In contrast, Muslims who slashed and burned and forced conversions did not wander off from the origins of Islam, but followed it closely. It is a plain and unpleasant historical fact that in the ten years that Muhammad lived in Medina (622-632), he either sent out or went out on seventy-four raids, expeditions, or full-scale wars, which range from small assassination hit squads to the Tabuk Crusade, described above (see 630). Sometimes the expeditions did not result in violence, but a Muslim army always lurked in the background. Muhammad could exact a terrible vengeance on an individual or tribe that double-crossed him. These ten years did not know long stretches of peace.

Some will choose to make peace with the barbarians at the gate. I choose to be called the bigot and Islamophobe, xenophobe, and hegemonist. Tough t!tt!e said the k!tt!e, but the mitten fits fine.

I am with you. I gladly share the supposed derogatory terms in this instance.
I'll keep repeating it- tho the Muslim defenders never speak to it- Why are Muslims the ONLY people we do not hold to the professed, well-established and very public tenets of their their 'religion'? We hold every other faith- and even cults- to their own doctrines and manifestos; but damned if some aren't bound and determined to divorce the Koran carrying Muslim from the Koran itself!!
