History is a wonderful thing.

This article identifies just one little part of history.

Look at history in total (as much total as you can consume), and you quickly find that we humans have developed an ever-increasing ability to kill one another.

I'm not taking sides in the article except to say that the Battle of Tours was indeed a turning point in the expansion of the Muslim empire. It took another 700 or so years to stop it in Europe in Spain and in other fronts across Europe.

You would think we have advanced beyond the stone-age level of annihilating one another instead of sitting at a table nd working through our differences.

We have not.

...Hanson writes that the Roman legions had crumbled “because of the dearth of free citizens who were willing to fight for their own freedom and the values of their civilization.”

Sounds familiar..............................

And all of this occurred before the first Crusade.

Remember that when leftists try to make Europeans look bad for “oppressing innocents” and use crusades as an excuse for Islamic Jihad.

It was the other way around. The Crusades were a reaction to the expanding Caliphate.

Then over 1,000 years later France made the mistake of colonizing areas of then Muslim Northern Africa (particularly Alegeria) and then permitted massive immigration into France of local citizens of those colonies, whose descendents (and those added over the years sicne) in France today have altered France domestically, in negative ways it may never recover from.

There is no reconciling the mentality of the Arabs from the Quran, for it justifies all the atrocities they do.

It could also be argued that Thermopylae was the beginning of Western Civilization as a historical continuum. Molon Labe still used today to indicate that there is something bigger than self that was discovered by the Greeks. Namely, the right of people to govern themselves and defend that right absolutely. And…. Here we are again.

Why didn’t those racist whites welcome the ‘refugees’ with open arms into their lands? Why didn’t they recognize the modern religion of “diversity” and how diversity is our strength? racist!

Our ancestors woudl kick our a55es for allowing everything they lived and died for to be wiped out by handing over our nations and our grandchildrens’ birthright to foreign invaders. Sickening what “diversity” “open borders” bleeding heart “multi-cultural” worshippers have done to us.

It’s called genocide folks.
