I already noticed it. Just because someone wrote a book doesn't mean it's true. The history of European colonialism is chock full of messed up shit. Muslims went on numerous conquests in the name of Allah. Genghis Khan alone killed innocents by the million. World history is full of humans being horrible to each other, and just because the US is currently the dominant power doesn't erase that.
