Slave mentality or best Army training

It is ironinc that most muslims outside Arabia are converts to Islam and quite possibly at the edge of a sword. That must be at least 90% converts and probably 70% of those forced. I salute the Arab Imperialism that did a very good job. So, good that these people have forgotten themselves altogether and what is even more shocking is that they actually celeberate their demise. Whatever else one may think of Islam, the system is the best training for Armies, I have seen thus far. 100s of years after their leaders' have passed away, they are still fighting the same battle and willingly!!! Sad but true.
