IS THE WEST TO BLAME FOR MUSLIM TERROR AND ISIS? - Islam's history is one of violent conquest, following the dictates of its sacred texts

Numerous journalists and politicians warn the West not to intervene in the Middle East to stop the advance of the Islamic State group, otherwise known as ISIS and ISL  They fear it could unleash more terror worldwide.  
 
The Canadian Parliament is having a heated discussion over this issue, with the ruling Conservatives intending to limit ISIS depredations with aerial bombings, while the Liberals and the NDP (socialists) advocate for only humanitarian assistance.    The government says Let's bomb them, while the opposition says Let's allow them to do as they want, we'll just help whoever manages to survive. 
 
What unites Hawks and Doves, however, is their unanimous agreement that Israel must be partitioned to soothe Palestinian nationalism.  Denying the Arabs another state (they already have 21) might make them angrier and more prone to unleash mayhem. 
 
Never mind Israel's historical and legal rights to Judea and Samaria (the west bank of the Jordan river).  Never mind that Muslims came into this region as conquerors and occupiers originally from the Saudi peninsula, and later from other parts of the Middle East.  
 
To help us sort through the whitewashing of Islam, here are a few articles that deal with the historical truth about Muslim imperialism, all corroborated by Islam's own historians.  

Map of expansion of Caliphate.svg
Illustration:  Muslim conquests - Expansion from the years 622 to 750 only - It shows areas that today include Iraq, Syria, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Northern Africa and even Spain and Portugal.   That was just the beginning.  Later on those conquests expanded considerably.
Muslim Conquests

Today expansion is mainly done by immigration to the West.  Europe, with the low birth rate of its original population, is bound to have a Muslim majority before the end of the century.  Churches are already being turned into mosques.  Neighborhoods, and often entire cities, are falling under Muslim control.

Islam is not an ideology of peace, but one of conflict and conquest. 
  • Muhammad said in many places that he has been "ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger."  In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that.
  • Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them under submission to Islam.  Within the first few decades following his death, his Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands.   
  • A mere 25 years after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had captured land and people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.

ISIS is the true Islam as it follows sacred texts

Violent conquest is part of Islam's DNA.  It's in their sacred texts, and started right off with their prophet Muhammad's initial expansion from within the Saudi peninsula. 

It continued all over the Middle East, Africa, India, even Europe. 
 
These were bloody conquests - the Convert-Or-Die type of warfare that ISIS is applying these days, and which misinformed western leaders tell us is "not real Islam".

Raymond Ibrahim writes:

The colorful accounts contained in the Muslim tradition are typified by constant warfare, which normally goes as follows: Muslims go to a new region and offer the inhabitants three choices: 1) submit (i.e., convert) to Islam; 2) live as second-class citizens, or “dhimmis,” paying special taxes and accepting several social debilitations; 3) fight to the death.
 
It should also be noted that, to Muslims, the Islamic conquests are seen as acts of altruism: they are referred to as futuh, which literally means “openings”—that is, the countries conquered were “opened” for the light of Islam to enter and guide its infidel inhabitants. Thus to Muslims, there is nothing to regret or apologize for concerning the conquests; they are seen as for the good of those who were conquered (i.e., the ancestors of today’s Muslims).
From The Whitewashing of Muslim Imperialism

The Muslim conquest of Jewish land.
 
Judea had been defeated by the Romans, who then renamed the land "Palestine" in an attempt to erase all memory of the Jews.  But in spite of so many Jews who had been enslaved by the Romans or who had fled the war, many Jews remained in Judea-Palestine.  When Arabs invaded the land, they found Jews living there.

In the centuries between the Roman dismantling of the Jewish sovereign state and the Arab invasion, the Jewish population had "remained as before the loss of independence, primarily peasants and landowners."
 
The Jewish population -- between five and seven million in A.D. 70, according to Josephus -- still numbered around three million, despite large numbers of Jews who were deported or had fled just before the Jewish revolt and defeat of Bat Kochba (by the Romans).
 
According to Roman figures, nearly 600,000 Jews alone fell during that revolt, but the Jews managed to remain on the land and to accomplish significant achievements afterward.  
From The Islamic Conquest's Plunder of Palestine
 
Many of the Arabs who claim to have lived in Israel for thousands of years are actually the descendants of economic migrants who came to the land looking for jobs when Jews returning from exile transformed swamps and deserts into flourishing communities. 
From Immigration into Palestine
Substantial Arab immigration into Western Palestine from 1880-1948.
 

Since so many Palestinian Arabs refugees were newcomers, the United Nations decided that they could claim refugee status even if they had lived in the area for only two years - a concept never applied to any other refugee in the world.  UNRWA, their own refugee agency,  keeps them in camps indefinitely, in contrast to UNHCR that helps relocate all other world refugees. 

Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.

The greatest genocide ever
The one perpetrated on non-Muslims by Islam, and still ongoing.

It is estimated that Islam has killed at least 250 million non-Muslims throughout history, and victimized many more.  At least 80 million Indians were murdered by Islam.

One day in Prophet Muhammad's life
Hijra year 5 (627 AD), on the orders of Prophet Muhammad, almost nine hundred Jews of a Medinan tribe named Banu Qurayza were massacred by Muslims. The killing began early in the day, ending in torchlight. Those who escaped death were taken captive and sold at slave markets.

ISIS is the real Islam

No, Mr President, Islamics are the real Islam

Western leaders assure us that ISIS is not the real Islam
But Prophet Muhammad had hundreds of Jews beheaded in one single day.  And Saudi Arabia routinely beheads lawbreakers.
