Reader comment on item: Combating the Ideology of Radical Islam
Submitted by MPaul Hansen (United States), Apr 12, 2003 at 20:48
Just an Inquiry:As a part-time student of Roman/Byzantine history [to 1453], have yet to see [in the public forum], that this is really not a new 'phenomenum'. It is suggested the public be advised to review "JIHAD" by Paul Fergosi, which includes descriptions on centuries of conquests & attacks, including in Rome in 846. But perhaps only those willing to be 'politically incorrect' would even mention P. Fergosi's book
