“Well, the Crusades certainly weren’t Christian.”

Your screen name “Paladin” makes that particularly ironic. My junior high school (Catholic) was the “Paladins.”

In seriousness, yes, the Crusades got way out of hand and killed a lot of people that didn’t need killing -— innocent Jewish villages, in particular.

But the Crusades really started as a largely defensive war against invading Jihadis.
