When they taught us Islam in school, in a Muslim country, the teachers were not embarrassed. They were very proud of it.
They taught how Islam invaded other lands, defeated them, and converted them under the sword. They did not hide it. They celebrated it. They called it “futuhat” which means “openings.” Those countries were “closed.” Muslims “opened” them with the blade.
Fath al-Andalus (Spain). Fath Misr (Egypt). Fath North Africa. Fath al-Maghrib al-Aqsa (Morocco). All of it: conquest. All of it: taught as glory.
Now they sell the West a different product: “Islam did not spread by the sword.”
That is not history. That is a sales pitch for people who never sat in those classrooms.
