I think he means the willful attempt that the Islamic and Christian faiths made at conversion (more heavily a tradition of the christian faith). In their attempt to spread their message around the world the Christian religion saw to it that many foreign traditions and customs were suppressed and fashioned as savage cultures. The Christians even slaughtered those who opposed their idealogies.

Im not a Christian in the devout sense of the religion but I know of the Crusades, the Inquisition and the Church endorsed colonization of foreign lands- thats certainly enough to deem them oppressive.
