RELIGION OF PEACE
At Mohammed's death in 632, Islam had already begun its expansion throughout Arabia. Under successor leaders known as caliphs (commanders), Arab armies poured out of Arabia and took Syria (634-641), Persia (635-641), Egypt (639-644), North Africa (643-711), and Spain (711-715). At the height of expansion armies reached the border of China, northwest India, and southern France.

The only other modern comparisons are Napoleon Bonaparte & Hitler.

PALESTINE
Re your comments concerning Palestine perhaps you can be more specific? As far as I am aware, everytime there is a 'ceasefire' a Palestinian blows up a schoolbus and ends the ceasefire when Israel retaliates. Please clarify how this is untrue.
