Let me let you in on a secret, the reason why the Islamic caliphate expanded as fast as it did was because it had a secret weapon- butter cookies, which originally came from China.

It was only after the Crusades that the West finally picked up ancient Chinese secret and used the butter cookies to conquer the world!

DEFINITELY a conquerer. Islam was born in battle, and loves it like a Viking to this day.

Revisionist?
Muhammad died 632.
Battle of Yarmuk; 636, Sassiniad Empire conquered circa 650, North Africa 698, arrival in India around 720 AD, Europe 710 AD, Central Asia 751 (Battle of Talas). He had been dead for all of them, in most cases for generations.

As fpr Mecca, lets see was it three attempts by the Quraish, to take Medina(625, 626 and 627)and kill every muslim there, maybe they should have not fought and surrendered. Would have never thought you as a bleeding heart pacifist Snipe.

This is the opinion of Sir Winston Churchill, but that bloke is a racist:

Quote:
In a book called UK at War with Islam (pdf, 743k), the whackos of Al Ghurabaa use the following quotation from Winston Churchill (The River War, 1899):

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

This is a Muslim's Opinion of Islam.

A real eye opener. Eh?
