Thoughts

It was a thousand years ago when western Europeans, mostly Christians, got their fill of Islamic conquest and decided to push back. They took the fight all the way to the Holy Land. Unfortunately, they quit before the goal of ridding the world of Islam was complete.

Perhaps they were distracted by Columbus' discovery of the New World. In 1519, Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortez led an expedition to present day Mexico in search of riches for Spain. (Gold often trumps religious fervor.)

But Cortez encountered the Aztecs whose priests ripped the hearts out of living captives and even from their own children, as a sacrifice to their "gods". Cortez realized that no good could come from such beliefs and set about to destroy the Aztec "religion". This time the job was successfully completed.

Had it not been, Aztec priests would still be murdering innocents and, most surely, Western politicians would be calling it a Religion of Peace.

Once again, Europe is in a position where Muslims are "invading" their countries as immigrants. Like the founder of Islam, the pedophile Muhammad, these immigrants relentlessly push for the acceptance of Islam.

In Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, Muslims are exhibiting savagery as brutal as were the Aztecs. Convert or they will behead you. But, today there is no Hernan Cortez. Western politicians insist that the brutality comes only from "radicalized" or "extreme" practitioners of Islam. Islam, they tell us, is a religion of peace.

Scriptures from Muhammad's Quran, however, tell us differently.
