The Crusades were a measured, rational response to violent and unchecked Islamic invasion and colonization.


There's nothing a person says that more serves better to convinces me of their ignorance than when they use the “C” word. They use it as if it was a magical talisman that would make us crumble to the ground and eagerly convert to whatever they're peddling. People who believe the Crusades were somehow bad inevitably are wrong about both Christian and Muslim histories, and about the infamous and barbaric treatment of Christians under invading Muslim armies in Spain, Portugal and France between 711 and 1492.

The Crusades weren’t started by Christians or the Church. Instead, they were slow, measured, moral, reasonable and rational responses to violent and unchecked Islamic invasion and colonization. If anything, the Crusades were supremely holy when compared to the egomaniacal, selfish and hate-filled wars started by atheists between the 18th and 21st centuries. The Crusades were started to protect innocent Christians from being killed. Atheists start wars because they hate, are jealous and because they desire power. To be clear, every war started by Muslims has been, indeed a religious-inspired carnage but this doesn't mean that every other war was religious in nature. Islam teaches that war is perfectly in keeping with Allah’s capricious and vindictive nature.

Well, it was kinda like the Star Wars series - I mean when the 1st one came out it was awesome, the 2nd one was kind of a cliff hanger. By the third we had Ewoks. The 4th was a REAL mess and after that I really don't know what happened.

The Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) was a Latin Christian armed expedition called by Pope Innocent III. The stated intent of the expedition was to recapture the Muslim-controlled city of Jerusalem, by first defeating the powerful Egyptian Ayyubid Sultanate, the strongest Muslim state of the time.
