>>Someone could make the case that the only reason we are having problems with Islam now is that Protestantism arose in the 16th century.
They could say that, but that is hardly a case. In the span of a few decades, God kicked the Muslims out of Europe, gave us the Reformation to close out the Middle Ages, and then gave us a new world to move to where his new church could flourish. America was founded on Protestant ideals.

No, what I said is true.
“In the span of a few decades, God kicked the Muslims out of Europe, gave us the Reformation to close out the Middle Ages, and then gave us a new world to move to where his new church could flourish. America was founded on Protestant ideals.”
God has no “new church”. There is only the Church and later sects founded by heretics and schismatics.
