Interaction of Christianity and Islam Prior to the 20th Century

I would like to propose that the historical interaction between Christianity and Islam prior to the 20th century be given its own thread. There seems to be a lot of off topic posts and historical misinformation appearing in Jar's thread So let's look at why the Islamic world might be annoyed by the West?To start, lets at least get the chronology right:Roman history
476 Fall of Western Roman Empire
1453 Fall of Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire to Ottoman EmpireIslamic history
622 Hijra - Mohammed flees to Medina
632 Death of Mohammed, Islam mainly limited to Arabian penninsula
750 Islamic states range from Spain to Pakistan
1096 First Crusade, crusades last 250 years
1299-1923 Ottoman Empire, siege of Vienna 1529"The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an Empire" - Voltaire. There is no continuous historical relationship, meaning one did not come from the other, between the Roman and Holy Roman Empires.
800 Crowning of Charlemagne, basic start of Holy Roman Empire
1806 Holy Roman Empire dissolved (Napoleon's fault)Suggest we put it in coffee house and see what happens. History prior to 20th century only, current situation off-topic.
