And one happens significantly more frequently than the other. can you guess which one?
Isn't that a bit like being asked to pick whether rape with arm-twisting is more frequent than rape with punching? Or decide whether tit-squeezing is worse than pussy-grabbing based on numbers? Will there be a Follow-up?
Both happen to be much more prevalent than hate against other religions. They are the #1 and #2 most victimized by religious hate crime, who cares about the order of 1 and 2?
You got that right, most of the anti Israel posts here are fueled by antisemitism. Zionist is the code word for Jew or Jews.
Christianity is far and away the most popular religion in Canada and Western Europe in terms of numbers. The term 'Islamic' countries suggest it isn't so popular there; for some reason it never seemed to catch on where it was born. And the viciousness of the later Crusader invasions didn't increase its appeal for the locals.
Muslim conquerors forced the locals to convert Islam or be killed. Many countries were happily non-Muslim before they were conquered by Muslims. Take Iran as an example. Great non-Muslim civilization until the Persians were conquered by Arab Muslims.
Your example would be somewhat more persuasive if Iran wasn't so clearly committed to Islam now. Religions come and go and always have. European Christians have certainly done their share of converting by bloodshed. And those folks who haven't switched allegiance to some new invisible —or visible — being or beings are mostly contentedly Jesus worshippers now. Which is not to say Zoroastrians were ever actually exterminated in Iran, or Albigensians in Provence.
