Archaeological Evidence Pops Up for Historical Jihad: A gruesome scene unearthed in Lebanon casts the right light on the "religion of peace."

A piece of history from the long war between Islam and Christendom was recently unearthed: a mass grave of 25 Crusaders who were attacked from behind and/or beheaded in the thirteenth century.  According to one report:

A team of international archaeologists uncovered the gruesome scene at Sidon Castle on the eastern Mediterranean coast of south Lebanon.  Wounds on the remains suggests the soldiers died at the end of swords, maces and arrows, and charring on some bones means they were burned after being dropped into the pit.  Other remains show markings on the neck, which likely means these individuals were captured on the battlefield and later decapitated[.] ... Archaeologists knew the remains belonged to Crusaders after discovering the European style belt buckles and a crusader coin within the graves.  DNA and isotope analyses of their teeth further confirmed that some of the men were born in Europe, while others were the offspring of crusader settlers who migrated to the "Holy Land" and intermarried with local people[.] ... The way the body parts were positioned suggests they had been left to decompose on the surface before being dropped into a pit some time later. Charring on some bones suggests they used fire to burn some of the bodies.

Archaeologists have determined that these Christians were likely slaughtered around the middle of the thirteenth century, around the time of the Seventh Crusade (1248–1254) of King Louis IX, better known as Saint Louis.

Interestingly, this discovery is a physical reflection and manifest proof of what history so vividly records from that era.  Then, the Mamluks — ferocious Islamic slave-soldiers who overthrew their Ayyubid masters —  came to power, first in Egypt in 1250 and then into the Levant.

History will repeat itself. Good people are forgiving and forgetting. Evil is always evil, and will lie to your face. Taqiyya.

"Wait. The Crusaders weren’t equally brutal?"

Find a story about an archaeological dig where muslim bodies that were slaughtered by Crusaders has been found.

RE: Wait. The Crusaders weren’t equally brutal?

I believe brutality was the order of the day back then, so the answer is ‘yes’. The magnitude of brutality in comparison to the Jihadist is something that must be investigated.
