Further to my piece about the Islamic history of building Mosques at the sites of their triumphs, I thought these comments might prove of interest:
'And look at what happened to all 37 synagogues in the Old City of Jerusalem, some of which were ancient, systematically blown up by the Arabs when the seized the city, who also uprooted Jewish tombstones from the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and used those tombstones to line the latrines of the Jordanian army.'
'For 450 years Muslims had been perpetrating Islamic Jihad attacks that had conquered and Islamized over half of Christendom long before the first Crusade was even called (1095), and to which the Crusades were a late and small-scale defensive reaction to stop Muslims from mass-murdering Jews and Christians in the Holy Land. Which said mass-murdering had begun with the Islamic "prophet" Mohamet.
IOW, the Crusades were not acts of unprovoked aggression by Europe against the Islamic world, but a delayed response to centuries of Muslim aggression (Jihad), just as the Muslims' are perpetrating upon the world today.

ReplyDeleteMr. Goat,
I saw your post on B-BBC and made the point that , obviously, more people read your blog than actually post here.
I have said before that the slowness of the posting system is a bit irritating. However, it is all part of the package and let's hope you get more comments in the future.
