Last time a Muslim country invaded a Christian country?

[A1Kaid]

Pakistanis, Turks, Chinese, all welcomed to participate.


So I'm trying to determine a definitive date for this inquiry. When was the last time a Muslim country invaded a Christian country? I do have several possibilities. The only restriction to this it has to be a formal invasion. Not border skirmish, tribal fight, etc.

Several possibilities

1. Turkish Liberation of Cyprus 1974
(Note although Cyprus isn't completely Christian it's something like approx. 55% Christian, 45% Muslim)

2. Indonesian Invasion of East Timor, Dec. 1975
(East Timor is predominantly Roman Catholic, I'm debating whether this invasion is significant or simply a minor invasion, but technically this could be the last one hence it's on the list.)

3. Armenia vs Azerbaijan - Nagorno-Karabakh War, Feb 1988, May 1994
(Not sure if this qualifies as a true invasion by Azerbaijan, but fighting broke out in Nagorno-Karabakh predominantly ethnic Armenian area? but also mixed with Azeris) In. 1992 full fledged war began. Operation Goranboy by Azerbaijan is considered successful, Azeris capture the Askeran region many towns and the largest town in the region.) Important to note ethnic enclaves exist throughout the mixed region.

4. Sudan attacks Southern Sudan, May 2011 (Predominantly Christian, two months prior to Independence?)
(I'm thinking this was doesn't really count, too many technical things wrong with this one for it to qualify.)

Going into this, my main choice is Turkish Liberation of Cyprus, 1974. Operation Atilla.

You are in deep trouble brother.

Just wait and watch what indians have to say.

None of these invasions are "Muslims" per say. these are politically motivated regional conflicts between rival power groups. Just pure power plays between them, nothing more. For ex Turkey's government had been more secular than even the western countries.

To suggest these are muslim invasions or conquests is a blatant lie and disinformation because there were no muslim people's mandate behind them.

After the first world war, the world clearly became a victim of wars by rival power hungry groups over real estate and resources.

You are such a ignoramus. What I asked when was the last time a Muslim country invaded a Christian country. I did not ask if this was an Islamic invasion, Islamic conquest, or the motive. Don't try an act like a smart guy by stating what is so obvious that there a political reasons for these wars and invasions.

First try to understand the question then answer it. By the way you still haven't answered the question. All the country has to be is predominantly Muslim which militarily invaded a predominantly Christian country and was the last one to do it.

Understand?

I can't understand how come you give religious color to this. But surely the 4th one of Sudan is based on religion.
1) Cyprus was Greek vs Turks issue and because of that there was no burning of Church and mosque.
2)People of Nagorno Karabh are ethnically Armenians who wanted to merge with Armenia but ethic Azeris want them to remain in Azerbaijan.
3) Indonesia is a secular state, so even here there is no issue of religion.

But in the case of Sudan, it was a religion inspired issue. The Sudanese government has religious militia who used to abduct South Sudanese and send them to special camps to convert them forcibly to Islam and Arabianized them.

Mr. Don Quixote, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Indonesia are Muslim majority country but are not Muslim country. Your post is an idiotic post.

History has been a witness that from the past two thousand years of the three great Abrahamic religions two of them have dominated ,conquered & ruled the world along with the middle kingdom (china, & Asia pacific area) known as the Confucian civilization which we must recognize & respect.
on topic 2 billion plus Christan's & 2 billion plus Muslims we as true to our traditional heritage of being the two pride of the monotheistic Abrahamic religions with political,economical,scientific,educational, military & civilizational power have rightfully ruled & dominated be it the Christan's or the Muslims like two siblings have had certain events like a chain of events in the annals of history of which we shared our respective glories, certain trends that has accrued in recent history are like in "Jerusalem" known as the "Battle of Hattin" headed by Guy of Lusignan representing the Christan's & Salahuddin Ayyubi representing the Muslims, Jerusalem was won by us & lost by them. Similarly Spain was won by them & lost by us, then there has been certain places which we both have conquered & ruled like first we then them eg: as is the case of India,central Asia,Africa so on & so forth, now seeing the trend from an historic & Geo-political point of view the economical turmoil of the west, the Mideast uprising, Russia & china's unease @ the western designs for the region & the oppressive & aggressive treatment along with the malicious interference in the Muslim world by the west has given me reasons to believe that an alliance of the Muslim world with china & Russia is in the making,so don't lose heart insha'Allah our time is coming along with the Chinese & the Russians i am hopeful that if we can pass through this present phrase of the last few years of the imperial west then there no stopping us. We are in fact @ the crossroads of history & a very important one i will say watch this space.

Bro there's nothing so called "muslim" about any of the invasions you listed above. The question is not even correct to begin with yet you expect us to answer or address it?

1. Write a list of things to do when you are bored.

Next time try to come up with something original than simply copy pasting

All the above is better than discussion of this thread.

Then don't troll in this thread. Try doing one of things found in that daily to-do list of yours

Does 9/11 count?

Does 9/11 count?

Does Al Qaeeda count as a country ?

Well it is directly related to your present strength, in past wars were fought with less technology and more personal skills and Muslim rulers were frequent invaders. In todays world none of them have the power to invade and hence they have accepted the reality.
