What is the most ridiculous?

Muhammed who has united arabic tribes into a united state hardly resembles Lenin and Stalin - authors of the ideologies of XX century. Rather he resembles rulers who have founded states in tribal societies, be it Mindaugas of Lithuania, Chlodwig and Charlemagne of France or Chingiskhan of Mongolia. Of course Muhammed had to improvise a new religion, while Mindaugas or Chlodwig have adopted existing one and Chingiskhan has carried further a tribal religion but that stems from the different historical circumstances.

And your assertion that I welcome the Salafi rule in Europe and Lithuania is perhaps the most ridiculous of all. Where have I said that?
