    But Sirhan was a Christian. Well actually, it said he dabbled in all these different Christian churches. We don't know if he was a Christian or not, but bottom line is that he wasn't a Muslim.

    I think it started in 1453 when Muslim armies sacked Constantinople.

    Probably. Then came the attacks on the Israeli Olympic athletes, Beirut barrack bombings, Achille Lauro hijacking, WTC I, African embassy bombings, USS Cole...

    Muslims attacked the city of Vienna twice, lastly in 1683. They occupied Hungary for 178 years. The myth of peaceful Islam is just that, a myth.

    Oh... absolutely. No doubt about it.

    [Sirhan was born in Jerusalem to a Palestinian Christian family. ]
