Less than optimal geographic location? The Islamic Empire conquered all of the Middle East, Southern Europe, parts of Asia, India, all of North Africa, etc. and you think they had less than optimal geographic location?
Conquerors tend to conquer things because other peoples' shit is better than their shit. Do you really disagree that geographically places like Europe and the United States are better off than most places in the Middle East? It's a harsh environment. Other than the oil that everyday people don't benefit from the Middle East doesn't have a whole lot going for it. War perpetuates ignorance and desperation more than anything, but their location isn't helping either.
OP is a Jewish individual that creates these type of threads, not because he's genuinely against Islam, but so the goyim(non-Jews) kiss up to Israel and fight it's wars overseas. This all relates to Israel to him. That's why I debunked the narrative he's trying to get across. Historically Jews and Arab Muslims were allies against goyim. Today even, Israel has really good ties with Egypt, Jordan, Abbas, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, etc...
