Ted,

What a relief......you probably don't have any of their blood in you.

Unlikely. The town where I am from was a refuge for those who could afford to flee the Ottoman occupation.

When Europeans were sleeping in their cows' dung during the Dark Ages, the Islam Empire stretched from Indonesia to S. Spain. They had hospitals, books, were performing eye surgery and building beautiful cities in S. Spain. Europe would have done well not to have been 'saved'.

The problem with Islam is that as Europe went from Dark Ages to Enlightenment and on, Islam went Enlightenment to Dark Ages...
