"...peaceful, educated, and truly lovely Muslims who are very friendly and graciously kindhearted..."


I was comically making fun of Jay Hemmings and his seemingly glowing fondness for Muslims.

Having read the article, and looking at the others he posts on "War History Online", e.g.,

Articles by Jay Hemmings

...I fail to detect a "glowing fondness for Muslims". In fact, I didn't see any other articles of his which even touch upon Islam or Muslims. Quite the contrary, they are all about military history of one era or another.

How one can infer from an article on the military genius of Möngke Khan a "glowing fondness for Muslims" is beyond me.

That fawning article made ancient Islam seem like the greatest thing in the world ever since sliced bread.
To my mind the only thing beneficial that Muslims promote in our society is perhaps hummus. That’s about it.

Highly recommend Dan Carlin’s 4-5 podcast episodes. It was called “Wrath of Khans”. Name of his podcast is “Hardcore History”. Utterly fascinating. Twice Western Civ was almost wiped out. An expeditionary force of Mongols ventured into Europe and wiped out Hungarian and papal forces shortly after fall of Baghdad. The forces were recalled because the Khan died and never made it back since they mainly focused on China

When you are killing feral pigs, you kill the piglets too. Feral piglets grow into feral hogs.

If these children had been trained in anything Islamic, then for the safety of all, they needed to be destroyed. Look at the ages of the suicide bomber trainees in the middle east today. 5, 6, 7 are being taught how to kill.

Islam is a death cult that destroys everything it touches, including its own children, and complete eradication of it is the only sane solution.

(Please note that if the children are young enough to be innocent then they go to heaven anyway. If they are already Islamic then they are already terrorists.)

(and you misspelled “moslem”)

Sorry. missed this.

By definition a moslem is a terrorist. I’ve read their scriptures. They are COMMANDED to commit terrorism. They are either active terrorists or sleeper terrorists. Their scriptures leave no other option.

That's not terribly Christian. I don't care to argue with you on the point. But we can agree to disagree.

Muslims Are Converting to Christianity in Record Numbers

Have a blessed day!
