" They had their Mutazilites, and some Sufi sects. "

chechens are sufi. The turks killing priests and armenians are mostly sufi, what is your point?

"Remember Noah, Islam's advances were always against very similar despotic forces, the kings and potentates of the age. Since the collapse of the Ottomans where do you see any triumph for Islam. As your posts always remind us they all live in hellholes and cesspools of corruption, poverty and what should be of great comfort to you, Muslims have been intellectually emasculated by their imams. Islamic triumphs are only in the minds of Muslims. The present day muslims live in the reflected "glory" of their dead past. What are you afraid of, Noah."

2 points for you

1) muslims never had triumphs, the ottomans were merely stealing from past civilization that they exterminated later.

2) the fact that they are ignorant... commanded... via the clerics it's a scary image, millions of ants can destroy a field. That's why they are scary.

Dont underestimate the power of the losers and ignorants especially when they are more than one billion ...
