Yet no one wants to address Tamerlane and the spirit of Islamic conquest. Tamer lane hauled tonnes of gold as booty.
Let’s talk about the largest imperialist military expansion the world has seen, all in the name of Mohammed and Islam.

This is a serious question: How many innocents did the British kill in their conquests?

Undoubtedly, some. It is impossible to have a war without some innocents being killed.

There is also the question of how innocence is defined.

But most conquerers were far worse than the British. The British, as least, had a Christian culture, where killing innocents was looked down on.

It was not like the Muslim or Mongol cultures, where killing innocents was either encouraged, or considered entertainment.
