British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, speaking at Aylesbury on the 20th September, 1873:
"I can assure you, Gentlemen, that those who govern must count with new elements! We have to deal not with Emperors and Cabinets only. We must take into consideration secret societies, who can disconcert all measures at the last moment, who have agents everywhere, determined men, encouraging assassinations, and capable of bringing about a massacre at any moment."

Other side of the story would be:
Christian soldiers killing Muslims I occupied countries like Iraq and Afghanistan by hundreds of thousands in years under the name of war on terror..
What’s the different..?
Originally posted by Credenceskynyrd
really, those soldiers were CHRISTIAN, quoting the Bible and killing Muslims to further Christianity?!
With the persecuted Christians in Iraq, for example, and their numbers falling, that doesn't seem to have worked out too well, in other words you comparison is nonsense- it may have made sense several hundred years ago

There was Jewish influence in WW1 who came from Germany when the Brits were getting their butts handed to them.

They brokered a deal with the Brits to get the USA into the war against Germany, Hungary etc in return for Palestine... If this agreement did not occur, Britain would be toast right now.

Now now, the very same thing is happening in Syria yet we are funding and arming the people doing it.
This isn't about whether Christians are being persecuted or not, its about controlling the resources coming out of those countries at any cost, including the sacrifice of Christians..
The people doing this are not interested in your religious background from both sides.

I and continued attacking Europe for hundreds of years after the crusades finished (Vienna was twice attacked by the Muslim Turks in 1529 & 1683). Southern Europe was occupied by Islam until the end of the 19th century.
In the period running up to the first crusade in 1096, Islam invaded Sicily, Cyprus, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Malta, Sardinia and Armenia. They twice burnt the Monastery of Monte Cristo to the ground and attacked Rome in 846, forcing Pope Leo IV to promise a yearly tribute of 25,000 silver coins.

Siege of Vienna
Islam was highly aggressive to the West for hundreds of years before the crusades and attacked Southern Europe for hundreds of years after the crusades.
Islam was the aggressor, not the victim.

So, while I understand there is a lot about peace and love in the Koran, this other aspect is often missed. But also overlooked is that the Bible extols the same thing. Deuteronomy 13: 7-11 requires the killing of those who would serve other gods:
If your brother, the son of your father or of your mother, or your son or daughter, … tries to secretly seduce you, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” … you must kill him … . You must stone him to death since he has tried to divert you from Yahweh your God.
John 15:6 says:
If anyone does not abide in me, he shall be cast outside as the branch and whither; and they shall gather them up and cast them into the fire, and they shall burn.
In Luke 19:27, Jesus says:
Those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.
These types of commandments were at the heart of the various Inquisitions that resulted in the mass murder of thousands of non-Christians throughout history. And note also that the Lord told Moses in the Bible, Leviticus, chapter 20, that the following offenses deserve the death penalty: cursing your parent, adultery, making love to your stepmother or your daughter-in-law, and homosexuality, among others.

Ottoman Empire was not an Islamic invasion on Europe. The Ottomans attacked and conquered other Muslim countries in the same time period aswell.

All religions have been agressors in the history, one of the biggest genocides in known history was commited by Christians on Native Americans around same time as Ottomans conquered Constantinople.
