He he... so when christians killed Jews and other Christians on their way to the "Holy Land" that was defensive too?

Pretty funny. Don't get me wrong... religious nuts are religious nuts. I'm not fond of any of it... But...

When was the last time Islam invaded the west?

I'll answer that for you:

The 1683 Battle of Vienna

During the Fourth Crusade (1202–1204), Christians attacked other Christians. The crusaders intended to fight Muslims in Egypt but got sidetracked and destroyed the great Eastern Christian capital of Constantinople.

Meanwhile Europe has invaded the Muslim world multiple, multiple times... particularly after Britain, and then others, switched its navy over from coal to oil around 1911.

First Anglo-Afghan War

Of course the Russkies got their asses kicked in Afghanistan before the US decided to sacrifice it's children over there too, ignoring the lessons of Vietnam and the Russian experience.
