I wonder where all those churches went? They vanished long before the Crusades, so being a symbol is moot. Long before the Inquisition too.

The culture and greatness of the four rightly guided califs? or whatever they were called is very much overstated in modern culture. Yes they held some learning and culture, but not how or what we think. They were remarkably brutal.

Nice trying to blame Bush for their barbarism.
