Institutionalized discrimination isn't savage enough for you?
Do me a favor and purchase The Dhimmi: Jews & Christians Under Islam by Bat Ye'or. She uses primary sources from Islamic Spain to paint a realistic picture of what really happened during the Muslim conquest.
Do some research on Granada and the assassination of Samuel Ibn Naghrela, and his son Joseph from 1056 to 1066. Also look at the 3000+ Jews that were killed after the assassination.
There's many other instances of "muslim savagery" but I'm not gonna waste anymore time typing stuff that you're gonna ignore.

King Tech Quadafi:
Many Muslims look back at Muslim Spain with pride. But Jews also call it their "golden era". Spain became part of the Islamic world at the beginning of the eighth century. Under Muslims Spain became the center of civilization. Although many local Spaniards embraced Islam, Christians and Jews were free in all aspects of their lives. The Muslims respected their religion and institutions. The result was the birth of the first true cosmopolitan culture in the West. Christians studied alongside Muslim scholars to such a degree that in 854, a Christian named Alvaro of Cordoba complained that these students were forgetting their own religion and culture. Muslims and Christians of Spain did not live in their ghettos, isolated and not cooperating in various aspects of daily life together. It was in Spain that Aristotle's works on physics and natural history were translated into Arabic from Greek in Muslim Spain. Historians generally acknowledge that the Muslim world proved to be a major conduit of ancient scholarship into the West, especially through Muslim Spain. It wasn't just Muslims and Christians who thrived in Spain, though. Jews, who were reviled and hated elsewhere, were not only living safely and peacefully alongside non-Jews in Muslim Spain, they were learning and contributing to its culture and knowledge which Muslim scholars had established. But this success in wealth, knowledge and co-existence came to end in a violent and very sad way. As Christian Crusaders of Spain expelled Muslims, civilization that took centuries to build was destroyed. Muslims and Jews were either expelled or forced to convert to Christianity. Millions died as tolerance was replaced by the Spanish Inquisition. A suspected Muslim was to be killed for the smallest act resembling Islamic tradition - such as taking a bath on Friday.
Furthermore faggot, not understanding the context of the discussion hinders meaningful discourse. Especially, when the term Islamic colonialism becomes systematically attached to any form of foreign Muslim authority. Was Spain the home of religious tensions? Of course, it was. Was it the Islamic faith that propogated these tensions?
No, youd have to dwell deeper into the politics of the time. Tell me, Englewood, are you referring to:
The Dependent Emirate (711-756)
The Independent Emirate (756-929)
The Caliphate (929-1031)
The Almoravid Era (1031-1130)
Decline (1130-1492)
^ Everyone of these periods was marked by shifts in authority. From Maliki Muslims based in N. Africa, to localized Muslims resisting Arab domination. But of course, to hicks worldwide, a Moooslim is a Mooooslim.
Let me know the next time you want the bus boy to take you to school again. Overseer, Englewood just took a bullet for u.
