Oh I see. Caligula and the rest of those would-be 'gods' were not a disaster for the Roman Empire and Europe, Christiandom was a disaster for Europe.

I sense a propblem of the will here, not the intellect. No one smart enough to use a computer could possibly make the statement you made unless a willful blindness is throughly in place.

The Roman Empire was falling from its own corruption, as all power tends to do. Only because of the saving work of Jesus Christ on its citizens could a handful of nations rise from the ashes of the Roman Empire to rule the rest of the world for about two centuries. Without that spiritual capital, the nations of western Europe would not have been exalted over other nations of the world.

As the light of Christiandom faded from those shores, it burned more brightly in American and we had "the American Century". If you want to know what nations will be the greatest nations on Earth a generation from now, look on the nations where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ascendant. This is the lesson of History since the reformation.

No religion with a doctrinal God that orders and rewards murder of innocents and suicide martyrdom is to be respected, understood or tolerated as valid.

That rabid sect needs to be neutralized without hesitation. Our civilization must be defended and preserved at any cost. We're better.

We'll see what happens. Militant Islam doesn't play any more. They have no case for violent ambush of Americans. Shoot the rabid dog stalking your family before he bites.
