I guess I would use this as a decent response. It shows all the battles between Islam and Christians during the past 1400 years. This includes both the Crusades against Islam and Jihad against Christians animated in 20 year steps over the centuries.
This is not a new state of affairs. In fact, during Thomas Jefferson's term as president about 10% of the entire national budget was spent defending American shipping against Islam in the Mediterranean.
My brother in humanity, let me tell u I know that guy and watched his hate speech against Islam, just Like any other anti Islam- hate preachers, who take certan verses of the Quran out of context to fuel they hate campaign and ful the mass into Islamphobia. e.g the word jihad has more than just one meaning, the one all hate preachers fail to mention is the full meaning of the word jihad, e.g to try ur best to be a God fearing Person is included in jihad, to help others, it's all so jihad, to struggle, to tell the TRUETH, to give charity and not be greedy is jihad final conclusion of the word jihad in it's full context is, to always try ur best to help humanity any any way possible and always better ur self, and what every good u do is just to please the creator and not the creation, last but not least just to smile at others regardless of what ur going through is jihad.
The film contained zero hate or I would not have posted it.
It was a simple graphical animation of the pace and location of battles that have taken place since Muhammad began his blitzkrieg. One can certainly understand why there might be "phobia" given the history recounted here, but let each viewer draw their own conclusion as to which meaning of the word jihad applies.
I respect individuals opinion even if a strongly disagree with they opinion, but it's my duty as a Muslim, to point out misconception, and lies being spread about Islam. Direct them to the other side about Islam that hidden from them, and let them drew they own conclusion,
I found this recent post to be an accurate summary of what my studies of Islam have revealed. Are there any parts of it that are not correct? If so, how would you prove that your version is correct?

I hold up the history of Charles Martel (Charlemagne's grandfather) and the Battle of Tours in France exactly 100 years after Muhammad's death as a classic example of what was going on. Would you claim that the Islamic invaders that he stopped got the whole way across northern Africa and up through Spain to France by peaceful persuasion?
