people need to be documented especially because the political forces that caused these deaths are still quite active. Very few people including those citizens of the European countries currently being islamitized do not even know the reason why this is occurring so connecting this process to the previous 1400 years of violence is difficult. We need to know more of this annihilation. Thank you for your work."

Morning Star — April 26, 2008 @ 6:26 PM

"I think we can all agree that atrocities were commited by Christians in defense of Christianity and in exploration and colonizing of other parts of the world. However, these events took place a long time ago and Christians have since stopped killing in the name of God.
When are the Islamists going to stop?
Europeans and Americans dispensed with slavery hundreds of years ago.
When are the Islamists going to stop?
In light of the fact that EVERY country that is now Islamist was once something else, I see no reason to believe the Islamists will ever stop.
What the world needs now is a whole lot more Islamophobes."

"I am always amazed at the invalid arguments people use to put other people down. Above the person known as "This site is a joke" scoffs and uses the invalid argument that Christians did such and such. No where in the Holy Bible does it say to kill people in the name of God. No such order is given to believers to kill in their Gods name. In fact Jesus says to turn the other cheek. So someone may claim to be a Christian and not follow the doctrines of Christianity, and sin in the name of Christianity. But the Bible’s conscience is clean.

You are right about the Catholic Church. It has committed horrendous crimes killing even those that they should had called brother, fellow Christians. The difference is that the Bible did not tell the Catholic Church to MURDER Christians and Jews. But the Quran does teach its followers to kill unbelievers, especially Jews and Christians.

Islam is the most dangerous Theo-political-legal system in the world. It seeks to convert or destroy the entire world. Just see for yourself:
Sura 9:5 And so, when the sacred months are over, slay those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God wherever you may come upon them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every conceivable place! Yet if they repent, and take to prayer, and render the purifying dues, let them go their way: for, behold, God is much forgiving, a dispenser of grace.

Islam is a backward barbaric political/religious system that does not compare to the love of God in the Bible. There is no doubt in my mind that YHWH and Allah are two completely different gods. One is the God of Love and the other is the god of death.

Islam needs to be defeated on all fronts. If one can’t see that then one is either a Muslim who wants to dominate the world, or is a person that is blind or completely nuts."

Kevin Lessard — May 12, 2008 @ 6:18 PM

"Having studied both Christianity and Islam extensively, it is both right and necessary to document the genocide of the 270 million people who have died at the hands of Islam. This genocide is a testimony to the efficacy of authentic Islam--which by its own scriptural references is bellicose, misogynistic, racist, intolerant, and imperialistic. Authentic Christianity is the antithesis of these evils, so the violence committed by Christians is outside its orthodoy and they should be condemned as apostate crimes. Let us speak truth about Islam so we can confront it and keep it from stealing our peace, freedom, and our ability to worship (or not worship) as we wish."

"Ok,
you guys seem here gathered especially against Islam and pretending Christianity didnt mention kill, how come there were lots of Crusades then in the past, WW1 and 2also were ran by one of yours, slavery was also huge business of Christian countries for centuries, how those black people come to USA what you think, however you cant blame the religion to the deeds of politicals which used it as shelter to their deeds, so please stop bringing funny arguments which arent even backed up by links of sources, do you really think this will stop wise people from converting to Islam, do you think they didnt consider before converting everything? it was your practice here in Asia recently trying to buy illeterate people to come to your religion and we are much aware of this kind of dirty practices run by you, however once people gets more inteligent by seeking real true religion then they are converting to Islam and this must make you think of it again if you are a person of wisdom. since anyway in the last we all will be judged to our righteous deeds ever we did in this life so not to regret in the doomsday, I will advise to anyone think of his deeds and choices once again with wisdom as there wont be any second chance instead of blindly protecting your own choice with no logical backup, and I invite you to this site where you can have a chance to debate and prove your words if you are sure of what you say instead of writing all of these stupid sues without debating? wise people will first prove what he says and if you think you are right keep on debating and proving this will maybe( I am sure not going to happen) stop your people from converting to Islam. here is link:
http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/islam/
I hope we all will not regret last day what we did in the past and think you guys arent just trying to blindly backup your religion but can also prove your words which I doubt on as you allways failed in debates but dont stop repeating words without any logical proof or backup!
Peace be upon you,
Sobir!"

"My family and I live in a Muslim country of Malaysia, and we are non-Muslims. Although many Muslim folks are pretty humble, the average Muslim ministers and govt servants are above Allah in this land. Even the mosque has to get permission from the BN govt regarding its sermon. This shows you how Quran-led this country is.

Compared to 30 years ago, Malaysia is fast becoming the hypocrite and evil regime of the Middle East version of Islam. Violence, oppression and injustice.

And the Islamic authorities cannot punish the Muslim men in power, and only goes after female beauty pagents and atheletes who shows their naked arms and legs, and people who criticise the corrupt govt. After the arrests they continue watching the beauty pagents as if watching the non-Muslims in swimsuits is not a sinful act. Most Muslim countries are corrupt and cheat their own Muslim brothers.

The Muslims are facing death everyday (Death means separation from God). They reject alcohol but are drunk in their own sinful lusts and greed. To those Christians who died to their physical bodies, we know that they are with Jesus. So we continue with rejoicing for the Good News, and pray that Allah will one day be revealed as the Anti-Christ. Most Malaysians do not need the Quran to know that Allah is the devil and the Muslims their demons.

The world will be so dark that the only light is the church."

"Hey retarded first poster:

1. Muslims purposely cast different conflicts as ethnic or nationalist ones when speaking to ignorant and naive western dhimmi wannabes such as yourself, who lap it up, but when speaking to each other, it's all about Jihad, maybe if you actually read and studied the Qu'ran, the Sunnah (especially the two Authenticated Ahadith, Bukhari and Muslim), if you had paid any attention to 1000 years of Islamic Fiqh (jurisprudence) maybe you wouldn't be so blind.

2. The Soviets killed about 100 million, almost a third of those killed by Jihad, the fascists of WW2 killed about 20 million, estimates of the numbers killed by the catholic church during the spanish inquisition and other "heresies" , and even including the crusades, don't even top 200,000

3.The fact that European colonialists and imperialists acted on racist, supremacist beliefs when conquering and christianizing the orient and the new world in no way excuses Islam for acting THE EXACT SAME WAY in it's own expansion, which resulted in the genocide of Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Christians (yes, it is possible for Christians to be victims!) Not only is Islam EXACTLY like the racist imperialists of yore, but Europe learned the hard way and for the most part gave up on imperialism. Islam is the exact opposite, and only seeks to continue, as sanctioned by divine law, as we see in Chechnya, Israel, India, Thailand, and the Philippines.

4. the Crusades were a response (albeit a bad one) to 3 centuries of unchecked Muslim aggression that saw the Islamization of Spain, North Africa, the Levant and Anatolia. Islam did all of that through conquering, after purifying the Arabian peninsula by murdering or enslaving all Jews and pagans.

5. Islamophobia was invented by Jihadi supremacist front groups posing as civil rights groups, whose intent is to cast all legitimate criticism of supremacist Islamic ideology as "racist" or "bigoted" in the minds of stupid, ignorent, kool aid drinking idiots as yourself. Is it Islamophobic to fear a creed posing as a religion that calls for the murder or enslavement of the entire world, a divine sanction to war and murder against the 'other' that all schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree upon (whether one of the four Sunni Madh'hab which make up 90+% of the earths Muslims, the Shia, the Sufi or the Ismaili) , a divine command that we can actively see being carried out all over the world, through both violent jihad and legal warfare (i.e using our tolerance against us)? Jihad was being waged against America long before America could have done anythign egregious to the Islamic world (other than not being Muslim, that is), look up the Barbary Wars. Never mind the fact that many of the alleged incidents of "Islamophobia" reported by such supremacist Jihad supporters as CAIR (who alone are almost solely responsible for the common belief in "Islamophobia) are often found to be hoaxes, perpetrated by Muslims themselves, either trying in insurance scams, or sometimes in outright attempts to trick the public into giving Muslims victim status! The fact is, according to FBI stats there are more hate crimes against every religious and racial group in the U.S annually, barring atheists and , than there are against Muslims (shit, 2/3's of religious hate crimes are against JEWS)

All in All, first poster, YOU ARE A COMPLETE AND UTTER BRAINWASHED MORON, it's people like you who have the blood of the modern jihad on their hands, you sick enabling dhimmis who sit back and defend the undefendable without even EDUCATING YOURSELF. it's like reviewing a book before you read it.

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM"

"Charles Lutz:

Another dumbass who doesn't know anything about historical context or exegesis. Let's put the old testament into context for you, since you clearly don't know what you are talking about (the barbarity of the catholic church, while inexcusable, is addressed in my previous post and COMPLETELY PALES in comparison to murderous history of Islam

Regarding the Old Testament, the genocidal tales told in the old testament are exactly that: TALES, not orders, not commands or instructions for the Hebrews to follow for all time, according to the bible different COVENANTS were revealed, and new covenants abrogated old ones (not to mention most of the genocidal shit happened BEFORE the Hebrews were handed law by YHWH, i.e THERE WAS NO SIN, and let me repeat again that this is all STORYTELLING, none of it is meant to be followed and that's clear when you read it). The whole point of the old testament was telling of the EVOLUTION of the Hebrew people, the repeated horrible thigns they did (i.e they are fallible people, unlike in Islam where a Muslim must always defend his Muslim brother no matter what he has done against a non-Muslim, because the non-Muslim is automatically guilty of unbelief and therefore the Muslim is automatically innocent regardless of what he does to the Kafir)

anyway you are a complete and utter nonce and you need to crawl back under the rock you came out from, maybe show your face again when you have actually READ A BOOK by someone other than Noam fucking Chomsky"
