Much of these resources are simply from history books. There is a great piece that can be found on Google called "What Arab Civilization?" from Peter BetBasoo, in response to a Hewlett Packard reps praise of Islam. It goes into some great detail on Islam's aggression and dispells the myth of an Islamic "Golden Age."

A further search directly on "Islamic conquests or imperialism" and the "History of Islam" reveals a lot of information. Even my Comptons Computer Encyclopedia had great info and timelines on Islam. The internets "CIA Factbook" is also loaded with info when you look for specific countries and their origins.

A well-kept secret is the original edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. I was fortunate enough to buy one during the brief period when a replica was for sale, and I love it. It is among my most treasured books.

Its entry on mahometanism is extensive, candid, derisive and so Un-PC that I am surprised that the ROP has not bought up every existing copy and ripped them to shreds. Not flattering is any way whatsoever.

One of these days I will transcribe and post it. Originally published in 1762, if memory serves me right.
