Just a taste of the Caliphate that still rages today. From a darker time in history, soon to come again: 700: Muslims from Pamntelleria raid the island of Sicily. 711: With the further conquest of Egypt, Spain and North Africa, Islam included all of the Persian empire and most of the old Roman world under Islamic rule. Muslims began the conquest of Sindh in Afghanistan. April 711: Tariq ibn Malik, a Berber officer, crosses the strait separating Africa and Europe with a group of Muslims and enters Spain (al-Andalus, as the Muslims called it, a word is etymologically linked to "Vandals"). The first stop in the Muslim conquest of Spain is at the foot of a mountain that comes to be called Jabel Tarik, the Mountain of Tarik. Today it is known as Gibraltar. At one time the Berbers had been Christians but they recently converted in large numbers to Islam after the Arab conquest of North Africa. July 19, 711: Battle of Guadalete: Tariq ibn Ziyad kills King Rodrigo (or Roderic), Visigoth ruler of Spain, at the Guadalete River in the south of the Iberian peninsula. Tariq ibn Ziyad had landed at Gibraltar with 7,000 Muslims at the invitation of heirs of the late Visigoth King Witica (Witiza) who wanted to get rid of Rodrigo (this group includes Oppas, the bishop of Toledo and primate of all Spain, who happens to be the brother of the late king Witica). Ziyad, however, refuses to turn control of the region back over to the heirs of Witica. Almost the entire Iberian peninsula would come under Islamic control by 718. 712: Muslim governor of Northern Africa Musa ibn Nusayr follows Tariq ibn Ziyad with an army of 18,000 as reinforcements for the conquest of Andalusia. Musa's father had been a Catholic Yemenite studying to be a priest in Iraq when he was captured in Iraq by Khalid, the "Sword of Islam," and forced to choose between conversion or death. This invasion of Iraq had been one of the last military orders given by Muhammed before his death. 714: Birth of Pippin III (Pippin the Short) in Jupille (Belgium). Son of Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne, in 0759 Pippin would capture Narbonne, the last Muslim stronghold in France, and thereby drive Islam out of France. 715: By this year just about all of Spain is in Muslim hands. The Muslim conquest of Spain only took around three years but the Christian reconquest would require around 460 years (it might have gone faster had the various Christian kingdoms not been at each other' throats much of the time). Musa's son, Abd el-Aziz, is left in charge and makes his capital the city of Seville, where he married Egilona, widow of king Rodrigo. Caliph Suleiman, a paranoid ruler, would have el-Aziz assassinated and sends Musa into exile in his native Yemen village to live out his days as a beggar. 716: Lisbon is captured by Muslims. 717: Cordova (Qurtuba) becomes the capital of Muslim holdings in Andalusia (Spain). 717: Leo the Isaurian, born along the Turkish-Syrian border in the Syrian province of Commagene, revolts against the usurper Theodosius III and assumes the throne of the Byzantine Empire. August 15, 717: Second Siege of Constantinople: Taking advantage of the civil unrest in the Byzantine Empire, Caliph Sulieman sends 120,000 Muslims under the command of his brother, Moslemah, to launch the second siege of Constantinople. Another force of around 100,000 Muslims with 1,800 galleys soon arrives from Syria and Egypt to assist. Most of these reinforcements are quickly destroyed with Greek Fire. Eventually the Muslims outside Constantinople begin to starve and, in the winter, they also begin to freeze to death. Even the Bulgarians, usually hostile to the Byzantines, send a force to destroy Muslim reinforcements marching from Adrianopolis. August 15, 718: Muslims abandon their second siege of Constantinople. Their failure here leads to the weakening of the Umayyad government, in part because of the heavy losses. It is estimated that of the 200,000 soldiers who besieged Constantinople, only around 30,000 made it home. Although the Byzantine Empire also sustains heavily casualties and loses most its territory south of the Taurus Mountains, by holding the line here they prevent a disorganized and militarily inferior Europe from having to confront a Muslim invasion along the shortest possible route. Instead, the Arabic invasion of Europe must proceed along the longer path across northern Africa and into Spain, a route which prevents quick reinforcement and ultimately proves ineffective. 719: Muslims attack Septimania in southern France (so named because it was the base of operations for Rome's Seventh Legion) and become established in the region known as Languedoc, made famous several hundred years later as the center of the Cathar heresy. July 09, 721: A Muslim army under the command of Al-Semah and that had crossed the Pyrenees is defeated by the Franks near Toulouse. Al-Semah is killed and his remaining forces, which had previously conquered Narbonne, are forced back across the Pyrenees into Spain. 722: Battle of Covadonga: Pelayo, (690-737) Visigoth noble who had been elected the first King of Asturias (718-0737), defeats a Muslim army at Alcama near Covadonga. This is generally regarded as the first real Christian victory over the Muslims in the Reconquista. 724: Hisham becomes the 10th caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty. It is under Hisham that Muslim forces make their deepest incursions into Western Europe before being stopped by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 0732. 724: Under the command of Ambissa, Emir of Andalusia, Muslim forces raid southern France and capture the cities of Carcassone and Nimes. Primary targets in these and other raids are churches and monasteries where the Muslims take away holy objects and enslave or kill all the clerics. 725: Muslim forces occupied Nimes, France. 730: Muslim forces occupy the French cities of Narbonne and Avignon. October 10, 732: Battle of Tours: With perhaps 1,500 soldiers, Charles Martel halts a Muslim force of around 40,000 to 60,000 cavalry under Abd el-Rahman Al Ghafiqi from moving farther into Europe. Many regard this battle as being decisive in that it saved Europe from Muslim control. Gibbon wrote: "A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal space would have carried the Saracens to the confines of Poland and the Highlands of Scotland; the Rhine is not more impassable than the Nile or Euphrates, and the Arabian fleet might have sailed without a naval combat into the mouth of the Thames. Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Muhammed." Others, though, argue that the battle's importance has been exaggerated. The names of Tours, Poitiers, and Charles Martel do not appear in the Arab histories. They list the battle under the name Balat al-Shuhada, the Highway of Martyrs, and is treated as a minor engagement. 735: Muslim invaders capture the city of Arles. 737: Charles Martel sends his brother, Childebrand, to lay siege to Avignon and drive out the Muslim occupiers. Childebrand is successful and, according to records, has all the Muslims in the city killed. 739: Already having retaken Narbonne, Beziers, Montpellier, and Nimes during the previous couple of years, Childebrand captures Marseille, one of the largest French cities still in Muslim hands. June 08, 741: Death of Leo III the Isaurian, Byzantine Emperor. Leo's tactical skills were responsible for turning back the second Arab Muslim siege of Constantinople in 0717, shortly after he was elected emperor. October 22, 741: Death of Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer) in at Quierzy (today the Aisne county in the Picardy region of France). As Mayor of the Palace of the kingdom of the Franks, Charles had led a force of Christians that turned back a Muslim raiding party near Poitiers (or Tours) which, according to many historians, effectively halted the advance of Islam against Christianity in the West. April 04, 742: Birth of Charlemagne, founder of the Frankish Empire. 743: Death of Hisham, 10th caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty. It was under Hisham that Muslim forces made their deepest incursions into Western Europe before being stopped by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 0732. 750: The Arabian Nights, a compilation of stories written under the reign of the Abbasids, became representative of the lifestyle and administration of this Persian influenced government. 750 - 850: The Four Orthodox Schools of Islamic Law were established. 750: The Abbasids assume control of the Islamic world (except Spain, which falls under the control of a descendant of the Umayyad family) and moved the capital to Baghdad in Iraq. The Abbasid Caliphate would last until 1258. September 755: Abd al-Rahman of the Umayyad dynasty flees to Spain to escape the Abbasids and would be responsible for creating the "Golden Caliphate" in Spain. 756: The Emirate of Cordova is established by Umayyad refugee Abd al-Rahman I in order to revive the defeated Umayyad caliphate which had been destroyed in 0750 by the Abbasids. Cordova would become independent of the Abbasid Empire and represents the first major political division within Islam. The political and geographic isolation of the Cordova Caliphate would make it easier for Christians to decisively conquer it despite their failures elsewhere, although this would not be completed until 1492. 759: Arabs lose the city of Narbonne, France, their furthest and last conquest into Frankish territory. In capturing this city Pippin III (Pippin the Short) ends the Muslim incursions in France. 768: Pepin's son, Carolus Magnus (Charlemagne), succeeded his father and became one of the most important European rulers of medieval history. September 24, 768: Death of Pippin III (Pippin the Short) at Saint Denis. Son of Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne, in 759 Pippin captured Narbonne, the last Muslim stronghold in France, and thereby drove Islam out of France. 778: Charlemagne, King of the Franks and soon-to-be Holy Roman Emperor, is invited by a group of Arab leaders in northeastern Spain to attack Abd al-Rahman I, ruler of the Emirate of Cordova. Charlemagne obliges them, but is forced to retreat after only getting as far as Saragossa. It is during his march back through the Pyrenees that his forces are set upon by Basques. Among the many who die is the war leader Roland from Breton, killed in Roncevalles, whose memory has been preserved in the "Chanson de Roland," an important epic poem during the Middle Ages. 785: The Great Mosque in Cordoba, in Muslim controlled Spain, was built. 787: Danes invade England for the first time. 788: Death of Abd al-Rahman I, founder of the Umayyad Emirate of Cordova. His successor is Hisham I. 792: Hisham I, emir of Cordova, calls for a Jihad against the infidels in Andalusia and France. Tens of thousands from as far away as Syria heed his call and cross the Pyrennes to subjugate France. Cities like Narbonne are destroyed, but the invasion is ultimately hated at Carcassone. 796: Death of Hisham I, emir of Cordova. His successor is his son, al-Hakam, who would keep up the jihad against the Christians but would also be forced to contend with rebellion at home. 799: The Basques rise in revolt and kill the local Muslim governor of Pamplona. 800: North Africa falls under the rule of the Aghlabi dynasty of Tunis, which would last until 909. 800 - 1200: Jews experience a "golden age" of creativity and toleration in Spain under Moorish (Muslim) rule. 800: Ambassadors of Caliph Harunu r-Rashid give keys to the Holy Sepulcher to the Frankish king, thus acknowledging some Frankish control over the interests of Christians in Jerusalem. 801: Vikings begin selling slaves to Muslims. 806: Hien Tsung becomes the Emperor of China. During his reign a shortage of copper leads to the introduction of paper money. 813: Muslims attack the Civi Vecchia near Rome. April 04, 814: Death of Charlemagne, founder of the Frankish Empire. 816: With the support of Moors, the Basques revolt against the Franks in Glascony. 822: Death of Al-Hakam, emir of Cordova. He is succeeded by Abd al-Rahman II. June 827: Sicily is invaded by Muslims who, this time, are looking to take control of the island rather than simply taking away booty. They are initially aided by Euphemius, a Byzantine naval commander who is rebelling against the Emperor. Conquest of the island would require 75 years of hard fighting. 831: Muslim invaders capture the Sicilian city of Palermo and make it their capital. 835: Birth of Ahmad Ibn Tultun, founder of the Tulunid Dynasty in Egypt. Originally sent there as a deputy by the Abbasid Caliphate, Tultun will establish himself as an independent power in the region, extending his control as far north as Syria. It is under Tultun that the Great Mosque of Cairo is built. 838: Muslim raiders sack Marseille. 841: Muslim forces capture Bari, principle Byzantine base in southeastern Italy. 846: Muslim raiders sail a fleet of ships from Africa up the Tiber river and attack outlying areas around Ostia and Rome. Some manage to enter Rome and damage the churches of St. Peter and St. Paul. Not until Pope Leo IV promises a yearly tribute of 25,000 silver coins do the raiders leave. The Leonine Wall is built in order to fend off further attacks such as this. 849: Battle of Ostia: Aghlabid monarch Muhammad sends a fleet of ships from Sardinia to attack Rome. As the fleet prepares to land troops, the combination of a large storm and an alliance of Christian forces were able to destroy the Muslims ships. 850: The Acropolis of Zimbabwe was built in Rhodesia. 850: Perfectus, a Christian priest in Muslim Cordova, is executed after he refuses to retract numerous insults he made about the Prophet Muhammed. Numerous other priests, monks, and laity would follow as Christians became caught up in a zest for martyrdom. 851: Abd al-Rahman II has eleven young Christians executed in the city of Cordova after they deliberately seek out martyrdom by insulting the Prophet Muhammed. 852: Death of Abd al-Rahman II, emir of Cordova. 858: Muslim raiders attack Constantinople. 859: Muslim invaders capture the Sicilian city of Castrogiovanni (Enna), slaughtering several thousand inhabitants. 863: Under Cyril (0826 - 0869) and Methodius (c. 0815 - 0885) the conversion of Moravia begins. The two brothers were sent by the patriarch of Constantinople to Moravia, where the ruler, Rostilav, decreed in 863 that any preaching done had to be in the language of the people. As a result, Cyril and Methodius developed the first usable alphabet for the Slavic tongue - thus, the Cyrillic alphabet. 866: Emperor Louis II travels from Germany to southern Italy to battle the Muslim raiders causing trouble there. 868: The Sattarid dynasty, whose rule would continue until 930, extended Muslim control throughout most of Persia. In Egypt, the Abbasid and Umayyad caliphates ended and the Egyptian-based Tulunid dynasty took over (lasting until 904). 869: Arabs capture the island of Malta. 870: After a month-long siege, the Sicilian city of Syracuse is captured by Muslim invaders. 871: King Alfred the Great of England created a system of government and education which allowed for the unification of smaller Anglo-Saxon states in the ninth and tenth centuries. 874: Iceland is colonized by Vikings from Norway. 876: Muslims pillage Campagna in Italy. 879: The Seljuk Empire unites Mesopotamia and a large portion of Persia. 880: Under Emperor Basil, the Byzantines recapture lands occupied by Arabs in Italy. 884: Death of Ahmad Ibn Tultun, founder of the Tulunid Dynasty in Egypt.

It is under Tultun that the Great Mosque of Cairo is built. 884: Muslims invading Italy burn the monastery of Monte Cassino to the ground. 898: Birth of Abd al-Rahman III, generally regarded as the greatest of the Umayyad caliphs in Andalusia. Under his rule, Cordova would become one of the most powerful centers of Islamic learning and power. 900: The Fatimids of Egypt conquered north Africa and included the territory as an extension of Egypt until 972. 902: The Muslim conquest of Sicily is completed when the last Christian stronghold, the city of Taorminia, is captured. Muslim rule of Sicily would last for 264 years. 905: The Tulunid Dynasty in Egypt is destroyed by an Abbasid army sent to reestablish control over the region of Egypt and Syria. 909: Sicily came under the control of the Fatimids' rule of North Africa and Egypt until 1071. From 878 until 909, their rule of Sicily was uncertain. 909: The Fatimid Dynasty assumes control of Egypt. Claiming descent from Fatima, daughter of the Prophet Muhammed, and Ali bin Abi Talib, the Fatimids would rule Egypt until being overthrown by the Auyybids and Saladin in 1171. 911: Muslims control all the passes in the Alps between France and Italy, cutting off passage between the two countries. 912: Abd al-Rahman III becomes the Umayyad Caliph in Andalusia. 916: A combined force of Greek and German emperors and Italian city-states defeat Muslim invaders at Garigliano, putting Muslim raids in Italy to an end. 920: Muslim forces cross the Pyrenees, enter Gascony, and reach as far as the gates of Toulouse. 929: Abd al-Rahman III transforms the Emirate of Cordova into and independent caliphate no longer under even theoretical control from Baghdad. 935 - 969: The rule of Egypt was under the Ikhidid dynasty. 936: The Althing, the oldest body of representative government in Europe, is established in Iceland by the Vikings. 939: Madrid is recaptured from Muslim forces. 940: Hugh, count of Provence, gives his protection to Moors in St. Tropez if they agree to keep the Alpine passes closed to his rival, Berenger. 953: Emperor Otto I sends representatives to Cordova to ask Caliph Abd al-Rahman III to call off some Muslim raiders who had set themselves up in Alpine passes and are attacking merchant caravans going in and out of Italy. 961: Death of Abd al-Rahman III, generally regarded as the greatest of the Umayyad caliphs in Andalusia. Under his rule, Cordova became one of the most powerful centers of Islamic learning and power. He is succeeded by Abdallah, a caliph who would kill many of his rivals (even family members) and has captured Christians decapitated if they refuse to convert to Islam. 961: Under the command of general Nicephorus Phokas, the Byzantines recapture Crete from Muslim rebels who had earlier fled Cordova. 965: Byzantine Emperor Nicephorus Phokas reconquers Cyprus from the Muslims. 965: Grenoble is recaptured from the Muslims. 969: The Fatimid dynasty (Shi'ite) takes Egypt from the Ikshidids and assumes the title of caliphate in Egypt until 1171. 969: Byzantine Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas reconquers Antioch (modern Antakya, capital of the province Hatay) from the Arabs. 972: The Fatimids of Egypt conquer north Africa. 972: The Muslims in the Sisteron district of France surrender to Christian forces and their leader asks to be baptized. 981: Ramiro III, king of Leon, is defeated by Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir (Almanzor) at Rueda and is forced to begin paying tribute to the Caliph of Cordova. 985: Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir sacks Barcelona 994: The monastery of Monte Cassino is destroyed a second time by Arabs.

Originally from the steppe country around the Caspian Sea, the Seljuks are the ancestors of the Western Turks, present-day inhabitants of Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. August 08, 1002: Death of Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir, ruler of Al-Andalus, on the way back from raiding the Rioja region. 1004: Arab raiders sack the Italian city of Pisa. 1007: Birth of Isaac I Comnenus, Byzantine emperor. Founder of the dynasty of the Comneni, Isaac's government reforms may have helped the Byzantine Empire last longer. 1009: Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, founder of the Druze sect and sixth Fatimid Caliph in Egypt, orders the Holy Sepulcher and all Christian buildings in Jerusalem be destroyed. In Europe a rumor develops that a "Prince of Babylon" had ordered the destruction of the Holy Sepulcher at the instigation of the Jews. Attacks on Jewish communities in cities like Rouen, Orelans, and Mainz ensue and this rumor helps lay the basis for massacres of Jewish communities by Crusaders marching to the Holy Land. 1009: Sulaimann, grandson of Abd al-Rahman III, returns over 200 captured fortresses to the Castilians in return for massive shipments of food for his army. 1012: Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, founder of the Druze sect and sixth Fatimid Caliph in Egypt, orders the destruction of all Christian and Jewish houses of worship in his lands. 1012: Berber forces capture Cordova and order that half the population be executed. 1013: Jews are expelled from the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordova, then ruled by Sulaimann. 1015: Arab Muslim forces conquer Sardinia. Will Europeans be able to hold back and push out the Caliphate this time? I have serious doubts. View Quote |

I wouldn't count on the Majority of Germany preparing for much beside Merkel getting re elected yet again. Maybe the arfcom equivalent in Germany is preparing but the people I talk to have zero concern about anything. My interpretation of Germany is they are still very much ruled by group think. Just as in the 40s. Doesn't seem like much has changed. PC is good, and everything is fine. They just raided 30 homes yesterday for non pc mean language on social media. That says a lot doesn't it.

Of course I have a good policy for Western nations.
Accept that muslim ideology is incompatible with Western cultures/nations. Allow no more muslims in. Deport all the muslims that you can. This is not 100%. Remaining muslims will be a threat for the foreseeable future. |

Where did Swede refer to you specifically? You seem to have self-identified as one of the "usual suspects". Why are you asking Swede to research an assumption you just made about yourself? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

In the past few weeks you've started showing up in these threads. I've never seen you post anything of value. This thread is no different. Just a vague statement about European posters with nothing to back it up. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

And in this thread we see Europeans doubling down on "nothing to see here, everything is ok" This is why we mock you for your sheer unadulterated stupidity and apparent incapacity for independent appraisal of information. The very definition of low information people propagating fake information for other low information people. If you want a real appraisal, try asking Europeans about it, instead of telling them all about their own countries from 3000 miles away, having never set foot outside of the coddling security blanket of Uncle Sam. Thankfully there are good people on here in sufficient numbers who are able to make the conversations interesting and informative - often by PM - while the brain trust squabble over their fake news which has suddenly become gospel.

You seem to have self-identified as one of the "usual suspects". Why are you asking Swede to research an assumption you just made about yourself? Yes he did quote your post. He also mentioned the usual suspects. Note the plural in "suspects". This implies there is more than one usual suspect, and doesn't mention you specifically by name. The statement was open for you to either agree or disagree with him, and even provide some context in your answer to help inform your position. Instead you aligned yourself with the the "usual suspects" by your own volition, and then went directly into victim mode. As I said...you are out of your depth, son. All you have done is make an inane statement and then become remarkably defensive when someone quoted your stupidity and made a non-specific statement about people mistaking memes for reality. I suggest you either provide some context to your argument, or simply toddle off and leave the debating and discussion to the adults who can function without falling back immediately to victim mode at the first presumed sign of disagreement. |

Same the world over, mate. There is no news to be had in the fact that 100s of millions of independently minded John and Jane Does went to to work today, as they always do, did their job to the best of their ability and went home to their family after a largely uneventful day without crisis. The advent of 24hr news where the networks are scrambling to sensationalise any and all bouts of human tragedy, stupidity and villainy has long failed to serve a purpose in accurately informing the John Does of this world about the genuinely newsworthy events thats that are of real interest.

I for one don't believe "Europe is fucked" at least not anymore then anywhere else. There is a lot of shit going on over there, here too. You have problems that stem from "refugees" we have not quite as much of that but plenty "thugs" and "crazies" doing shit over here. But to say things aren't bad is jus silly. As far as Europe "being fucked", nah, the good guys haven't gone on the offensive yet, here or there. Things aren't fucked until that battle happens and the good guys lose. |

Your reading comprehension is shit, "son" (lol do you feel grown up?). Any ways, you quoted me, so you were speaking to me. You even said "you" while commenting about my post which you quoted.

On the contrary my special little snowflake friend. My reading and comprehension are spot on. "You" and "your" can be used collectively as well as singularly.

Hey, why are you fighting guys?
To the american guys out there I would like to say not to believe all the fake news the media and the web want to sell us. It's like we, the europeans, would believe that in the Usa the majority of peolple is against Trump and every day there would be hundred thousands protesters on the streets. We have our problems and it's undeniable but it's not how someone want to depict. |

As far as Europe "being fucked", nah, the good guys haven't gone on the offensive yet, here or there. Things aren't fucked until that battle happens and the good guys lose. Europe's problem are far wider ranging than simply refugees and immigration. Problems involving those people are simply symptoms of a much wider issue and have been a century in the making. The root cause of the problem in Europe is ill conceived politically motivated decision making, mostly at the hands of a rabidly left wing and liberal mentality which believes it is entirely possible to take responsibility for dealing with global and domestic issues on a continental scale. It's the same mentality that propagates a belief that being dominant or successful is somehow a bad thing, and that believes by application of the politics of division and envy they can somehow forcibly melt the world together through sheer force of pressure, and to all with the consequences. This isn't just a European phenomenon ether. It's happening in the US, Australia and a range of other areas of the world. In effect it creates a sense of entitlement, resentment, anger and frustration across the board. It tries to apply inequality to create equality, and suppresses aspirations for success earned by good honest work and ambition. Globalisation is inevitable. We have modern transport, media and increasing awareness of the differences between people defined by the left as the "haves" and Have-nots". What you cannot do is force Globalisation to occur as has been happening for the last two decades or more. It can only happen naturally and with appropriate controls to ensure that the pace of change is not high enough to cause conflict, resentment and detriment to others. The aspiration should be to bring everybody up to the same level, not to try and create wealth by dividing it, which is an inherently destructive process. |
