On a historical note, all the 'traditional' lands the west has come to
'accept' as Muslim were, by word of mouth persuasion, Christian and
were 'converted' to Islam by the sword. I mention it because that is
the 'model' the fundamentalists believe in and act upon.

True. On the other hand, non Muslims had a much easier time existing
under Muslim rule than non Christians had living under Christian rule.

Interesting idea. Please provide supporting documents for the past
1400 years.
