Political "Old School" said define your conquered enemies into ideologically-separated and easily-defeated strata (sound familiar?). As organized western religions were well past the Crusades, few, if any, political minds recognized the umbra of Islam as a supra-uniting ideology. Muhammad seemed like "small ball" at the time, I'm sure. Western democracies shall have to find the will to resist or shall die. |
