If one is in the MIddle-East it certainly feels like ISIS et al is everywhere & everyone from the rest of the world is there; however, what they are doing is getting everyone else involved in their regional aspirations (indirectly caused by constant interference of Western imperial powers of the past & modern Western powers). The global dimension kicked off with the last stupid Western invasion of Iraq.The effects are still resonating throughout the whole region.
Hmm, 1,500 years, and the first thing those good Catholics did during the Inquistion was come to the “new world” and enslave the population, those they didn’t murder in the name of Christ and the church.
Talk to Hawaiians about what happened when those kind-hearted Christian missionaries invaded, in the 19th century, not seventh, stole the land to grow cattle and sugar, and murdered their royalty.
“Your not listening to what ISIS et al keep saying they want to do.Islam has been at this sort of thing for 1400 years.Study some world history.”Actually, I have studied my world history. While Christian Europe was smack in the middle of the religious dogma induced Dark Ages, the Muslim world was the center of science, art, and culture. Muslims in the Mideast and India picked up where the Greeks and Romans left off. The Muslim world’s scientific and cultural decline occurred as religious dogma gained a stronger hold.ISIS/ISIL is dangerous because they’re religious fanatics, not because they’re Muslim.
