When issues with Islam are brought up (e.g., it being taught in public schools, though some students say it's on a historical context) defenders of it being taught tend to range from Muslims to secularists. There's not much in-between. Usually the secularists attack Christianity bringing up the Crusades, a common topic that supposedly exposes the religion for immense wrongdoings, and if the person who has issues with Islam is an American they'll say that America has been been raging war for the past 200 years across the globe. My favorite counter of those who try to make the Americas be on the defense is "it's all been verified."
Both of these talking points ignore the subject matter at hand and tend to build their talking points off of inaccurate history with poor analysis.
The Crusades:
The wars America has been have many, but a good historical exercise is to learn the motivations of entering a particular war and to see if these motivations later changed once involved.
