Interesting. Thoughts?

tl;dr
- Muhammad and his followers were driven from Mecca
- The enlightened people of Medina took them in
- This was viewed as weakness, which Muhammad used to seize power
- Within 5 years, all within Medina bowed to Muhammad; those that did not were summarily executed (primarily men, women were 'conquered')

An interesting contrast from the often cited refugee-status of the Holy Family in the Middle East

Yes, this is hardly a new thing, which is why it is so difficult to listen to liberal rhetoric.

What is surprising if you look back is how quickly the moslem plague spread once it took hold. They slaughtered millions, sometimes 30k in a single day. At a couple points they controlled much of Europe.

They ruled Spain for 900 years and I'm pretty sure there were some Africans taking part of the rape and enslavement of whites....moors and berbers...where's my reparations? hmmmm

Then there was the matter of the jews collaborating with the moslems to keep the Christians in Spain down. Apparently they preferred being ruled by moslems than Christians. It took over 150 bloody battles to reconquer Spain.

That got them in trouble when Ferdinand and Isabella siezed control in 1492.

The Spanish weren't too happy with their kosher friends, told them to convert to Christianity or leave. This is the great tragedy of the inquisition the liberals whine about - a bunch of backstabbers being asked to leave after they pissed the punch bowl. lol
