They crossed the Pyrenees into France and were checked at the Battle of Tours in 732 “What life actually looked like for Christians living under this expanding rule of Islam is something that tends to get neglected. The system governing Christian life across the conquered territories was called the dhimma, which was a legal framework that essentially classified non-Muslims as second-class citizens, and they were subjected to extreme violence if they resisted” “The jizya, which was a sort of poll tax payable specifically by non-Muslims, Muslims as a mark of subordinate status, was levied across the conquered territories. Now, what happened if you couldn't pay it? — they forced the Christians to hand over their wives and children as slaves to the Arab army as part of tax payment” “The slave raiding of Christian populations in Spain and North Africa would continue for centuries” Prominent Christians documented countless beheadings for the crime of saying refusing to convert to Islam Bill Warner from the Center for the Study of Political Islam cites an estimate for the amount of people Muslims killed: - 60 million Christians - 80 million Hindus - 10 million Buddhists - 120 million Africans List of Christian territories brutally taken over be Muslims: - Syria - Palestine - Lebanon - Jordan - Iraq - Egypt - Libya - Tunisia - Algeria - Morocco
