After reading this, so am I, but with somewhat different meaning.
there are good muslims?
I can’t see how it could work.
Us and them?
The spirit of Hitler is alive and well and living in the Muslim Nation. “Heil Allah!” should be their death chant.
You mean 7th century.
Actually in the 6th century, a lot of Arabs were Christians, and others were Jews. Ethiopia had to conqueror Yemen to stop the Jewish Arabs from persecuting the Christian Arabs.
Of course a lot of Arabs were pagans.
As for the rest of the current Muslim world: Persia was Zoarastrian, most of central Asia was Buddhist, as was Afghanistan, or Nestorian Christian, as was Iraq, while Pakistan, Indonesia and the Muslim regions of southeast Asia were Hindu with Buddhist minorities.
Islam on balance seems to have been an improvement on Arab paganism, and maybe a wash in comparison to the cult of Kali among the Hindus, but was a definite step backwards everywhere else it spread.
no. this is a good start.

I just read “Infidel” by Anyaa Ali Hirsi. She WAS Muslim, and goes to length about how western cultures in the name of respect and multicultualism are turning a blind eye to abuse, murder and lack of integration among the muslims in Europe. I couldn’t put the book down. It was excellent.
I did a little research today to find the exact words for a dimly remembered Arabic proverb. The proverb provides a hierarchy of violence. It turns out that it has many forms, including this one:
“I against my brother; I and my brother against my cousin; I and my cousin against the stranger”.
I also ran across this:
The Angel of the Lord told Hagar of her son, Ishmael (father of the Arabs), “He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers”.
The years pass, but it seems some things never change.
The radical loser (Long Read)

Contrary to what the West appears to believe, the destructive energy of Islamist actions is directed mainly against Muslims. This is not a tactical error, not a case of “collateral damage”. In Algeria alone, Islamist terror has cost the lives of at least 50,000 fellow Algerians. Other sources speak of as many as 150,000 murders, although the military and the secret services were also involved. In Iraq and Afghanistan, too, the number of Muslim victims far outstrips the death toll among foreigners. Furthermore, terrorism has been highly detrimental not only to the image of Islam but also to the living conditions of Muslims around the world.
The Islamists are as unconcerned about this as the Nazis were about the downfall of Germany. As the avant-garde of death, they have no regard for the lives of their fellow believers. In the eyes of the Islamists, the fact that most Muslims have no desire to blow themselves and others sky high only goes to show that they deserve no better than to be liquidated themselves. After all, the aim of the radical loser is to make as many other people into losers as possible. As the Islamists see it, the fact that they are in the minority can only be because they are the chosen few.

As a guy I worked with once told me, Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
I thought ALL Muslims were “bad”.
But Christians are just as bad. *eyeroll*
