Muslim Turkish armies attacked Vienna, and as recently as 1683? I thought it was a religion of peace. Are you sure this is not just propaganda?

Great. Now this is "news I can use." I wonder what the west at that time would have thought of accommodation for shari'a law.

Could we also have videos of the Battle of Lepanto at which "Don John of Austria set his people free" and one of Charles Martel at Poitiers?
