Again: all Imperial Religeons have skeletons in their closets. I'm not saying that Islam is good. I am saying that we should avoid stereotyping and demonizing 20% of the world. Also, it's hypocritical to bash Islam as worse than other Imperial Religions.
Your minimizing the conquest of the New World is too transparent. The Olmec, Toltec, Inca, Maya, Aztec libraries burned were as priceless as Alexandria, and the suffering of the people worse than anything Saladin would or did do.
Neocolonialism continues under color of National Interests because the religous excuse got old in Christiondom. Many conservative freepers too oppose UN NWO IMF Globalony, so your intended insult of calling me Pakistani doesn't apply. Most Pakistanis are perfectly nice people and hate getting smeared by their lunatic fringe as much as conservatives or anyone else!

By the way: the Olmecs, Toltecs and Mayas were extinct as civilizations when the W. Europeans arrived. As for liberaries..that's funny, the Indians didn't have a writen language...they used heiroglyphs.

1400 years of violent conquest and the systematic destruction of neighboring cultures is not a sterotype, it is a pattern. Your bringing in other cultures destruction in wars that are not the only pattern but isolated parts of a whole, just to excuse the bloody history of Islam, whos entire culture is conquest is very transparent.

Yes Spain wiped out the remnants of the Myan culture, (which had self-estinguished mostly by the time they got there), primarily because a culture that is into human sacrifice does not make good bed partners. The primary reason that the remains of the Indian cultures were wiped out by the incoming europeans is not because the Indians culture was a good trading partner or a rival civilization, but because the part about cutting your enemies heart out and eating it while he was alive for spiritual strength was not compatable with European culture.

In fact, most of the cultures that have been wiped out in mans history are the "burn your first born child to please god" types. This is a history lesson the "chop the heads off of the infidels that will not convert", or "torture your captives and allah will ease your concience" Islamics should pay attention to. Looking at man's past history, and predicting the future from it shows that Islam is headed for utter destruction.

By the way, the philistenes, of which the Palestinians are now naming themselves after, were wiped out completely thousands of years ago. They worshiped Molech, a religion that required heating a bronze statue of their god to incandesence and then throwing their first born child in its waiting arms for a sacrifice. Strangly like the Palestinians practice of strapping explosives on their own children for a firey sacrifice to the political god of Palestine.
