But you know that Saddam only attacked Kuwait because it wanted to join NATO, right?
##/irony##
Also, shall we forget how Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons and got a lot of sanctions thrown at them because of it?
Or is Iran not a Muslim country, now?
Saddam attacked Kuwait because it stole Iraqi oil wells:
What did you say about the Iran bit? I didn't understand, elaborate.

Christian-based imperialism is a one of a kind brand, used and utilised by the "west" and countries that take it as a role model -like the Empire of Japan in WW2-.
Prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him- never practiced Christian-based imperialism; actually he banned it and enforced terrible consequences on practicing it.
Putin is the reflection of the west's imperialism, just like Hitler.
japan practiced christian based imperialism? where did japan get the christians with which to practice its imperialism?
Yes, of course mohammed banned christian imperialism, there is no room in islamic imperial vision of the world for a rival religious imperialism. In fact for 800 years islamic imperialism was much more forceful and successful than christian imperialism, far more of islam is actually build direct on islamic imperial success against christianity. Without islamic imperialism islam would still be milking camels in arabian desert.
What checked islamic imperialism was not any deficiency in brutality or aggressiveness, it is backwardness and inability to progress beyond a the confine imposed by a primitive barbarous ethos of the iron age desert tribesmen of mohammed’s world. The west, for all its faults, triumphed over islamic imperialism not because it was more brutal, which it was not, but because it was more susceptible to progress.
