:Not a defense against an Islamic invasion? Do you know how much of Christian Europe was conquered by Islamic hordes before we pushed them back?

::I'd by lying if I said I was super well-read in medieval history(my strongest area of history is the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries), and I'll take your advice and read up on it, and continue my involvement with this article when I have more knowledge.
