Well maybe a little,  In certain parts of Miami they are raping and pillaging daily.     But more importantly they have all left an indeliable mark upon the fabric of our society.  We are all better for it, at least I think so.

Hmm...

I believe Genghis Khan's invasion of Islam was the 1st of the mongol invasions, and I believe Tamerlane tried to rebuild that empire.

And according to many historians that invasion changed the course of Islam dramatically.  Seem to recall reports that Genghis claimed he was Allah's punishment upon the world of Islam.  Hmm a head trip on his enemies?


I'm not sure that the proper name for those that flew the planes into buildings would be religious fundies.  I tend to see them as something else altogether.  I further fail to see how christians, or the average muslim, and these extremist compare.  Perhaps you can help me out here?

//
Tamerlane came after Ghengis, started off around samarkand, invaded Persia, Russia, then India. Don't where you came up with "Genghis Khan came after Tamerlane" 'cause I didn't say anything of the sort.//

Please re-read my post.  I believe I posed that as a question???

According to some military history books I have read, Genghis Khan's invasion of Islam was the 1st  of any mongol attacks in that area.  An aside, a couple of his generals wonder north westerly with some troops and struck fear into all of western europe.

Its time we called up the big guns.....Jimmy Carter....he can figure this whole thing out in one fellow swoop! <--please note the blinking eye



seriously though if you look at the old testiment and Just the old testiment you'd get a vision of GOD and just god as viewed by christians as being very brutal and unforgiving....this is were christianity comes into play and that is why jesus is so important to us.

I'm not saying I know enough about islam to state a fact but formulate a less than educated opinion.  I think these fundimentalists are just looking at there "old testiment"so to speak and taking extremes from it.  Just my impression though.
