The people of The Bahamas aren't stupid, Kevin Evans. Why should they or anyone else stick their necks out for Trump? And why should they go along with your factually challenged assertions about Islam and Muslims? Because some Christian apologist like you insists?
You erroneously claim that Charles Martel saved "Western Civilization" from being Islamised. But you forgot to mention that he spent most of his time spreading Christianity by the sword. Between 718 and 723, he subjugated Bavaria and Alemannia. In 734, he slew a duke who had expelled Christian missionaries, destroyed every pagan shrine, forced pagan Saxons to convert to Christianity, and murdered those who wouldn't in what became known as the Massacre of Verden.
You dishonestly claim that the specific allusions in 9:5 and 61:4 to past conflicts are actually general exhortations to future conflicts. You interpolate the word "non-Muslims" in parentheses of 9:5 because it doesn't exist in the Arabic text. And you pretend that these verses, even when taken out of context, are any more violent than New Testament verses like Matthew 10:34 and Luke 12:51, where Jesus said he came not to bring peace but a sword, or Matthew 26:51 and Mark 14:47 and John 18:10 where one of his disciples cuts off an ear, or Luke 19:27 where Jesus says that those who do not accept him should be brought before him and killed. And that's just in the New Testament. . . don't even get me started on the Old Testament!
You say the human rights organizations should take note of 4:34, which you falsely claim gives permission for Muslim men to beat their wives. But having witnessed your dishonesty related to 9:5 and 61:4, why would anyone trust your claims regarding 4:34? Perhaps human rights organizations should look into the Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD) movement instead. Its an Evangelical Christian movement which claims scriptural justification for beating disobedient wives.
You misleadingly say that 3:106-107 assigns people to heaven or hell based on skin color. But, again, having witnessed your dishonesty related to 9:5 and 61:4 and 4:34, why would anyone trust your claims regarding 3:106-107? In reality, 3:106-107 uses figurative language. It's describing the countenance of their faces, not the color of their skin, similar to the "dark" countenance on the face of misogynistic Arabs when they give birth to a girl in 16:58-59.
And last but not least, you insult people's intelligence by feigning concern over slavery, knowing full well that many people reading this are the descendants of enslaved Africans dragged over here by Christians like you using New Testament verses like Ephesians 6:5-8, 1 Timothy 6:1-2, Titus 2:9-10, and 1 Peter 2:18 as justification. And that's just the New Testament. . . don't even get me started on the Old Testament!
