For good overview on how Islam did this over a 1,000 year period from Spain to North Africa to India and the extent of their slaughter and enslavement (which is astonishing), watch Dr. Bill Warner's talk Why We Are Afraid, A 1400 Year Secret starting at 15 mins.

Being overly "civilized" today has brought us to the point where our civic life is filthy, disease ridden, and filled with drug-addled crazies who endanger you and every family. Yet we and our kids have been endlessly taught to "tolerate" this destruction of our public civic life. We can't be critical of the bums and crazies out everywhere.

We have to stop being "tolerant" of things that are completely destroying public life. It's way past time to bring back the insane asylums and get these crazy people put away.

Slave-taking and -trading isn’t unique to Islam. Everyone did it, just for different periods of time. The Greeks and Romans did it, and the Picts, Saxons and Vikings did it.

There’s a tendency to lump all Muslims into one group. For over a decade after 9/11, that was my tendency. I still think Islam is a rival to the ideologies of the West, but it’s clear that most Muslims are not our enemies. We’ve allied with the Ottomans to resist Russia’s world-conquering ambitions. The Crusaders allied with weak Muslim kings against men like Saladin who wanted the whole enchilada. The Castilian kings allied with the Muslim rulers of Granada against the al-Mohads pushing up from Morocco. And in time, we will ally with the Muslim rulers of the countries near China to resist its territorial expansion.
