Here's a full list of all the Popes, starting with St. Paul in 32 A.D. newadvent.org As far as AD. Yes, some people call it After Death. Others call it Anno Domini, Year of Our Lord. Anyway, since St. Paul was the first pope starting in 32 A.D., then I guess it's safe to surmise that Jesus lived from 0 to 32 A.D. As far as state being forced on Muslims, that's an interesting theory. So right now Muslims are forcing despotic and theocratic states on themselves. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. has become the catalyst for Democratic states for Muslims. I guess the distinction I'd make is that Democracy is welcomed, yes even by Muslims, while despotism is never welcomed by the people. I just don't buy into that common liberal argument that Democracy is an imposition on Muslims and that somehow Muslims are different than the rest of humanity or that Muslims are incapable of Democracy. I just don't buy it.
