Is Western Victimization the Root Cause of Islam’s Many Problems?

We recently looked at William Polk’s book, Crusade and Jihad: The Thousand-Year War between the Muslim World and the Global North. Although it’s a mighty tome containing some 550 pages and claims to cover “the thousand-year war between the Muslim World and the Global North,” most of the years between 634 (when Islam first invaded the West) to 1800 (when it went on the retreat) received only some 30 pages of coverage.

In other words, those many centuries which saw Muslims conquer most of Christendom’s original territory and invade more — with all the attendant massacres, enslavements, and destruction of churches — received a few sanitized pages, mostly alluding to how Islam “spread” through trade and the glories of al-Andalus.

No. What you see where Islam reigns is an outworking of their understanding of the world.

The teachings and the belief in Muhammad is the root cause of the Islamist problem!

Islam is the source of Islam’s problems.

No, it started 1500+ years ago with Mohamed and his war religion

A warring religion that allows men to have four wives must continue to conquer to have enough women to go around. That’s the formula. When they’re stopped from warring, pity the goats.

No, Islamists are instructed to kill the Infidel and install sharia law by the koran.

No.

Islam's problems stem from the fact that it is a fake religion based on cobbled-together concepts stolen from other religions which were twisted to condone actions and lifestyle of the sexually-perverted warlord who founded it.

Apparently the author of the propaganda book has not bothered to read a true translation of the Holy Koran.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.

These true translations need to be required reading in high school and college.

Every Bible thumping Christian needs to read it to understand the Muslim world.

IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955
