At a time when Catholic youth are taught that Islam means peace, pilgrimage and prayer, and Catholic adults are under the impression that Muslims are a misunderstood minority who only want to share their values and their baba ghanoush, it's refreshing to occasionally make contact with reality.
I mean "refreshing" here in the sense that a dive into chilly waters is refreshing. I just finished reading Raymond Ibrahim's Sword and Scimitar, a history of fourteen centuries of war between Islam and the West, and the effect is similar to the shocked-awake effect of a plunge into cold water.
Not that I didn't have a general acquaintance with the history, but one tends to forget the details, and the devil, as they say, is in the details. Ibrahim supplies plenty of those. Moreover, the details are so shocking that one is inclined to think that the devil was intimately involved in the centuries-long jihad against Christendom.
Indeed, that's exactly what many Christians of those times did think. Muhammad and Islam were frequently referred to by popes and peasants alike as "demonic," "diabolic," and "satanic." For their part, Muslims had a particular hatred of Christians. They considered the Christian belief in Christ's divinity to be a great sin against Allah. Wherever Muslim armies went they desecrated and destroyed churches, broke crosses and statues, and made a particular point of violating nuns and torturing priests and monks.
In short, the violent conflicts between Muslims and Christians were primarily religious wars, not, as many modern historians suggest, wars for resources or national interests. Some historians, it seems, are less interested in past events than in finding ways to fit those events into contemporary narratives.

Muhammad the Goat Tender...
His ancestor was called in the Bible “a wild donkey of a man”
try since its inception in the early 600s.
islam has been at war with the world since its inception.
Islam is a death cult that exists to kill everything good.
A satanic cult that has one goal....destruction of every society other than islam!......1400 years - 650 MILLION innocent people murdered! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Between 700 and 1300 the Byzantines single-handedly kept them at bay and out of Europe. But for the Byzantines, the Muslims would have accomplished then by the sword what they are now on the verge of accomplishing with the womb.
I very much admire the Byzantine civilization, the ruthlessness of their politics notwithstanding.
We need another Charles Martel!!!!!!!!!!!
Correction
Since 632 ad
That’s almost 1400 yrs
Yes. Thank you. Circa AD 622, as I recall.
pro-Reich. pro-Saud.
Bush clan since Prescott.
Absolutely!
Apparently so
So true. If there are no Christians, Jews, Buddhists,etc. handy to kill or enslave, they will just as enthusiastically do it to other branches of Islam.
We'll exclude atheists for now since they temporarily have forged an alliance of convenience to eradicate Christians and Jews.
And when they have no common enemy, they war with themselves, Sunni vs Shia.
I’d love to see the author of the book in a debate with some our governments and US Dept of State’s, loudest muslim apologists. Watch him mop the floor with them and the whole thing devolve into a shouting match which will then end, when all the Leftists/Apologists walk off the stage.
Genesis 16:12
He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."
