Is Islam on the same warpath in Europe that necessitated the creation of the Crusades?


These…

And these…

are the result of these…

But all of these are nothing new: Islamic Global Jihad started four centuries before the Western Crusades which was a defensive action against the forcible expansion of Islam into territories that had been part of Christendom for centuries.

The Global Jihad was started by the Muslims in the year 630 A.D. when Muhammad invaded and conquered Mecca and then killed all the Jews in Medina. Later on, Muslims invaded Syria, Iraq, Jerusalem, Iran, Egypt, Africa, Spain, Italy, France, etc. The Western Crusades started around 1095 to try to stop the Islamic aggressive invasions, which eventually they did. Muslims managed to slaughter about 270 million people: 120 million Africans, 60 million Christians, 80 million Hindus, 10 million Buddhists, etc.

Forced conversions to Islam have been the norm, across three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—for over 13 centuries. Orders for conversion were decreed under all the early Islamic dynasties, under both Seljuk and Ottoman Turkish rule, and in Persia/Iran and the Indian subcontinent, etc. Islam has been at a continuous war against non-Muslims for almost 1400 years.

 ISLAMIC CONQUEST
Islam divides the world in two:
1) The House of Islam (dar al-Islam): Nations submitted to Islamic rule.
2) The House of War (dar al-harb): Nations that have not submitted to Islam but must be submitted according to Islamic doctrine. Thus, Muslims (dar al-Islam) believe they must make war upon non-Muslims (dar al-harb) until all nations submit to the will of Allah and accept Sharia law.
