I don't understand why you think you're making a meaningful point when you mention the Islamic Golden Age. It has nothing to do with anything and refutes nothing that's been claimed. That's why I don't respond to it - it is of no relevance.
Here's a novel, ground-breaking, atom-splitting idea: Maybe STFU until you do understand? I mean that in the nice way.
Remember, you're a sincere intellectual engaging in honest debate, right?
Every other post of yours goes from the specific idea/point being discussed to the general propaganda of ticking off every anti-Islam box in record time.
Let's look:

Islam is a religion of subjugation of all other religions - in fact the Koran exhorts just that:
Basically, non-Muslims have to humbly pay a "tribute" (aka extortion) to their Muslim overlords, or face unending violence. The history of Islam is exactly this. Even the US paid the Jizya to Muslims until the slave-capturing got so unbearable, and reasonable attempts at peace with Muslim barbarians failed so many times, that they invaded with the gunboats into Muslim lands and subdued the barbarian Muslims. This is all laid out quite nicely here. In fact France's troubles with Muslims today can be traced to France's attempts to stamp out child-sex-slave raids in Europe and general piracy coming from the Algeria region, when the Muslims failed to desist in taking slaves despite repeated overtures over decades. This led to forced colonization to quell the practice, and reverse immigration. The descendants of these same people now run children over with trucks in the name of Islam. Times change, but Islam doesn't.
Islam is a sick cult of violence and forced submission - both of women and of non-Muslims. That they distinguish between "non-Muslims likely to convert" and "non-Muslims not likely to convert" means absolutely nothing. I'm not sure why you think it does...
If I'm talking about the Quranic theory of the zakat and the jizya, and the practical application in the early centuries, why on earth would you bring up the Barbary Pirate Slavers of
1000 years later?
And on top of that
devote over 1/2 the post to this non-sequitur?
With any other topic that would be truly beyond bizarre, but Islamophobia is normalized.
