You mean the "peaceful" Ottoman empire? Ever hear of Vlad the Impaler?
You mean the peaceful Persian empire? I know it's Hollywood, but the 300 movies are based on historical fact.
You mean the Muslim empire that joined the Axis powers in WWI?
Why stop there. The Romans had a great empire. So did the Brits - you all set to become a colony again?
I think that region was a lot nicer when it was ruled by the Romans and the Sassanids.
The medieval Caliphates weren't that peaceful since they were constantly at war with the Byzantines, occasionally went to war with the Visigoths and the Franks, and even fought each other at times. Even in their early days, the Caliphates were plagued by assassinations, succession struggles, civil wars, and military coups.
The first Caliphate only lasted 29 years before being toppled by a civil war.
In a sense, he's not even wrong. If everyone who disagrees with you (hereafter referred to as "evil infidels who hate God and must be destroyed!!!") is dead, the are will be very peaceful. 'Course, with groups like this, the snake inevitably eats the tail.
Unless they actually ressurrect one of the great Caliphs, it does not matter whether the Caliphate was peaceful historically; for the so-called Islamic State is made up of massacring, mass-raping, mutilating, monument-destroying, megalomanic monsters.
Also, it is no longer content to rule the islamic world; they want the entire planet.
Even if that were the end goal, the end does not justify the means. At all.
*sigh* Are people really like this?
Daesh don't want to re-establish anything; they want to force their garbled version of religion onto others, use women as sex-slaves and behead men left, right and center.
Saudi Arabia is more or less "ruling peacefully" in the region (as in it's a strong force in Arabic Asia). They behead a person every second day. If you think it's so peaceful to have your head chopped off, then go there and criticize, well, anything.
Newsflash: ISIS = an Islame ist version of the Borg.
Your culture will adapt to service theirs .
Even your death will be no biggie to them.
ISIS = The Taliban but more so. And the latter banned all electronic devices, including radios (thus no internet for you ! [/Modernism Nazi]), so welcome to your Hell, pal.
I'll stick with my Democracy based on Rule of Law: secular , thanks.

I have to disagree, The Borg at least don't go out of their way to cause needless suffering. And tend to ignore you if your neither a threat nor interesting. And their goals are, in a twisted way, noble: to uplift all species to perfection and eliminate strife, wether they want to or not.
No, I'd say IS is more like Species 8472 (absolute xenophobes who wish to purge all "unclean" life, aka everything that's not them) or the Dominion (religious xenophobic control freaks).
Or even Halo's Covenant. Weak minded yet bloodthirsty religious nuts controlled & manipulated by warmongering, power hungry psychopaths. And will exterminate entire ethnic groups just to hold on to that power.
*GAH!* Daesh isn't even "Islamic Golden Age" material! They'd probably find THAT era apostate (what with all that intellectualism, cleanliness, high standards of living, medicine, arts, science, mathematics, philiosophy, literature....). Daesh is the "Ms. Trunchbull" of Islam. Wahhabism is the "Ms. Trunchbull" of Islam! Daesh is the "Ms. Trunchbull" of Wahhabism.
DON'T BE A "MS. TRUNCHBULL"!....

....Really! It's not pretty! There's a reason why she's often called "The Trunchbull". She's less a big mean School Principal/"British Headmistress" Archetype and more of an inhuman ogre.
"NO COLOR! NO MUSIC! NO ART! NO LAUGHTER! NO DANCING! NO JOY! NO FUN! NO LIFE!"....Just like Wahhabism!
....Of course, the Big Wahhabi Terrorist Head Leader Guys enjoy the sensual delights behind closed doors!....

....Osama Bin Laden lived in big home with a huge porn collection!....

....Much like their Faux-"Christian" counterparts! "All for me and none for thee! I got mine...SCREW YOU!"
Those last two Trunchbull bits require Brain Bleach....
Here's Matilda being awesome....

@skybison,
It looks real. I just checked out this guy's tweets. He talked about how all of Europe has been oppressing the Muslims for centuries and how wonderful the Middle East was before then. That gosh darn Swedish Empire! But seriously, there's enough SJW crap there that he's a very good parody if he's not being serious.
Edit: Oh wow, I just checked out the main page of his Twitter. This guy is something alright.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
