Travis, if it were up to me, I would annihilate these savages who bring pain and death to so many. But this is no different from the way you (Christian folk) were not so long ago. Barbarism in the name of God is not a recent development. Unfortunately, thanks to British support of the House of Saud and the Wahabbis, and the deeply unfortunate continuation of that policy by OUR governments, a dark and malignant strain of my faith now makes mischief across the world.
Let me put it this way-- if you gave the Klan about 1200 billion dollars in disposable income over 30 years, what do you think would happen?
As far as your point about Imperial Islam in Spain, that phase of history merely about conquest and empire-- the brutality of Wahabbism didn't exist in Islamic society back then. Besides, Europe would still be in the dark ages if it weren't for all that to and fro.
Oh sure. All the problems of islam are the white man's fault, and islam had a golden past.
Dream on. Islam spread so far in 100 years not by friendly persuasion, but at sword point. The same as it always has.
