If you don’t believe people like myself who constantly talk about how Muslims are not here to assimilate, but rather dominate, maybe you will start to take our argument a little more seriously in time.
Here’s some good or bad news, depending on how you feel about the matter … Muhammad just made the list, for the first time, of popular baby names in the United States.

Ban Islam...Save America!!!
I wonder if they have another showing Obama as the best president of all time.
You nailed it. I can’t believe how easily some are snowed.
“There was one major problem with the Crusades.”
I’d say there were other problems too....like literally destroying every Jewish community on the way.
Well DUH! The birthrate among muslims is probably the highest of any group in the Country. And as more arrive, and other groups consider children less attractive than dogs or cats, the gap will only widen, and the name Mohammed will continue to climb in statistical popularity.
bammy is ecstatic.
We have not played cowboys and muslims yet.
Mohammed does not appear at all on the actual top 10 list of actual babies born. The real list is compiled by the Social Security Administration from birth records. If you scroll down on the SSA website and use their utility to look at the top 1000 male baby names for 2018 (the last year with complete data), Mohammad (most popular spelling) comes in at number 605.
It pays to check your data sources. Nice clickbait headline, though.
Millions of muslims do not agree with violent jihad: true.
but every sunni and shia muslim, unless they are apostate, believes that all governments must come under sharia law.
That makes all sunni and shia (which is 90+%) the enemies of all other cultures on the planet. So whether or not they agree with violent jihad is irrelevant.
The Crusader massacres of Jews (and Christians and Muslim civilians) was unjustified.
This also was strategically a sapping of resources.
However you bringing it up indicates that you may see it only from the victim mentality and not looking at what happened prior.
In the first Crusade Jews aided the Muslims against the Christians. Haifa was Jewish controlled and fought off the Christians.
This anti-Jewry also had its roots in the fact that Jews aided Muslims in taking over Jerusalem, Syria, North Africa and Spain. This is because the Jews saw the monotheistic Muslims (and Islam had not yet been clearly defined in the first 150 years of Arab empire) as ideologically closer to them. Note also that the Copts and some Syriacs also did support the Muslims as they were Semitic speakers. But that was in Egypt.
In the first Crusade - During this time, a full thousand years after the fall of the Jewish state, there were Jewish communities all over the country. Fifty of them are known and include Jerusalem, Tiberias, Ramleh, Ashkelon, Caesarea.
Jews fought side-by-side with Muslim soldiers to defend Jerusalem against the Crusaders.
AND, you forget Christians stood up and attempted to protect the neighboring Jews. In the German city of Trier, the local bishop attempted to protect the Jews —> reference Jonathan M. Elukin, Living Together, Living Apart: Rethinking Jewish-Christian Relations in the Middle Ages (Princeton, NJ: Princeton UP, 2007),
Other German cities had similar experiences, with some towns such as Mainz having the local burghers fight against the incoming crusaders.
Another German town, Cologne, hid all the local Jews among their Christian neighbors during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, spending the remainder of the holiday with the Christian acquaintances.
