Nice try Zeev....but the writer knows a lot less about history than many of the posters on this thread...

>>>For centuries, even before the Crusades, Islam was the dominant world religion, <<<<

Absolute rubbish... Islam had its followers, but prior to the crusades Christianity had the population base (and the followers) that Islam could only dream about.

Probably there were some of the Oriental religions that dwarfed both Islam and Christianity in terms of membership.

This thread has some pretty well read historians and Mr. Joe Gelman comes up short....

Why does Islam hate the West???? Here we have a handful of theories as firm as the dry grains of sand that you can hold in your hand.

Every Religion has a few dangerous, vicious, half cocked, extremists, that need to be brought under control. Why these people surface from time to time has never been well explained.

Have a good week-end...Jerome
