Christians can't go back in time and fix our mistakes. This doesn't absolve Islam from being hijacked and used for the purposes it is.

And guess what? Christianity got out of the dark ages when it was determined that such behavior was wrong.

Hispañola's population was wiped out due to European disease and enslavement; don't blame Roman Catholicism, and especially Christianity for that one. Furthermore, it should be noted that the most prominent forced conversions to Christianity were by the Spanish and Portugeuse in the New World.

The Spanish and the Portugeuse.....hmmmm, wasn't Iberia under Muslim control for around half a millennium? (rhetorical). Maybe some Islamic tendencies rubbed off on them.

Back to the main topic, not all Muslims are any more of a threat to this country than any other American. The September 11th people were neither Americans nor immigrants, but rather people who overstayed their visas.

It was SPAIN that did that, ie the Spaniards. That is why the Mexican People speak Spanish and not English.
