We have seen this scenario before. Took a couple crusades to push back
then. Muslim, called Mohammedan's until about 1950, spread their religion
via war and terror almost to Paris. History repeating?

We don't really want to emulate the crusades too much. In the end the
west lost the crusades and that led to the Ottoman empire that
controlled that whole region for 500 years. If they had not chosen the
wrong side in WWI, they still might.
The British would not have taken over Palestine and Islam would simply
be our gas station.

I am not supporting new crusades. Just pointing out that the Muslim
religion has pretty much used violence to expand. Harry thinks it is all
new. Bad liberal arts education. Dang Yale.
