We bash the spread of islam by the sword TODAY.
We don't bash the spread of islam by the sword 1300 years ago just like we don't bash the spread of Greek culture by the sword 2500 years ago. Everyone was doing that back then. We have changed. The world has changed. Islam has not. That's why we have a problem with them.

For me that is pure hypocracy, and no offense to you personnaly, but I despise and hate hypocracy.

No hypocracy here. We don't spread western culture by the sword today. 3rd world despots are free to butcher their own people. We don't give a rat's ass. See Darfur? We don't care.
We care when these people want to spread their violence to us. 9-11 was a wake up call. A-stan and Iraq are retaliations. We would have been perfectly happy to leave those 2 nations alone had we not been attacked.

That's because I was frustrated at how retarded your response was. History in parallel? 150 years? Can't you grasp the comparison? Do I need to spell it out? You of all people should know Persian history and Alexander better than I can.
