No, learn to read. What I'm saying is that it isn't one of the biggest genocide in human history. That's bullshit, plain and clear, but coming from you what I could have expected. Every conqueror does bad things, but it's tiresome to see that when someone thinks of slaughters, people think in Spaniards in America. There have been tons of much bigger slaughters than what Spaniards and Portuguese did, but they aren't remembered every time people talk about conquers. Imagine what would have happened to native Americans if UK/USA would have conquered Mexico, Central and South America. They would have been treated in a much worse way, decimating them, keeping them in reserves and letting them make casinos. A worse slaughter is what Muslims do in every place they conquer, but is something politically incorrect to say. |
When did muslims slaughter the people they conquered? Enslave, convert, and destroy culture, sure. If the muslim invaders wouldn't have burned every library in persia, I bet we would still have been able to admire the rich musical legacy of ancient persia, which has been lost. But they didn't slaughter people.
The way I see it, both the christian and muslim religions have plenty of knowledge and culture destruction on their track records, if that was what you were talking about.
I LOVE ICELAND!
