Islam looks at people like you as court jesters. Buffoons who are too "clever" to declare their self interests. Only a fool acts as though he has no dog in this fight of Islam vs the West.
"Islam looks at people like you as court jesters."
Says the guy who's entertained me in this very thread!
History looks at people like you as ostriches, for keeping one's head in the sand, rather than face fact. Facing historical fact does NOT invalidate what's going on today.
Fact: I hate Islime. Christianity may have its problems but, with the exception of N. Ireland and a few nutcases like Eric Rudolph, Christianity doesn't preach killing of others. Islime is still 1000 years behind Fred Flintstone, much less the West. It's not coincidental that the greatest Mooslime contribution to the West is the number 0. It's very fitting.
STILL, none of this erases the atrocities both sides were guilty of in the Crusades, which were resounding military failures for Christianity (except for the 1st one). Why are you in denial over something that happened 1000 years ago?
