Christians and Mongols did the same thing - not because they were Christians or Mongols, but because someone in charge wanted more power, and they used being Christian or Mongol to aid themselves to that end. Most Muslims are just like us, and want nothing to do with running empires or anything like that. Don't allow the handful of Muslim crackpots to speak for the whole. That would be like saying that all of the US troops in Iraq are evil simply because a handful of them are. And, No Bernie, I do not think all of them are evil, but unlike you, I am not willing to ignore the ones who are.
