Oh man....I'm getting dragged into this again. Let me explain.
Since the 7th century muslims have been expanding their power, off and on, through invasion, slaughter and/or conversion. Countries like Egypt, Iran, etc were not muslim countries as they are now and had large Christian populations.
The first Crusades were to free Christians from muslims who invaded the Holy Land. Remember, that area of the world is the birthplace of Christianity.
Muslims took Spain for 900 years. Only the Pyrenees kept them from France. Spain kicked them out in 1492.
In the mid 1600's muslims were at the Gates of Vienna and eventually driven back by a Polish General and his forces.
The centuries are rife with other examples of muslim expansionism through invasion. You do the research.
THE BEHAVIOR IS THE SAME. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IS THE TECHNOLOGY.
This situation the world is in now is nothing new. It may be new here in the US but it's happened countless times in history throughout the world.
We are not in some little skirmish over
oil, territory or power. This is bigger and much, much more dangerous.
