Where did Judaism spread in the beginning?
Judaism did not spread through proselytization for the majority of its existence and therefore spread only within families and communities of Hebrews, Israelites, or Judeans (the same people at different times).
What does Muslims tolerating Jews and Christians mean?
The Islamic notion of toleration for other religions is very different in Muslim-majority countries than it is in the West, namely that toleration in Islam is seen as an Islamic gift to others and Islam remains in charge whereas in the West toleration is based on the fact that no religion has the high-ground. Proselytization of non-Islamic faiths is prohibited in most Muslim countries whereas Proselytization of non-Christian faiths is permitted in most Western countries. Mosques can be built without issue in most Muslim countries, but existing churches and synagogues cannot even be repaired without executive decrees. Historically, there were special taxes that were only applied to Non-Muslims to remind them of their inferior status.
Why didn't Islam spread throughout more of Europe?
Answer 1Because there was a ruler that wanted that land and that ruler almost defeated him once.Answer 2Prior to the 20th century, most Europeans were pious Christians and many states had strict laws against the proselytization of Islam within their borders. Therefore, Islam only spread in areas that Muslims had conquered and controlled for centuries.
What does enthusiastic evangelism and proselytizing mean?
Trying very very hard to get someone who doesn't belong to your church to join it, probably to the point of being obnoxious. The verb "proselytize" applies to anyone of any religious faith who tries actively to persuade another person to his or her beliefs. "Evangelism" on the other hand only applies to Christian proselytization (It comes from "evangel", a synonym for "gospel", the story of Jesus).

Prior to this, selling a Bible to a Muslim in the Ottoman Empire could be prosecuted as attempted proselytization. (Whether or not it actually would be depended with the times.)
What happened to missionaries later?
Many missionaries faced various challenges and changes over the years, including shifts in religious influence, societal attitudes, and geopolitical landscapes. Some adapted their approaches to focus on social justice, education, and healthcare, aligning with local needs. Others encountered resistance or hostility in regions with different beliefs or political climates. Ultimately, the legacy of missionaries is diverse, with impacts ranging from cultural exchange to controversy over colonialism and proselytization.
Are there any Christian missionaries in Syria today?
There probably are a few Christian missionaries, but the Syrian Civil War is hindering their access to the population and large swathes of Syria are under control of ISIL which imposes Shari'a Law and murders missionaries. Historically, Syria was a Secular country with a Pro-Muslim bent. Missionaries would be heckled and possibly physically attacked. Additionally, proselytization of Muslims (to convert them to another religion like Christianity) was illegal and could lead to the imprisonment or deportation of foreign missionaries.
What do the Muslims control that the Christians want?
Answer 1The Holy LandAnswer 2While Answer 1 may have been correct 800-1000 years ago, it is no longer correct. This is especially true since Israel (a Jewish State) controls much of the Holy Land. There is no specific piece of land that Christians want that Muslims have. Christians want Islamic Countries to legalize proselytization of non-Islamic faiths and equalize the treatment of non-Muslims. This is what the Muslims control that Christians would like the power to reverse.
What ceremonies do people have to do to become a Jew?
In order for a person to convert to Judaism, a person needs to undergo a formal conversion solicited by the convert-to-be (as proselytization is forbidden). The process of conversion can take from 1 to 6 years of study with a rabbi or other Jewish scholar to learn the faith. He must then go before the Beit Din (Jewish religious court), going to mikvah (a ritual bath for spiritual purification), and circumcision for men. Once someone converts they are AS Jewish as anyone born to a Jewish mother.
What are three characteristics of an ethnic religion?
Ethnic religions are typically closely tied to a specific cultural or ethnic group, often reflecting the traditions, customs, and historical experiences of that group. They usually have a strong focus on community and ancestral heritage, with practices and beliefs passed down through generations rather than through proselytization. Additionally, ethnic religions often emphasize a deep connection to a particular geographical area, incorporating local landscapes and natural features into their spiritual practices and beliefs.
