This discussion is about "reclaimed lands sized by the Muslims". But since you brought it up, couldn't you say that Muslims now are rising up to reclaim lands sized by Americans? It was okay when Christians did it during the Crusades, but not okay for Muslims to do the same now?

This is point Obama was making, and the point you fail to see. The crusades were a military campaign in the name of our god, while ISIS is a military campaign in the name of their god. No one is saying ISIS is right or wrong, or even acceptable, but instead he is saying before we judge others we should re-consider our past actions. We've been here before, we've done this ourselves, all in the name of our god.

Being invaded or being attacked is two different things.

Iran, as a country and a military force, never initiated hostilities by invading another country (at least not in the past one hundred years). Iran did in fact invade Iraq, but only have Iraq attacked first. Outside of the Iran Iraq war (in which Iran was attacked), can you provide me a list where Iran deployed tens of thousands of troops into combat in a foreign country in the past one hundred years?
