Now that Islam is 1400 years old, much is being made of the Islamic jihad being perpetrated by certain elements of the Muslim faith.
But think back, what was happening at the 1400 year point of Christianity?...
... the Crusades were also an attempt to 'spread the gospel' so to speak in a not too peaceful manner and it took another 300 years until the Enlightment for Christianity's barbaric era to pass.
Hopefully the current flame of democracy that is starting to spread through the Mid-east will become the Islamic Enlightment...
... because I hate to think that we could have another 300 years of the current violence and terrorism we are seeing coming from the Muslim world.
