Jihad in the West - The Holy War that isn't P2

Jihad in the West  by Paul Fregosi
Introduction: The Holy War That Isn't
Paragraph 2

The jihad has been the most unrecorded and disregarded major event of history. It has, in fact, been largely ignored. For instance, the Encyclopedia Britannica gives the Crusades eighty times more space than the jihad. In the New South Wales State Library there were 108 entries listed in the catalog cards for Crusades, but only two for jihad! The jihad has been largely bypassed by Western historians. The jihad has affected the lives - and continues to do so - of far, far more people and regions in the world than the long extinct Crusades ever did.
