both US and ISIS are terrorists. but the US is the original terrorist. we go in to other nations and take over land and resources just like the romans and nazis did. the people in the middle east would be content to stay in their own land without interference from the west. we have been invading the east for generations and it's only recently they have started coming to us. the US is the action ISIS is the reaction. and you can't blame them either. if your country was invaded would you bend over and allow it to happen or would you come together and fight to the death?
So islam NEVER invaded anyone since its birth? No tribes or cultures were decimated, raped, or turned into slaves? Ever? That is your position?
Let's see what basic 6th grade level history tells us...
Arab slave tradeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arab slave trade was the practice of slavery in the Arab world, mainly in Western Asia, North Africa, Southeast Africa, the Horn of Africa and certain parts of Europe (such as Iberia and Sicily) beginning during the era of the Arab conquests and continuing through the 19th century.[1] The trade was conducted through slave markets in the Middle East, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, with the slaves captured from Africa's interior.
During the 8th and 9th centuries of the Fatimid Caliphate, most of those enslaved were Saqaliba Europeans captured during wars and along European coastlines.[2] Historians estimate that between 650 and 1900, 10 to 18 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken from Europe, Asia and Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert.[citation needed]Toward the 18th and 19th centuries, the flow of Zanj (Bantu) slaves from Southeast Africa increased with the rise of the Oman sultanate, which was based in Zanzibar in Tanzania. They came into direct trade conflict and competition with Portuguese and other Europeans along the Swahili Coast.[3] The North African Barbary states carried on piracy against European shipping and enslaved thousands of European Christians for ransom.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade19th-century European engraving of Arab slave-trading caravan transporting African slaves across the Sahara
