Islamic colonization?

And again, when you talk about colonization and the difference between what happened with the spread of Islam, and the spread of Western colonization, if you wanna compare the spread of Islam to your form of colonization, then logically speaking, when the Westerners came and colonized the Muslim lands, well, the Muslims would have rushed to abandon Islam. It would have been their chance to revive their, pre Islamic cultures, when the Westerners came. But who did that? Nobody did that. They stuck to their religion.

Islam was an empire of faith. It had nothing to do with, trying to enforce a a culture on people or to exploit the resources of this or that country. No. These were people who accepted Islam because they believed in it, and they kept on believing in it. And in fact, it was Islam itself and their belief in Islam that usually fueled their anti colonialism when the Westerners came.
