The 630 Year-Old Reason Eastern Europeans Dislike Islam

Why Eastern Europeans are much more reluctant to accept Muslim migrants than their Western counterparts can be traced back to circumstances surrounding a pivotal battle, that of Kosovo, which took place today, June 15, exactly 630 years ago today in 1389. It pitted Muslim invaders against Eastern European defenders, or the ancestors of those many Eastern Europeans today who are resistant to Islam.

Because the jihad is as old as Islam, it has been championed by diverse peoples throughout the centuries — Arabs in the Middle East, Moors (Berbers and Africans) in Spain and Western Europe, etc. Islam's successful entry into Eastern Europe was spearheaded by the Turks, specifically that tribe centered in westernmost Anatolia (or Asia Minor) and thus nearest to Europe, the Ottoman Turks, so-named after their founder, Osman Bey. As he lay dying in 1323, his parting words to his son and successor, Orhan, were for him "to propagate Islam by your arms."

Butt, butt, butt............. A hug and a job will settle everything down. Religion of pieces.

This is the reason Europe will always be mired in backwardness. Despising anyone because of something someone dad 630 years ago is stupid. And news flash, eastern Europeans from 630 years ago were not much more civilized.

Europeans are famous for nursing wounds from hundreds of years ago and pretending like it was yesterday. Petty and ignorant.

A rational person dislikes Islam because of the way they act right now and in the last few decades. That alone is a treasure trove of reasons. Europeans are generally morons.

You miss the point. Muslims are still invading Europe. Only today they carry smart phones and ask for asylum instead of carrying swords.

Exactly right.

Fear not,boys and girls...just as the European Union has reduced the once proud nation of Ireland to just another tawdry little European cesspool they're working on doing the same with Poland and Hungary...and one or two others.

My money's on the Stasi loving pigs in Brussels succeeding.

And then there'll be a mosque on every street corner of Warsaw and Budapest.

A rational person dislikes Islam because of the way they act right now and in the last few decades.

And a person who knows basic history knows that Islam's behavior toward other civilizations has changed very little since its beginning. Only their ability to create havoc and force themselves on others has diminished since WWI.

The intent is still the same and now they rely upon immigration, terrorism and the womb to advance their cause.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The Armenians would tell you why Islam isn’t so wonderful, but most of them are dead now.

[NewJerseyJoe]

>> A rational person dislikes Islam because of the way they act right now

This is the flaw in your premise. The way Islam acts right now is the same way it acted 630 years ago and 1300 years ago. Nothing has changed except the advancement of technology that makes their "job" easier to carry out.

[Nateman]

Islam is evil, it’s easy to hate once you get past all of its lies. By the way why don’t we hear about people who are Christophobic? We know plenty are out there.

[rktman]

There were a bunch of them still kicking when Mrs. rktman went to Armenia not long after the soviet collapse to try to teach a little capitalism. Yeah, they don’t care much for the turks.

[Taxman]

Just so!

2019 - 622 = 1397 years of Islamic terror on the rest of the world!

[Biggirl]

Really?............Nah!

[thecodont]

Same thing with the illegals here in America.

[mjp]

Despising anyone because of something someone dad 630 years ago is stupid.

It is appropriate and useful to study the past to learn from one's mistakes.

[Gay State Conservative]

Really?............Nah!

As proof I give you Ireland.

[Parmy]

A good example is the videos of celebrations across all of the Islamic populations when 911 occurred.

[TexasTransplant]

Didn’t take me 630 years

[apocalypto]

bump

[Biggirl]

Ireland has been going really liberal for though.
