Jepp:
Indien durfte die "islamische Toleranz" ebenfalls kennenlernen.
"From the time when Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, remarks Alain Danielou, the history of India becomes a long monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoilations, destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of 'a holy war' of their faith, of their sole God, that the Barbarians have destroyed civilisations, wiped-out entire races.
...
In the words of another historian, American Will Durant:
"...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within."

In Spanien:
"To keep Christians in their place it did not suffice to surround
them with a zone of famine and destruction. It was necessary also to
go and sow terror and massacre among them. Twice a year, in spring
and autumn, an army sallied forth from Cordova to go and raid the
Christians, destroy their villages, their fortified posts, thier
monasteries and their churches ..."

Sklavenjagd im Mittelmeerraum:
"Davis, by contrast, has calculated that between 1 million and 1.25
million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North
Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries.

“Enslavement was a very real possibility for anyone who traveled in
the Mediterranean, or who lived along the shores in places like
Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, and even as far north as England
and Iceland,” he said.
Pirates (called corsairs) from cities along the Barbary Coast in
north Africa – cities such as Tunis and Algiers – would raid ships in
the Mediterranean and Atlantic, as well as seaside villages to
capture men, women and children. The impact of these attacks were
devastating – France, England, and Spain each lost thousands of
ships, and long stretches of the Spanish and Italian coasts were
almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants."
