The victory of the ragtag army of European Christians and pagans at Tours, France in October 732 A.D. halted the Muslim military advance before it conquered all of Europe.
Muslim armies conquered North Africa, wiping out the strongest (?) bastion of Christianity, then invaded the Iberian peninsula, finally reaching the heart of France by 732.
In view of this most terrible case of military aggression, how are Islamic propagandists able to pass of the lie that Islam is a religion of "peace"?
Does "peace" mean "all of the infidels are converted or killed"? I.e., we won the wars!!
Anyway, I would like to see a discussion of this topic with the starter being the Battle of Tours.
Some hyperlinks follow.
