>for centuries islamic and christian nations battle it out with advances that are quickly lost by both sides >imperialism powered by industry is able to break this stalemate >westerners become the bad guys and have triggered islam
Honestly, how can anyone with a basic knowledge of history think this conflict between the Islamic world and the West only began during colonialism and we're somehoow to blame for this? We never got along.

I didn't realise that Egypt, Syria, north Africa, Asia minor and the Balkans were lost quickly.
Eli James
By the Muslims I mean.
Kevin Williams
No one gave a fuck about muslims for most of europe's history though
France, Germany and Uk were busy slaughtering themselves, there's no black and white war between muslims and christians, hell france was allied with the ottomans to destroy another christian country
Josiah Myers
Mostly because most parts of the Muslim world hadn't been Imperialist for several centuries, even a thousand years for a few. The last time there was an expansionist Islamic empire based in Syria was the Umayyad Caliphate, and maybe the Zengids if you count them.
The Turks don't have an issue with imperialists so much as their neighbors, since they were the imperial power for much of their own history.

>We never got along.
Honestly, how can anyone with a basic knowledge of history think this conflict between the Islamic world and the West is something eternal and that Islamic countries and christian ones haven't been in cahoots together to achieve common geopolitical goals?

It started in 610 AD when a false angel of light whispered to Muhammad in the Hira cave.

This pretty much, nobody gave a shit about the Balkans except for Poles, Habsburg inbreds and other Eastern yurops.
The Dutch, French and England all had good ties with Islamic countries.
Joseph Cook
>what is the Byzantine fucking empire
Joseph Rogers
>Greeks
Parker Fisher
They also had pretty decent relations with Muslim powers for much of their history. Even with the Ottomans for a while.
Ian Baker
Are you retarded enough to say that Poles cared about the Balkans (they did not) and omit the Byzantines?
Sebastian Adams
>nobody gave a shit, except for half of Europe
Simply eric.

The European public (as a whole, there are still some sane people out there) acts as if their history only started in 1918 after WW2. They forget about Middle Eastern, African, and Asian history that led to the current situation. That, and the fact that de-nazification went too far and turned half a continent into self-hating apologists.

Have you even ever heard of the Hira cave?

Because believe it or not outside perhaps the first crusade the fights between islamic and christian countries were largely political and for economical gain,europe wasn't some big alliance trying to fight of islamic horde and neither were the islamic countries some big alliance trying to kill christians (mamluke ottoman conflict for example),the whole westerners are bad guys thing stems from american 'war on terror' that turned terrorism from a small part of afghanistan to a what it is today (isis).

How do you know the angel was false?

Why do the Indians hate the English so much. England rescued them from Muslim rule and uplifted their society.

Matthew 7:15-20, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 and Galatians 1:8-9.

Posts bible verse as an argument Claims bible is false ((*tip*)) Answers with another bible verse to disapprove that
This is not how things work my anglo saxon friend

Because Muslim Princes =/= Modern Fanatical cunts with a proselytizing agenda.
You can reason with the former as he's a head of state, the latter is irredeemable like all religious fanatics.

Aren't idiots like you supposed to believe the East Vs. West thing started with Darius?
Gabriel Harris
The roots of the modern problems of the West and Islam are certainly to be found in recent history, for example the 1st crusade is not originator of the Paris bombing
Wyatt Bell
there was never an all out islam vs. the west conflict that is an interpretation that is influenced by your understanding of the present situation. muslim states and christian states fought together in many wars and salafi-jihadism is a phenomenon that started only in the late 20th century.
Benjamin Harris
Ottomans also destroyed several saudi states until the brits helped them in their rebellion and together with oil money we have the shit we are currently in.
