>3. The Arabs came and "stole" the land.

...the Arabs no more "stole" the land than Ashurbanipal stole Egypt...the trouble with our nationalists...like Minime and Aprim is that they're proud of being ignorant. If they knew anything they'd know that all nations are "stolen" from those who occupied the land before....in international law might is still right...look at the United States.

...the Arabs had every right to go looking for lands to conquer...everyone else was doing it...the good thing, I guess, is that the Arabs protected the Christians sects in the lands they conquered, from abuse and persecution and really high taxes imposed by the Byzantines...meaning other Christians.
