I am sure that we Americans can help. We have already rewritten American history to make it politically correct.

Since that wasn't part of England's history (directly), he probably could care less. Europe as a whole has done all it can to avoid all mention of that battle, and subsequent ones of similar nature.

More recent accounts of the battle are dismissive of the Franks' military performance at Tours, claiming that the Muslim line only broke because they feared that the Franks would steal the booty that they'd gathered in their sweep across southern Europe.

Those piles of plunder were in the *rear*, so if they were threatened, it's because Martel's troops had already penetrated the enemy lines.

It should be difficult to twist that decisive battle. But for the revisionist leftie, easy enough. Call it hateful Christian aggression. Few will complain. Facts? Historical references? Nah - just someone's biased opinion, or so the revisionists will claim. Look at the vilification of Columbus.
