re: #307 The Sanity Inspector
The overwhelming majority of Muslims do not obey the Koranic injunction to “make wide slaughter in the land”, for the same reason the overwhelming majority of Christians do not give away their possessions to the poor and become mendicant missionaries. It’s unnatural, and at odds with what people normally want to do with their lives. But the precepts are still there, and they are planted in the hearts of the respective religions’ adherents. And occasionally they are acted upon.
if you dig into the bible you’ll find plenty of “slay the unbelievers” stuff in Christianity too.
how else do you think they convinced thousands to join the Crusades?
