Indeed, a good swift kick in the nuts.What do Muslims have to with the Sassanids that conquered Jerusalem. My post was about Jerusalem, not the much later defeat of the Sassanids by the Arabs. There was nothing peaceful about Islam during the Arab conquests, what are you on about? The Arabs conquered land from the Byzantine (Christians) and the Sassanids (Zoroastrians) most of whom converted to Islam. What is your point?
Right on. Some things never change. Like you say "There was nothing peaceful about Islam during the Arab conquests." And there is nothing peaceful about radical Islam today either.
There was nothing peaceful about Christianity during the British (or Spanish or French etc.) conquest of their empire. No conquests are peaceful. And today, there is nothing peaceful today about radical Christians such as the KKK, neo-Nazis etc. What is your point?
I am not aware of Christians such as the KKK or neo Nazis killing us infidels all over the world. Are they?
Who are "us infidels"? Neonazis would not consider Christians infidels, would they. Neonazis indeed kill all over the world, including in the U.S. In fact, most terrorist acts in the U.S. are not perpetrated by Muslims.

As far as Europe.
"Europol Report: All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 99.6% that Aren’t"
"The results are stark, and prove decisively that not all terrorists are Muslims. In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam. Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups....Perception is not reality. Due to the right wing’s influence and propaganda, people mistakenly think that Islamic terrorism is the greatest threat to the Western world. It is even a commonly held belief that Islamic terrorism poses an existential threat–that the very survival of the Western world is at stake. Of course, the reality is that there are other groups that engage in terrorism on a much larger scale, yet these terrorist incidents are minimized. Acts of terrorism committed by Muslims are purposefully sensationalized and focused upon, culminating in the idea that “(nearly) all terrorists are Muslims.”

OUTSTANDING! So where are all those 97% of good Muslims protesting radical Islam?
