if arabs conquered Spain through 'time honored' way on battlefield, then so did the Spaniards conquer it back in the same way. by that same logic, the wealth of sultan of Granada belonged to Spanish Monarchy because they conquered it in a 'time honored' way from the loser sultan. if u think muslims were always there in Europe in a time honored way, then so did they disappear from Spain in a time honored way. regarding the magnanimity of ottoman sultan for jews, i am sure you would have also head of 'janniseries'. they were christian boys captured from europe and indoctrinated into islam to go and attack the Christian kingdoms in europe. I dount if mohammad manged to convert more than 5 people to islam in a peaceful manner. you and ur family has been allowed to live in the UK in a time honored way. may be its time to go back in the same way? i shall go today and chant something 5 times in a time honored way.
