Re: Muslims occupy Europe
Neither were the Muslim soldiers slaying people with scimitars. They were hardly anything close to what one would describe as scholars of the Koran. Soldiers are soldiers - especially in the age of empires and feudalism when the education of the common man did not extend beyond that of a french fry. Stop being obtuse.
In case you are unaware, the primary motivation for the Spaniards were the 3 "g's" - glory, gold and God.
I am continuously surpassed at the lengths people will go through to justify categorizing Islam as somehow the "worst." Truth is, religions in and of themselves are just ideas. Men have time out of mind used religion (and it did nto stop at religion, and extends to political ideologies) to conquer, slay, plunder, discriminate and rob what they have labeled as "others" who have not met their definition of self.
To think otherwise is just to warp history and display a depth of ignorance akin to the depth to the center of the earth.
