Q: “

If Muslims hate beer, bacon, bikinis, Christianity and freedom of speech so much, then I have one question for them… of the 56 Muslim countries they have as options, WHY on God’s beautiful green earth would they choose to come to America?

Answer: They want to conquer us.”

A: “

Good question. Christianity was good in its birth place, why it didn’t stay in its place of birth. Were there any noble reasons behind missionary s going all over the world or the reason was conquering the world… was it wrong or right?
Christians nuns preached nobility, covering body as depicted in pictures, against nudity, vulgarity etc.
Some times there are answers in questioning the questioner’s question” ….

• The post reframes the quoted tweet’s claim of Muslim “conquest” via immigration by questioning Christianity’s own global expansion, suggesting missionary work paralleled imperial ambitions rather than pure altruism.
• Christian missionaries from the 15th to 19th centuries often collaborated with European colonial powers, using evangelism to justify territorial control in regions like Africa and the Americas, per historical analyses from sources like Wikipedia and Oxford Research Encyclopedia.
• Surveys from Pew Research show Muslim U.S. immigrants cite economic opportunities, family ties, and escape from persecution as primary motivations, with 72% arriving since 1990 for non-ideological reasons, challenging narratives of intentional cultural takeover.

Early Spread (1st-4th Centuries AD)

Christianity originated in Judea around 30 AD and initially spread through the missionary efforts of Jesus’ apostles and disciples, such as Paul, who traveled across the Roman Empire preaching to both Jews and Gentiles. This was facilitated by word-of-mouth evangelism, social networks among early Christian communities, and the use of common languages like Greek. 0 The religion appealed to the marginalized, including slaves and women, due to its messages of equality and salvation. 1 During crises like plagues, Christians’ acts of charity helped attract converts. 1 By the 4th century, Emperor Constantine’s conversion in 312 AD and the Edict of Milan in 313 AD legalized Christianity, leading to its adoption as the Roman state religion under Theodosius in 380 AD, accelerating its dominance in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. 2

Medieval Expansion (5th-15th Centuries)

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Christianity spread northward through monastic movements and missionaries. Figures like St. Patrick evangelized Ireland in the 5th century, while others converted Germanic tribes. 0 To the east, it reached Armenia (first Christian kingdom in 301 AD), Ethiopia, and possibly India via trade routes and apostles like Thomas. 7 In the Byzantine Empire, it expanded into Slavic regions through missionaries like Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century. The Crusades (11th-13th centuries) had mixed effects, temporarily establishing outposts in the Holy Land but ultimately failing to expand permanently. 0 Compatibility with local pagan traditions, through syncretism (blending beliefs), aided integration in diverse cultures. 1

Colonial and Global Era (16th-19th Centuries)

European colonialism was a major driver, with Spanish and Portuguese explorers spreading Catholicism to the Americas, Africa, and Asia starting in the 15th century via conquest, forced conversions, and missions (e.g., Jesuits in Latin America and India). 6 Protestantism expanded through British, Dutch, and other empires, reaching North America, Australia, and parts of Africa. Trade networks, like the Silk Road, had earlier introduced it to China and Central Asia, but colonialism amplified this. 7 By the 19th century, missionary societies from Europe and the US targeted Africa and Asia, often alongside imperial ventures.

Modern Spread (20th Century-Present)

In the contemporary era, Christianity has grown through voluntary conversions, migration, and media. Evangelical movements, Pentecostalism, and charismatic churches have boomed in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia, driven by local leaders and global organizations. 2 Immigration has brought it to new regions, while digital tools, television evangelism (e.g., televangelists), and humanitarian aid have facilitated outreach. Today, Christianity is the world’s largest religion, with over 2 billion adherents, concentrated in the Americas (especially Latin America and the US), Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and growing in Asia, though declining in some Western countries. 0

Overall, the spread involved a mix of peaceful evangelism, state support, cultural adaptation, and coercive elements tied to empire-building, evolving from a small Jewish sect to a global faith over two millennia. 3
