You forgot pre-Crusades, and pre-Roman conquests, not to mention Christian attempts to conquer the world, which not only has been more effective than Muslim conquest, but still holds control of most of the territory they conquered. The Crusaders came from European countries, converted by the sword to Christianity. And, even worse, the insidious Christians still hold those lands.
