U.S. President Warns about Islam's March

Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States (1901-09), wrote the following in 1916: “Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the 7th and 8th centuries, and on up to and including the 17th century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated” (Roosevelt, Fear God and Take Your Part). Islam’s attempt to conquer Europe in the eighth century was thwarted in the east by the Byzantines and in the west by the Franks.
