Are we at war with Islam?

If you have any chance of winning a war, you must be able to identify the enemy.
Are we at war with Islam? Most definitely not.

But, Islam is at war with us.

In fact, Islam has been at war with the West, with Christianity, with Judaism – indeed, with the entire non-Muslim world – ever since the days of Muhammad.

This struggle, more than any other, has defined history for the last 1,200 years.

Americans don't understand this because they don't know their history. In Muhammad's era, Islam swept through the Arabian peninsula to conquer the Middle East. Its armies then marched on Europe, Asia and Africa. In the late 15th century, Columbus was exploring new trade routes because Islam's armies controlled the land routes to the East. He accidentally discovered America. In the late 17th century, Islam's armies were at the gates of Vienna.

For the next 300 years, Islam's imperialist ambitions faded. But it is quite clearly on the rebound today.
