PUSHING PAST THE HISTORICAL REEDS

Here's a real gem I found floating out there in cyberspace from a wit who calls himself Cantor:

I want my 40 acres and a camel! For the over one million Europeans (and early Americans) enslaved by Muslims:

Historian Robert Davis in his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters - White Slavery In the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy", estimates that North African Muslim pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans between 1530 and 1780. These white Christians were seized in a series of raids which depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall.

Not really news to some of us, but for those who appease and apologize for these Arab thugs, perhaps an eyeopener.
