Sure its full of holes.
Hardly a word about Romes Papal Bulls..concordants..and land seizures..not to mention the overthrow of Non Muslim entites Rome had "Vendetta" with.
The current madness..Americas failed Mid-east policies from 30 years back ,was to imagine that they could control Islam..modify it..enlighten it..give it a softer side via Financial treaty and economic/military enhancement.
Foolish Rome tried the same thing and were nearly run over by the Juggernaught...Outside the gates of Vienna..the Lights finally came on upstairs.
The main reason Islam did not subjugate Europe was logistics..they were streched to far.
Islam despises weakness..it only emboldens them more.

"Outside the gates of Vienna" Bump! And that was a very close-run thing.

It's going to be interesting to see how far all of this goes. Will we begin a new "Reconquista" to take back the Holy Kingdom of "Outremer"?

Dieu le Veut!

Regards,
