How Islam was responsible for slavery , mercantilism and colonialism

You post enuff bullshyte  : read TD and then revisit what happened in Spain

viz a viz Spain and the Christian Crusades


The Crusades are a series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes and fought by religious fanatics. They are supposed to have been the epitome of self-righteousness and intolerance, a black stain on the history of the Catholic Church in particular and Western civilization in general. A breed of proto-imperialists, the Crusaders introduced Western aggression to the peaceful Middle East and then deformed the enlightened Muslim culture, leaving it in ruins.

For variations on this theme, one need not look far. See, for example, Steven Runciman’s famous three-volume epic, History of the Crusades, or the BBC/A&E documentary, The Crusades, hosted by Terry Jones..

Quote:think the Europeans were going to stumble upon the Americas regardles

wat sense does that make..stumble upon the americas!  why, for what reason?

you have a world war going and europe getting wood locked out of the lucrative east.  it is east they wanted to go...why?  there is where the action was...essential products for europe.

but europe was weak.  english mercantilism was a protection racket by the Tudors seeking to build up and dominate, monopolize the trade with the northern european city-states.

out of that came english sea power wich finally landed in Massachusetts in 1609... 124 years ater henry the eigth promulgated his mercantile laws about english bottoms as the only bottoms that could bring wool from england and products to england.

its more than 100 years later before they could begin to challenge China and India and only by 1880 they cud take  over africa directly.

they 'stumbled' to america only when they had achieved the power to do so, and settler conquest became possible.  that is why they went when they did.  that is why all things happened due to interest..cause and effect.  no stumble necessary

ketchim it was a global war that developed betweem Islam and christianity.  why are wars fought  man..not because of ambitious popes ::confused::

it is always about money, wealth, economics...power tnot to be enslaved and exploited so that you can do that to them instead.

ideology is consistent with interest class and national/religion as well..method
