No, acutally I would, because my roots are traced to some province in China probably
And I dont think you are - im just stating what the article stated. That they were set out to destroy Christianity which I find absolutely ludicrous given that the evidence points otherwise.
As for the world being a different place.. history doesn't prevent alternatives unfortunately so I cannot predict what the world would be like and I dont think you can either. If another general rose up later and drove them out, we could live in the same world, we could still be different. Who knows what would've happened because it simply hasn't.
The line "A Moslem army, in a crusading search for land and the end of Christianity..." makes me cringe which is what I'm pointing out. Sorry if it sounded like I was going after you, it was more the article and that you didn't provide a link to your source, which makes me question the motive of its writer.
