Byzantine Emperor Manuel II: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
Why have we put up with Islam all these centuries? It is not a religion of peace.
true words well said
Because, for centuries, it was a backward religion confined to the world's geographical backwaters. As such, it was a annoyance to the civilized world only once every two or three hundred years.
Petroleum-dependent economies, global transportation and communication plus modern weapons technology have changed all of that.
Notice that, even today, American politicians and the MSM shy away from pointing directly at Islamic teachings as the reason for muzzie terrorism throughout the world.
They keep on hemming and hawing about peaceful, militant, radical, devout and aggressive strains of islam but never indicate and point out that ALL muzzies get their religion from just ONE source — the Koran.
Get it? ONE source.
Ergo, ALL muzzies should be under the suspicion of being potential terrorists.
