Not a twisted view

Modern Jihadism began with the treachery of the true occupants of Palestine by Britain during the First World War. They were promised freedom if they fought against Islamic Caliphate. They did; when the war was won, Churchill & Co decided to get rid of Jews in their lands by shunting them out to Palestinian land where once the Muslim majority lived in peace with Jewish minority. Churchill's letter to Pele Commission " I do not believe that the dog in the manger has the right to the manger when a superior and stronger race occupies it...." Is the most disgraceful historical record ever written.

Persecution of Christians lasted, if it did, less than 50 years after Christ; persecution by Christians of the European, Africa, American, Asian and Australian races is what the modern history is made of. Islam has tried, but played a much smaller side role in the game.
