	Out of time: Radical Islam Taking Over Europe & West Great news clip on islamisation of Europe. If these statistics don't wake you up, I don't know what will. Radical Islam is a grave threat to Europe, there is no denying this. Europe as we know it will be taken by Muslims within the next 100 years. It's time we stop being politically correct with Islam and confront it for what it is.

	Islam (History): A Muslim Goes to Europe, 922 AD In AD 922, a Muslim poet Ahmad Ibn Fadlan was sent to Northern Europe as an Ambassador. Ibn Fadlan was appalled by their customs---their wanton sexuality, their disregard for cleanliness, their cold-blooded human sacrifices. The book "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton upon which the film is based is inspired by Richard Frye's translation of ibn Fadlan's non-fictional account of his travels up the river Volga in the tenth century.

	Muslim warriors vs. Spain & El Cid EUROPEAN HERITAGE LIBRARY WWW.EUROHERITAGE.NET From the 8th century onward, Islamic fighters brought Jihad to the shores of Spain, quickly conquering nearly all of Iberia (Spain/Portugal). Initially, the conquest was a holy war to spread Islam by the sword. In this video (which is highly fictionalized), El Cid struggles to unite the Spanish kingdoms against a common Islamic invader (also using some breakaway Muslim units).
