No Similarity Between Islam and Early-Christianity

I wish you would stop implying that Islam is similar to early-Christianity, Dr. Pipes. It's simply not true. Indeed, the Crusades were a legitimate response to Islamic aggression. And only the most loony left-wing scholar would say the conquistadors are like today's jihadists. South America would be like much of Africa today if it weren't for the Catholic Church.
