Sweden Has Banned the Concept of Islamophobia

Sam Harris, says the same thing because while Jesus taught peace, Mohamed was a military leader and a statesmen,  who took slaves, multiple wives (some were children) beheaded people, etc. So Muslims countries have better justifications for merging church and state and to spread their religion. Judaism for example makes it very hard to join and that's why there is relatively so few Jews in the world. 

I thought this was an interesting distinction between these major religions of the world that might indeed help explain some of the actions of the followers.

Actually while Christianity and the New Testament and especially the OT encourage slavery, Islam is the first religion that abandons it.

Slavery was a very common barbaric practice and the Quran clearly abolished it and says its an entry to heaven to free your slaves. Being a military leader and killing people was not because Mohammed was a bloodthirst person, but because the first Muslims got heavily and barbarically persecuted by the pagans who worshipped statues as God and refused the concept of God as the eternal, and infinite oneness of existence.

They saw the practices of their forefathers in danger which brought them heavy financial benefits through selling Idolatry like statues and pictures. 

It was a time where people were utmost barbarics, killed each other for tribal dominance, blinded each other  taking their eyes out and enslaved their enemies.

Mohammed had no other option than to lead wars not because of fun but because of desperate persecution. You can not deal with those types of people by cuddling them. It would be better to study Islam and its historic context rather than cherrypicking certain verses without knowing their context

Can you explain how Mohammed married a 6 year old and had sex with her at 9 and how that is used to justify child marriage to this day?

While Christianity isn't perfect Muslim countries abolished slavery much more recently than Christian countries. 

Early Christians were also prosecuted and lived in barbaric tribes. Mohamed could have practiced non-resistance like Jesus and Ghandi and just accepted death/martyrdom like what Christianity.
