>>except when it applies to taking other's land based on these myths.<< You're right. The Muslim invasions after the rise of Islam may have taken the lives of over 100 million people. Of course, the survivors were forcibly converted, and their descendants are now very devout Muslims. So, in the end, the Mohammedans genocide of animists, Jews and Hindus was the most successful in history. His secret (and that of his followers) was that they gave people a way out of being slaughtered--convert to Islam. If Hitler had been less bloodthirsty, and merely required conquered peoples to adopt Nazi principles and lifestyles, we'd probably not have seen US entry into the war, and today we'd have an entirely Nazified Europe (led by Gustave Jaeger), following some sort of Hitlerian religion, which would revolve around the teachings of the founder (similar to Scientology).
