Islam is the religion of about one billion people and is a rapidly growing faith, particularly in Africa but also elsewhere in the world. The United States, for example, boasts almost a million converts to Islam (plus an even larger number of Muslim immigrants). The last of the three major Middle Eastern monotheisms, Muslims believe that their faith improves on the earlier ones. In their telling, Judaism and Christianity are but defective variants of Islam, which is God's final, perfect religion.
If you go back far in history...
Adopting the world's clearly false, politically correct (PC) view of the place of the Crusades in history, Muslims have claimed the First Crusades were where the East first met the West, as if the Christians had invented the concept of a holy war against them. However, in examining the timing of many epoch events from 2 A.D. to 1099 A.D., sequentially prior to the First Crusades, they disprove that claim entirely.
East and West had been fighting for at least 1,500 years before the first Crusade. The Romans established by bloody military conquest colonies in Mesopotamia, northwestern Arabia, and Assyria in the second century A.D. The Greek, Alexander the Great, attempted to conquer all of Asia, as far as India, in the fourth century B.C. The Persians invaded Europe in an attempt to conquer the Greeks in the fifth century B.C.
In 624 A.D., Mohammed was a merchant in Arabia who had led a raid for booty and plunder against a Meccan caravan, killing 70 Meccans for mere material gain.
Between 630 A.D. and the death of Mohammed in 632 A.D., Muslims -- on at least one occasion led by Mohammed -- had conquered the bulk of western Arabia and southern Palestine through approximately a dozen separate invasions and bloody conquests. These conquests were in large part their own "Holy wars."
In 632 A.D., after Mohammed's death, the new Muslim caliph, Abu Bakr, launched Islam through invasion and war into almost 1,500 years of continual imperialist, colonialist, bloody conquest and subjugation of others, a role Islam continues to this very day.
From 632 A.D. to 661 A.D., Muslim conquests of the Levant, Christians suffered from the murderous invasions of Muslim conquerors who killed tens of thousands of Christians through four-and-one-half centuries of Muslim imperialist, colonialist conquest, made slaves and eunuchs of Christians for the pleasure of the caliphs, burned down or sacked the holiest churches in Christendom, robbed and killed thousands of Christians on holy pilgrimage, brutally sacked and pillaged Jerusalem, and pillaged the countryside of Israel.
In 732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martel.
In 1096–1099, the First Crusade started as a widespread pilgrimage (France and Germany) and ended as a military expedition by Roman Catholic Europe to regain the Holy Lands taken in the Muslim conquests of the Levant (632–661). The Crusaders ultimately won resulting in the recapture of Jerusalem in 1099 AD. The murderous and pillaging acts of the Crusaders when they entered Jerusalem were barbaric, unchristian, and evil. This is particularly so as those acts were carried on in the name of a religion of peace, love, and forgiveness to free the people of the Holy Land from their brutal masters and reclaim Christianity's holiest places for free Christian worship. Hatred had spurred the battles on as retributions were meted out in the victorious aftermath of the Crusades. Again, the bloody history of Islamic-Christian clashes did not end there; only to be fought in another day.
It illustrated the bitter divide between the Muslims against Christians and Jews which continues on with the violent actions of Muslims in the twenty-first century to regain their territorial claims with the annilation of Jerusalem Jews and establishment of a Muslim Palestinian State.
In 1571 AD the Muslim Army/Navy attacked southern Europe in the Battle of Le Panto and was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacked Eastern Europe and was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.
This fighting has been going on over 1,400 years. Most U.S. politicians don't even know about history which makes them clueless to understand the upcoming Muslim Caliphate in the Middle East!
On Infidels - Non-Believers...
Christianity would be non-existent if those battles had not been won; we would be all speaking Arabic.
Judaism certainly would have been annihilated... And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler's guest in Berlin who raised Bosnian Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions killing Jews, Russians, Gypsies, and any other types of 'subhumans'.
Reflecting..
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back. These Muslim atrocities are from recent history. ...over the past fifty years to present.
Do you remember?...
1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Muslim. In 1989, he told interviewer David Frost, "My only connection with Robert Kennedy was his sole support of Israel and his deliberate attempt to send those 50 bombers to Israel to obviously do harm to the Palestinians." Some scholars believe that the assassination was the first major incident of political violence in the United States stemming from the Arab–Israeli conflict in the Middle East.
2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, 11 Israeli athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslims.
3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach, it was blown up shortly after landing by Muslims.
4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslims.
5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over and 52 hostages taken 444 days by Muslims.
6. In the 1980's, Americans kidnapped with 25 hostages taken, two killed, in Lebanon by Muslims.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslims.
10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockerbie, Scotland bombing) was a Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit was bombed by Muslims killing all 259 passengers and crew on board.
11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was first bombed with 6 killed, 100 wounded by Muslims.
12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed with 258 killed and 5,000 injured by Muslims.
13. In 2000, the USS Cole was attacked by suicide bombers who killed 17 sailors, while in port in Aden, Yemen for refueling. The attack was attributed to al Qaeda Muslims and foreshadowed the attack on the U.S. less than one year later on September 11, 2001.
14. In 2001, on 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. About 3,000 people were killed by Muslims.
15. In 2002, the United States began a war in Afghanistan against al Queda and as of June 2014 up to 2,164 soldiers have been killed by Muslim terrorists.
16. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded in Afghanistan by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a Muslim.
17. In 2012, on 9/11/12, U.S. Benghazi diplomatic mission was attacked and four Americans killed including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Mgt. Officer Sean Smith, security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty by Muslim terrorists.
18. In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4 Innocent people including a child killed, 264 injured by Muslims.
The Obama 'Cut and Run' Doctrine has doomed the Middle East to war since theObama confers with Sec of State Hillary Clinton. Caliphate is now on the march, has not relented or been apologetic for any overt aggressions in the Middle Eastern region. Talking about peace is now over and that was all that Obama had anyway in his military arsenal after his Arab Spring 'feel-good' strategies for kumbaya moments. Now that U.S. foreign policy is in a hapless position, like Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone with the Wind', Obama says, "I'll think about that Tomorrow....After all, Tomorrow is another Day!" and so Obama has turned his attentions homeward ignoring any further military incursions abroad.
Obama clearly explains his Egyptian foreign policies.Here in the United States our major national policies are in flux due to those efforts being diverted to domestic issues by the Obama administration. Now American politics to bolster the outgoing Obama legacy is taking precedence over our defense, safety and well-being of the country. As an outgoing President he is looking for any disparate policy wins to seal his record accomplishments as he comes down to the finish line--it looks pretty slim too; and he knows it.
So Muslim History shapes Obama's future just like Jimmy Carter suffering under the Iran Hostage Crisis, except this time the President will not be alone.
- Hillary Clinton, the upcoming Democrat Presidential candidate, was absolutely complicit in crafting major Obama foreign policies and international relations while overseeing his failed affairs as U.S. Secretary of State--not exactly a steller record to stand on--it's really toxic political poison!
don't think Disney was really going for realism here. And since the Soviets were allies of America at the time, it wouldn't make sense for the propoganda to be against them.

True, but I think the point of the cartoon was to more or less exaggerate the way of life in Germany at the time in order to make people support the Allies. The idea of working "like slaves" might've come from the fact that Hitler put a lot of Germans to work, but that was actually a good thing for the German people and the economy, since before the Nazis there was rampant inflation and unemployment. (Of course, the regime was horrid, but not necessarily in the ways the cartoon says it was.)
