Islamic takeover of Europe feared 1338 years ago

Archaeologists excavating under London's Fleet Street during road works have unearthed a fragment of a seventh-century newspaper in which concern was expressed about the spread of Islam across North Africa and into Europe.

OK, ya got us. This little spoof appeared in the UK satirical magazine Private Eye in February of 2013. In 683 A.D., the followers of the Religion of Peace (TM) were, even then, engaged in not the First but the Second Islamic Civil War. 

In September of that year, Yazidi besieged the holy city of Mecca, and bombarded it with catapults. The Kaaba -- the holiest site in Islam -- was severely damaged, and the Black Stone inside it split into three pieces. It was later rebuilt, and the reassembled fragments of the Black Stone set into a silver frame, now remounted them in the Kaaba's eastern corner, where devout Muslims throw stones at it during the Haj.

There are still Yazidis in the Middle East, living mostly in "Kurdistan" -- the disputed territories of northern Iraq and eastern Turkey where both Sunni and Shia Muslims regularly attack them, and vice versa. 

The Islamists no longer attempt to invade Europe by force of arms. Nowadays they do it as "refugees" and "asylum-seekers" who cross the Mediterranean from North Africa by the 1000s and are welcomed by the bleeding heart liberals and others  (Hello George! Hello Francis!) trying to preciptate the end of Christian civilization.
