You need to ask yourself why you have a compulsion to do otherwise. Why you feel the need to rehabilitate islams history in light of a western ethical view. Hell..this fuckin thread..you even have a need to rehabilitate domestic violence...........
If the brutal conquest of the nascent islamic empire was as rosy as you imagined it to be, or if islam, in general... were....then why would you have to keep coming up with excuses and alternative histories for terrible islamic shit?
No no no; what the conquestadors and the European colonists did was not "nasty shit"; it was the most hideous crime to ever take place across the history of mankind.
It wasn't just "nasty shit". It was a mark of shame on the consciousness of humanity as a specie, and Europe as a continent.
