The Middle East had a period of strength about 1000 years ago and they almost conquered Europe.

Thousand years ago? Try a little less. In 1571 Venice defeated the Turks at the battle of Lepanto.The Turks besieged Vienna in 1683. Up till then Islam had been constantly threatening Europe.

The Turks besieged Vienna in 1683.

Until they were defeated on September 11, 1683. Think they're still a little sore about that anniversary?
