        @zuber_atheist if you read it in Arabic, the end of the verse almost translates to the following: "and indeed, we shall expand"

        @zuber_atheist @MrRoyalestCrown Christian, Muslim "mission" to this day requires: Convert OR kill heathens. It's simple. Now is what counts

        @bollbar @zuber_atheist No no no no! Killing a "heathen" is only allowed when your life is in danger or they pick up arms against you.
