[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The post listed violent events by Muslims, many of which were politically motivated.  It is not a synopsis of Islamic history over the past 1400 years.  Some of it is typical stuff done by invaders of the past whatever their nominal religion.  One could put together a similar list of what invaders and conquerors who were nominally Christian did in the past.

Also, none of the examples had Muslims murdering women and babies.

Not sure what your point is in citing such random examples.[/quote]

Yes, it did list circumstances of babies and children being murdered. And I addressed the topic of the Crusades as well, I would happily put together a list if that history was repeating itself right now.

I've given instances of violent Islamic history from 700 AD to the present, but you would like to state that these are random examples.  Understanding the past is the only way to understand the motivations of these groups in the present.

Religious zealots motivation by conversion through force or death or ethnic cleansing and power hungry political motivation can be two sides of the same coin, sharing a common bond by those that commit these atrocities in an alliance.

But we can keep saying the past has nothing to do with the present and this is just a completely random wrong interpretation of Islam and that the terrorists actions are an anomaly of Islamic history because these actions were just so "typical" back then.
