@skybird

i understand and respect your opinion. but cultural isolationism is hard to implement, and even harder to maintain.

The theory that Islam and Europe peacefully coexisted in past times in history is a complete myth
absolutely agree with you there. any time you have 2 cultures with different viewpoints, there's going to be friction -- either simmering just below the surface or exposed as all-out war. That friction occurs whether it 2 empires abutting, or a minority culture in the midst of another.

How do you ease that friction?

Islam that started to constantly attack europe since the 8th century until the 16th century and brought it two times to the brink of brakedown
whatever i think of that comment's accuracy, answer this -- what has happened since the 16th century? what has happened in the last 100 years? The history of aggression is not unilateral. but this is a digression...
