Islam hasn't been around for "thousands of years." Mohammed lived and died less than 1400 years ago.

Before then, the Arabs were Pagans and animists. Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia (now Turkey) etc. were Christian countries, Iran was Zoroastrian.

Since the high point of the Caliphate, Spain forced out the Moors after 800 years of occupation, the Moguls were forced out of India, and the Ottomans were forced out of the Balkans, Greece, and the Caucasus.

At the present date, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, and other so-called "Islamic" countries, while the majority of the population is Muslim, the government is secular.

So much for the "inevitability" of Islam.

Yes, it is true that Jimmy Carter surrendered Iran to the Ayatollah. He always was a moron. Typical Democrat.

As, unfortunately, are you.

I have no doubt that 30 years ago you were convinced of the "inevitablity" of Communism.
