"...forced them to convert to Islam or face slaughter..." You have outlined the flaw in Islam and pointed to the fact that there are no moderates and no conciliatory middle ground. We are in a pickle and being soft is not the right response. We now face the same choice as the peoples of middle east countries have faced for many years.

Message 20012917 name of their prophet Allah You are confusing the God with the prophet.. If it turns out to be all the same God you might be in trouble :o) Tatars nowhere to be found That's pretty complicated. which Tatars ? The original ones with the Mongol problems ? Assyrians Yeah they were good guys too :o) pre Islam The Arabs subdued, Ashurbanipal went against Elam, which had accepted bribes from his rebellious brother and given him assistance. The war went on for nearly a decade, until the Assyrians won the last battle in 639 B.C. They devastated and thoroughly plundered the entire land of Elam; the Elamites disappear from history at this point. The rivalry between Elam and Mesopotamia, which had lasted for more than two thousand years, was finally over. xenohistorian.faithweb.com Phoenicians wiped out Was just jibber jabbering (remember Mr. T ?) about that on Friday... of course we should know the Romans had a big part in that play.. pre Islam Message 20008106 BTW all those colourful native place names throughout North America ... there used to be people behind them... Haim no matter who cuts the cheese it generally stinks.. regards Spots...
