The historical evidence shows nothing of the kind. To the contrary it is these islamic people who have been expansionist for hundreds of years attacking and invading Russia more recently, and China.
They follow the precepts of the cult book, motivated by hate and Islamic fervor. They are historically the first aggressive Al Quaeda having caused untold death and destruction over the last 1000 years. This latest “movement” is but the latest in a long line of expanionistic moves, terror which the peoples in Eurasia/Asia have not forgotten.
They must be detroyed not coddled like the west is doing.
Let’s talk about Russia. Modern Russia was formed by expansionist steam-rollering of dozens of non-Russian nationalities. In the face of that, Islam sounds like a good way to gather allies and build opposition to the empire.
Let’s talk about China. The Uyghur territory in China is not Chinese; has no reason to be Chinese. In the face of that, Islam sounds like a good way to gather allies and build opposition to the empire.
Islam’s expansion against neighbors who do not seek to attack Islam is something different.
So the question is, “Is Islam so virulent and unacceptable that we must oppose it, even when it serves a defensive purpose?”
