Sadly, we have nests of carefully tended crows in all Western nations, including the US. And they're not just mad about something 600-800 years ago; Islam has been violent since its very beginnings, which would be about 1300 years ago. It just took it awhile to bring that violence out of the ME and into Europe.

MHO.
