Christianity spread through the world through colonization, which also involved conflict as well. Whats your point?

That does not address what I said earlier about the Wests history of imperialism and conquest of people the world over.

The Christian Crusaders, what were they bringing to Foreign Countries?

Muhammad was a violent warlord. He spread Islam by the sword. Islam expanded by the sword.
You're not familiar with the Crusades? I'm surprised. They were designed to stop the invasion of Islamic forces, and rescue the city of Jerusalem which had been captured.

I was responding to a comment that Israel is trying to cause a division between the West and Islam.
I demonstrated that such a division already exists by way of the fact that Islamic aggression against the West has occurred off and on, mostly on, over the last 1,300 years.
But let's face it. There is no need to make up propaganda about Islam. It's own founder, religious books and history provides ample anti-Islamic 'propaganda' merely by shining light upon them.
I'm not comfortable with the thought of a bunch of Iranian fundamentalists having the Nuclear bomb. How about you?

Oh I love religious hypocrisy! It's some of the best hypocrisy around, almost as juicy and delicious as political hypocrisy!
Christianity has been NO SAINT when it comes to preaching violence. It's amazing how so many people choose lines of text from one religious book to point out the violence, while ignoring the violence in other religious text.
I'm not going to go into the whole issue of the Bible preaching slavery, stoning, conquest... because we've all been there already. It's just wonderful to see the easily-targeted hypocrisy is still alive and well!

No, I'm not happy about Iranian fundamentalists having a nuke either.

1980's: US-CIA backed National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) made multiple attempts to assassinate Qaddafi and initiate armed rebellion throughout Libya.
1990's: Noman Benotman and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) wage a campaign of terror against Qaddafi with Osama Bin Laden's assistance.
2003: Upon Qaddafi's abandonment of WMD programs, Libya's collaboration with MI6 & the CIA to identify and expose the LIFG networks begins, giving Western intelligence a windfall of information regarding the group.
2005: NFSL's Ibrahim Sahad founds the National Conference of Libyan Opposition (NCLO) in London England.
2011: Early February, the London based NCLO calls for a Libyan "Day of Rage," beginning the "February 17th revolution."
2011: Late February, NFSL/NCLO's Ibrahim Sahad is leading opposition rhetoric, literally in front of the White House in Washington D.C. Calls for no-fly zone in reaction to unsubstantiated accusations Qaddafi is strafing "unarmed protesters" with warplanes.
2011: Late February, Senators Lieberman and McCain and UK PM David Cameron call for providing air cover for Libyan rebels as well as providing them additional arms.
2011: Early March; it is revealed UK SAS special forces are already operating inside Libya
2011: Mid-March; UN adopts no-fly zone over Libya, including air strikes. Immediately, the mission is changed from "protecting civilians" to "ousting Qaddafi." Egypt violates the arms embargo of UN r.1973 with Washington's full knowledge by supplying Libyan rebels with weapons, while Al Qaeda's ties to the rebels are admitted by everyone including the rebels themselves.

I remember the first time Netanyahu came to the WH and was openly disrespected by Obama. If I remember correctly, he was also forced to leave through a side door (treated with utter contempt). I saw our government has turned its back on Israel back then. The words that have come from the WH was supportive since then but the actions have said otherwise (so I see deception there). I don't know how it is going to be pulled off and unfold but, I smell a double/double cross in here somewhere. I see Obama as an enemy to Israel from the get go and must wait until the proper time to do this double/double cross (I am guessing after he secures his seat in November, he isn't going anywhere..ever). I see this recent event as planned in preparation for a near future event. I am guessing the UN has something planned for November and Russia is involved. This may sound silly, so just disregard if you think so...It's just a guess I have, based on paying attention to the actions and giving less regard to what has been said to the public. But defiantly, I see a "set up" in the works. But hey...I don't follow all that is going on over there so I could be way off. *shrugs

This thread is about Obama throwing Israel under the bus in terms of their concerns over a Nuclear armed Iran.
