Christians & Jews in Medina as well as the worshipers of the Kaaba in Mecca were the first of Mohammad's conquests, after that all Christian, Jewish tribes from the Arabian peninsula to Assyria and eventually the Zoroastrian tribes were either forced to convert or be exterminated (but then that's a redundant statement, ain't it).

An epileptic pariah passed on his heretical musings to his minions; probably not the first case of transmittable fanaticism but the most enduring and one that's been the most difficult to remedy. The People of the Book have tried but the followers of the Prophet can't read.

Maybe an almost “a redundant statement”. Though, noteworthy.

Those Zoroastrians, were not simply a “tribe”. Zoroastrians *firmly* held a very notable & powerful country (Iran) for many many centuries prior to Islam & even before Christ was born & Christianity as well. Judaism, also, was mainly a faith, but held no significant power in land, for all those times.

Islam is & has been after “Land” & more importantly “Power” that flows from it — it uses its ideology/doctrine (we also call it ‘religion) to do so. Very similar to Communism or Socialism of USSR.

So now, they are after those “Lands” (countries) that are traditionally & currently known as “Christian”.

Yes, though, they are equally, if not more, brainwashed in their beliefs of “the Prophet” & Islam. Both of which have continued to be portrayed in positive light, by moslems & their clerics in the West & East. And, we in the west keep facilitating & supporting them.
