Steve Weidenkopf, lecturer at Christendom Colleges graduate program, has written a readable, story-like book that provides a blow-by-blow account of the Crusades that simultaneously counters many of the myths that have sprung up around them.

Reality does not matter to a sociopathic narcissist. They live in their own contrived worlds.
Also Obama should read about the Barabary Pirate wars. “... From the shores of Tripoli”
He can’t read English, only liberalese.
He can’t read that as it might hurt his fairy boy feelings knowing we had to fight Muslims at the start of the country or near enough anyway. It also flies in the face of what he keeps saying how the country was founded and how muslims built the country.
I am glad to see that Christendom is still emphasizing history since the college’s founder, Dr. Warren Carroll, passed away.
Well, he has lectured us about getting off our high horse, and that terrible things happened in the name of Christ. The Crusades among them. Nothing will change his mind, as he thinks he knows everything to know about historic events such as the Crusades. And that Christians were on the “wrong” side of those events.
What I don’t understand is this — even if for sake of argument, we say that terrible things were done in history in the name of Christ, does that somehow excuse atrocities done in the name of Islam today???? That sounds like what he is implying, but that doesn’t make sense.
If anyone commits atrocities, they should be called to account for same. Not excused because some other religion, at other times in history, may have also done things which don’t fall in line with their theology.
He does not like white people, Jews, Christians, Republicans, conservatives, allies of the USA, or the United States of America itself. He is governing accordingly.
The sooner people realize this, the better. He should be impeached immediately.
Book ordering bookmark.
Even old movies about the Crusades told that story !
I don't know just when this factual history was rewritten, but those of us of a certain age know the facts.
Agreed ...he has his narrative and is sticking to it
[[A New History of the Crusades Obama Should Read]]
Facts don’t matter to people who hate Christians and Jews-
I predict this will get zero media attention. Meanwhile, Chelsea Clintoon made the cover of Elle.
The BIGGEST PROBLEM with the Crusades was that it was called “The Crusades”. As with just about anything, once you dig deep, you find that just about all you’ve heard is BIG LIE.
“Agreed ...he has his narrative and is sticking to it”
Just like every anti-Catholic. Facts be damned, right?
Jefferson’s War by Joseph Wheelan, and The Pirate Coast by Richard Zacks are good reads on the subject...
May St John the Baptist protect Islam...Pope St. John Paul II

The crusades were eventually toned down and stopped. The muslums never stopped, thats why we have such problems going on still to this day...
