Will it ever end?

WIll Muslim people always feel put upon, no matter how much of the world's land and resources are under their control? As long as one inch of Dar-al-Harb exists, will it ever stop? They feel a sense of defeat because of the Crusades, which they won!!!! In fact, Muslims were the original crusaders, spreading their religion and way of life by force. The real atrociy, in their eyes, was that non-Muslims dared to fight back.

Is it really an inferiority complex or is it the reverse? Their religion and culture is based on a belief in their own superiority. They think they know better than everyone else and we are the sinners because we refuse to acknowledge their greatness and adhere to their beliefs.
