@ENDURANCELAND Wow, you are so ignorant. When the Roman Empire converted, they forced Christianity on their population, persecuting pagans, and spreading it, as they conquered. There were Northern crusades force converting Northern Europeans. Crusades weren't a defense. They were an offense. One of the deadliest wars in history, was Chinese Christians trying to force Christianity on the rest of China, led by Jesus's Chinese brother.
Muslims didn't tend to force convert the population, either, which is why the Spanish population was still almost all Christians, when it was reconquered. The Christians who reconquered it, on the other hand, offered the Muslim and Jewish population the options of conversion, exile, or death. Jews fled with Muslims to the Ottoman Empire, where they were safer.
Israel's colonization is also the ethnic cleansing kind, like in the Americas. Muslims typically used the standard conquer and rule method, rather than the remove and replace method. Most "Arabs" are linguistically Arab, and don't actually originate from Arabia. Palestinian "Arabs", for example, are most closely related, genetically, to other peoples of the Levant, including the Jewish population, than they are to Arabian Arabs. They're the same peoples who have been ruled over by pagans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and not colonizers from the Arabian peninsula. They simply converted at some point, along the way.
