pretty much this, ask yourself this, have you ever been scared of any muslim army or just of a loony random driving a truck through a market? when was the last time you feared a muslim army beyond the fabricated Sadam WMD meme? technology aside would you rather fight an army of russians or an army of muslims? could you imagine 2 current muslims countries working together when they can barely maintain themselves as 1 country without killing each other?

even the Kurds which are pretty much just a meme can beat other muslims as long as they have equivalent weapons

So I feel like sitting down with a nice history book. Recommend one to me.

Difficulty: No Gibbon or Durant. (They're excellent, mind you, but I didn't have the attention span to finish either. Would prefer something a bit shorter.)
