JIhad in the West - The Holy War in the West P10

Jihad in the West  by Paul Fregosi
Introduction: The Holy War That Isn't
Paragraph 10

Although there have been Jihads in the three old continents, I have limited this history to Europe. The world is too vast a stage. Asia, particularly the formerly Christian Near East and Central Asia, and the subcontinent of India undoubtedly deserve the history of their own jihads also. So does Africa,with the Muslim conquest of old Christian Egypt and North Africa, as well as large parts of West and East Africa with animist and black tribal religions. But for this first general history of the jihad, Europe provides sufficiently extensive setting.
