It's funny, but every time a Muslim sympathizer wants to defend Islam In which part of my post did you find the defense of Islam? What's going on in Iraq today is a power grab, which has happened in every region of the world throughout history. It's not about Islam, its about wanting to be in charge. Well, Western society has evolved since then. Muslim society clearly has not. We Americans "evolved" by killing all the "others" (Indians, Spanish, French, British, Southern US slave owners, etc.). Once we won those wars, yeah, we stopped killing the "others". They were either dead, or had left and gone home (or to Costa Rica). The tribes of Saudi Arabia did finish their "evolution, as you call it" process ~90 years ago. Saud got named Kind of Saudi Arabia, those opposed to his leadership were killed, and Saudi Arabia has been "evolved" ever since. What's going on in Iraq today hasn't got nearly as much to do with Islam as it does with control power. But if the fact that America finished that "kill the enemy" process 150 years ago makes you feel more advanced than the "others", enjoy the feeling.

It's funny, but every time a Muslim sympathizer wants to defend Islam, they go back several hundred to a thousand years to talk about Christian atrocities. Well, Western society has evolved since then. Muslim society clearly has not. One doesn't have to go back 100s of years. Five years ago, the Irish Catholics were still bombing the hell out of the Irish Prots. The Tamil Tigers who are either Christian or Hindu are still doing their killing. Nigerian Christians have attacked and slaughtered Nigerian Muslims as recently as two years ago. Violent behavior is not the exclusive domain of the Muslims.
