Upding for the math…. 2010 - 622= 1388 is the same thing I tell people.
Islam hasn’t had a Renaissance, a Reformation, a Scientific Revolution or an Enlightement YET.
And in 1388, neither had Europe.
The big fear is the 14th century psychology (and by no means am I saying all Muslims have that psychology— the radical Fundamentalists, however, do) mixed with 21st century weapons. If a crusader had had a nuke, he’d have used it.
It’s very scary but you’re absolutely right that it’s not an excuse to paint all 1.1 billion Muslims with an extremist brush.
