Factual there where crusades,
When was the first crusade? Was it before the Battle of Tours? Was it before Europe faced annihilation at the hands of the Muslim hoards?
No, it was hundreds of years later in response to yet another attempt to invade by Islam. Constantinople was a Christian city that was invaded by the Muslims.
Let's be honest about who the aggressors were.
pogroms, colonization with forced conversions,
Colonization involved missionaries, but conversion by the sword was rare.
ppl bombing abortion clinics, assholes shooting planned parenthood clinics, etc. Point is Islam does not have exclusive rights to be morons.
True, every 20 or 30 years someone shoots up an abortion mill. But you are comparing apples and dog turds, aren't you...
What ISIS want, is to piss of western powers into reacting to muslims instead of ISIS itself, at wich point they feel they can unite all Islam under they're banner and win the war. It's all bogus of course but they don't have to be rational.
As to bowing to Islam, of course not but the only way you can truly fight madness, is with reason. The only way you can truly hurt them is be making it clear to them that they can't scare you into becoming a bigot.
Utter nonsense.
ISIS is very clear about what it wants, to reestablish the Caliphate in accordance to their book.
Calling someone a bigot for opposing Hitler and the Nazis is utter stupidity, and history recognizes that those like Chamberlain were indeed stupid.
Calling one a bigot for recognizing what Islam is, is likewise stupid.
If you want to know what Islam is about, what they want, what they will do, then read their book. They do, every fucking day, it's the only book they every read, between bouts of bowing to their Idol, 5 times each day.
Pretending that Islam is Christianity is delusional, induced mental illness.
