Diagrams will do nicely for my slow brain ... as far as shockwave flash presentation ?? ... are we going into the realm of computational fluid dynamics, y+, boundary layers and shock waves in supersonic flows?? ... that stuff is hard material, I warn you ...

Joking aside, no need to hide that you show favoritism to anyone, it is loud and clear, I see it. Just like my biasness is loud of clear as well for you. Though, I couldnt care less about the spread of Islam by sword and actually as a Persian, I dont like that particular episode and therefore against it. However, I always find it amusing to use that period that show another side of the coin of hypocracy in the West, who bash spread of Islam (ideology) by the sword, but get drunk on the stories of Alexander the Great and its Greek horde, and how he spread his ideology eastward.

Whether, you say which ideology is superior that is your opinion, which is highly respected but debatable in my book. However, if you are saying that spread one ideology by the sword is okay/accepted/glorified, while spread of another ideology by sword is not okay. For me that is pure hypocracy, and no offense to you personnaly, but I despise and hate hypocracy.

Here, I said all very nicely, without resort into calling you either being "stupid" or "pretending to be" ...
