It is extremely violent.

It takes basically the whole of the Middle East, most of which, by the way, was Christian by force.

Islamic armies move north into Europe.

They move east into Asia.

They move south into Africa.

They create multiple Islamic empires, many times four to five empires at the same time.

The Umayyad, the Abbasid, the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, the Mughal Empire in India, obviously, ultimately, the Ottoman Empire in Turkey.

The crisis of Islam comes when the Ottoman Empire collapses because it's the last caliphate.

And you'll notice that the Muslim Brotherhood is formed right after that, 1928.

That's when Hassan al-Banna, an Egyptian schoolteacher, forms what is now the most powerful organization of radical Islam in the world.

Notice that nothing is going on in Israel.

The Jews don't have a state.

Israel is not even going to be founded for another 20 years.

This is long before World War II.

And so radical Islam is already mobilizing to sort of restore its lost glory starting in the 1920s.

Now, let's fast forward to Iran.

I want to talk for a moment about what Myron talked about in the 1950s.

First of all, Mohammad Mosaddegh was not democratically elected.

The Iranian people did not vote for him.

He didn't get any kind of majority.
