My News Years resolution was to read some more of of Bat Ye'or's histories of how Islam suppressed Christian and Jewish conquered people over the centuries. Did it. And now we're seeing it unroll before our eyes.
Ping your peeps?
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
This is very true.
WHAT IS JIHAD?
Tabari IX:69 Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allahs helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.
What is Jihad: The Arabic word Jihad is derived from the root word Jahada (struggle). Jihad has come to mean an offensive war to be waged by Muslims against all non-Muslims to convert them to Islam on the pain of death. Jihad is enjoined on all Muslims by the Quran.
This site brings you the history of the Islamic Jihad from a neutral and factual viewpoint.

Are you sure this shouldn't read:
Why did the Middle East become so violent? It always was, anytime they got military or strategic advantage. Bedouin desert-raider politics are embedded in the Koran.
Compare the way the equally vicious Viking plunderer ethic was not "sanctified" and institutionally supported by, for instance, Christianity.
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
The near east in ancient republican roman times already had the reputation of a land where the monarchs made slaves of their people, that was long before the Mongol invasion or the Rise of the worshippers of Mohameed.
The persian emperor was styled as king of kings and lord of lords. Before Mohameed, the arabs were known as raiders and brigands, Mohamed was able to institutionalize those elements and apply a religious gloss on what was already a cultural norm.
After Mhmd siezed power he quickly abrogated the quranic verses about tolerance and freedom, and reverted to the general model of near eastern governance.Posted by: stickman at January 13, 2008 1:06 AM

The Arabs were pagan predators raiders and thieves before Muhammad. Islam gave them an Allah and Muhammad that justified bloody thievery rape and conquest
Can’t this writer be prosecuted in Canada for this article?
Stay tuned.
Very true. Present-day Arab Christians (e.g. Maronites, Melkites, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Copts) had nothing to do with all those wars of Islamic-Arab conquest -— except as dhimmis and “collateral damage.”
Thank you for pointing out that important distinction.
A dear friend of mine (born in Lebanon) is a Maronite Christian, and an exemplar of all that is good.
She just happens to be an Arab.
I suppose if Christianity had murder, robbery and enslavement as its founding principles, it would have turned out differently though.
