Rome collapsed by AD 450, long before this, and even Christendom (lands in the former Roman Empire) was breaking up, by doctrinal schism of Donatists (a very strict sect primarily in the Middle East and Africa which denied the legitimacy of other parts of the church) Arians (overcome from controlling Roman Catholicism, but still around, especially in central Europe) and the Bizintine/Eastern Orthodox churches (widdening their cultural/lingual differences from the Roman (Catholic) West) as well as the various un-unified tribes and such that controlled the former Empire made the Palestine, Egypt and Northern Africa—cultural centers in late Rome—but now ill-defended outposts, easy pickings by the AD 635+ Moslem armies.
There’s no need to point to some drastic climate change to blame civilization’s change from monolithic (& very exploitive) Rome, to the feudal Middle Ages.
FYI
Good post. When will those against the war wake up?
Terrorism is a tactic of gorilla warfare and we need to understand that. We are not at war with a tactic but with the military arm of Islam.
and historically, from Mohammad forward, the “military arm of Islam” IS Islam.
The use of force for religious gain, is, was, and always will be part-and-parcel with Islam.
We'd better hold-on, the future's looking kinda bumpy.
Yes it’s the way it always has been and always will be.
It’s a shame their leaders refuse to lead by example and blow themselves up. No they send out the sheep and hide in caves but, that to is the way of Mohammad.
If one really wants to know the truth about Muhammed, the best writeups in book form is the book that founder of Jihadwatch.org, Robert Spencer, has writen and had put out about the founder of what the front cover says, “the most intolerant religion”. BTW, Mr. Spencer has a new book out about Christanity being the real religion of peace.
The appropriate investigator of Muhammad would be Chris Jansen of Dateline, along with Perverted Justice.
No thanks. I learned all I needed to know about islam on September 11, 2001.
FOr there is ONE name given under heaven by which you must be saved...that, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God.
“For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
For the penalty of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
And Finally, Jesus said, “I AM the way, the truth, and the life...no man comes to the father except through me.”
Amen to that! :)
That infamous day is when I began to learn about Islam.
We can’t defend ourselves from Islam until we stop treating it as a religion and start treating it as a hostile ideology—imagine fighting WW2 while trying to respect Nazism as a religion!
Islam IS terrorism, the stoning of women, and the blowing up of Buddhist statues.
