Why the Crusades? the Muslims conquered the Christian Near East, parts of Italy, and all of Spain—unchecked, they'd have taken Europe.

According to traditional accounts, the Muslim conquests (Arabic: الغزوات‎, al-Ġazawāt or Arabic: الفتوحات الإسلامية‎, al-Futūḥāt al-Islāmiyya) also referred to as the Islamic conquests or Arab conquests,[SUP][2][/SUP] began with the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. He established a new unified polity in the Arabian Peninsula which under the subsequent Rashidun (The Rightly Guided Caliphs) and Umayyad Caliphates saw a century of rapid expansion of Muslim power.
They grew well beyond the Arabian Peninsula in the form of a Muslim empire with an area of influence that stretched from the borders of China and India, across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa,Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees. Edward Gibbon writes in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
Under the last of the Umayyads, the Arabian empire extended two hundred days journey from east to west, from the confines of Tartary and India to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. And if we retrench the sleeve of the robe, as it is styled by their writers, the long and narrow province of Africa, the solid and compact dominion from Fargana to Aden, from Tarsus to Surat, will spread on every side to the measure of four or five months of the march of a caravan. We should vainly seek the indissoluble union and easy obedience that pervaded the government of Augustus and the Antonines; but the progress of Islam diffused over this ample space a general resemblance of manners and opinions. The language and laws of the Quran were studied with equal devotion at Samarcand andSeville: the Moor and the Indian embraced as countrymen and brothers in the pilgrimage of Mecca; and the Arabian language was adopted as the popular idiom in all the provinces to the westward of the Tigris.



Looks like they are taking over Europe now without a war.

This is shocking, and sickening.


Well it is what it is, they got smart in some ways, just over populate to take over. Fairly simple plan and really nothing will change because whities are too selfish with their own lives (me being one of them). We just are unwilling to have more children and lets face it, dealing with a woman for a long time is very hard. The old timers probably don't have that problem cause women have changed drastically over time. They simply do not need a man like they once did

Learn some history, Obama: the Crusades were a belated and necessary response to three hundred years of Muslim invasion and conquest.

Exposing Obama's false analogy.

the Inquisition over four centuries killed fewer people than the radical Muslims killed in one day on 9/11.

I'm sure this stuff is taught in public schools all throughout Europe and North America...right? Right??

By the 8th-Century, just 100 years after the death of Mohammed, the Arabs had converted most of North Africa to the Muslim faith, crossed the Straits of Gibraltar, and overrun Spain.


They then entered France, but were decisively defeated by the Christians at the Battle of Tours (Poitiers) in 732 AD.


For 700 years, from the 8th-to the 15th-Century, the Spanish Christians slowly pushed the Muslims back and, during the reign of Queen Isabella in 1492, the same year Columbus reached the Americas, they drove the Muslims off the peninsula

The massacre of the army of Sudanese Dervishes on a plain near Omdurman on September 2nd, 1898.


The Khalifa’s army consisted of about 60,000 tribesmen, mainly ansars or servants of Allah, referred to as Dervishes by the British.
The battle lasted a little more than five hours. As many as 11,000 Dervishes were massacred and 16,000 wounded. The Anglo-Egyptian losses numbered only 500 (dead and wounded).


Kitchener’s army of 17,600 Egyptian and Sudanese troops and 8,200 British regulars, was heavily outnumbered.

A dervish.

Obama's drones have killed more people than the Spanish Inquisition.

These people cheering Obama on for bringing up the crusades are laughable idiots.
