"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Oh, and he definitely had PLENTY of chemical and bioweapons. And plenty of time to get rid of them before we got there.
