Mr.Berg, you say don't blame Islam for a small minority doing something absurd. Was it a small minority of Muslims who invaded India and in over five hundred years of continuous jihad against the Hindus managed to murder between 60 to 80 million of them? How absurd of them.

We know the figures of death tolls throughout the ages thanks to the Muslim chroniclers of the day who kept meticulous records.Is it not absurd for the great majority of Muslims now living in Western Europe to insulate themselves from their own adopted country of residence? Isn't it absurd that most of them,especially the "youth" ,steadfastly refuse to integrate themselves into the societies in which they are living?

I've heard the arguments that these poor,misunderstood youths have been discriminated against, even while the liberal governments of Europe have been spending billions of dollars on entitlements for these people to help them integrate into society.Why do they refuse to do so? Because their imams and other teachers tell them not to.It's that simple.How can Islam restore the caliphate if Muslims start to adopt European norms of thought and behavior? You ask us not to cause a misunderstanding between two civilizations.

I assume you are talking about the West and Islam. Don't you think it might possibly be a little late to offer us infidels such sentiments? The Muslims blame western civilization and Christianity in particular for all the atrocities comitted by both sides during the Crusades.What I never hear mentioned is that by the time of the first Crusade in 1095 Islam had already conquered 2/3 of the Christian world.Islam teaches al taqiyya and kithman as methods to deceive the infidels.

We know that in Islam there are only two worlds: the dar al Islam and the dar al harb. The land of Islam and the land of war (belonging to the un-believers). Muslims are taught not only in their mosques, but in the Quran as well that it is perfectly acceptable to lie to infidels to deceive them about the true intentions of Islam and it's goal of world domination or to further the goals of Islam. They are taught to live in dar al harb and get along with the infidels until they are strong enough to overthrow them. Yet they try to deceive us with propaganda campaigns like the one going on in Great Britian right now "Islam is Peace".

Really??? Thirteen hundred and fifty years of history reaveals that Islam IS NOT PEACE when the body count is added up.How does a "religion of peace" show their true nature? By butchering over three hundred million people In the name of Allah? No European or American should EVER apologise to anyone,least of all to a Muslim for the Crusades.

If it weren't for the Crusades and men like Richard Lion Heart, Vlad Dracul, El Cid and Charles Martel we would ALL be worshiping Allah right now. There would be no Christianity.
