Ok, let’s talk about the crusades, originally organized to rescue people abducted and carried off into slavery by muslims.

As well as to drive the moslems out of Christian lands that they had conquered with savagery and barbarity and treated Christians with the same brutality we can see in Isis and Al Shabaab and Boku Haram and Al Qaeda, etc ad infinitum.
Murder, death, rape, pillage, conquest, slavery... the foundation stones of the anti-religion called islam. Over the centuries, in India muslim conquerors killed 80 million people. 80 million. That’s eight zero million.
“Hizli said the pontiff’s comment “reflected a modern color of the crusader wars launched in these lands for centuries.”
If I had my way, any current “crusade” would last about an hour.
Again...history has been shown that the Crusades were in a direct response to Islamic aggression spreading in that region and threatened Christianity. ...such a statement only brings attention to how backwards Islam is and those that follow that death cult of perverted child molesting...women hating...submissive mind set that has been wrapped up in a religious cloak....
When Obama hears about this guy bashing Christians for the Crusades and the Inquisition...
He’ll join in the bashing ...
Barry Soetoro is a communist, a homosexual, a mohammedan, and abortionist, and a supporter of terrorism, and a tyrant.
Maybe we ought to piss off the Turks even more by referring to this sad period in history as the Turkish Jihad against the Armenians. Remind them of their twisted religion and the people of the world that radical Islam played a large part in this genocide.
Free Constantinople Now!
The Seljuk Turks turned to Islam as their religion, and it was against their cruelty that the First Crusade was mounted.
The genocide of their Armenian predecessors is not a new thing to them. Such annihilation is a part of the Turkish history. It was the Ottoman Muslim Turks that were stopped from expanding further west than Vienna by Jan Sobieski, but who occupied eastern Europe for hundreds of years until World War One, when they were defeated and destroyed.
It was in this time that the Armenian genocide took place. Wherever they have gone, the Turkish Muslims when in control have treated the subjugated people (Greeks, Romanians, Albanians, etc.) as lower than dogs, fit to be killed at the whimsy of any of their Muslim overlords.
This is exactly why the recent Bosnian war they experienced the desire of their victims to annihilate Islamism from that area. We in the USA should take note of this whole process. If these Mohmmedans take root here and multiply, they will do the same.
The Pope is right, and the Turks complaining about the Crusades is a lame response to their nature, which is to exterminate any opposition to their culture.
Right now, they are in continual battle with the Kurds in the eastern part of Turkey, whom they would utterly destroy, if they could. The Kurds are now fighting just to exist, even though they are also Muslims. The Turks wish to completely stamp out Christianity.
That's the way I see it, and I've known them personally and how thy operate, for forty years.
.....Yet they too, in the course of time will fail against any efforts to get rid of the Christian faith, by killing Christians they produce new believers.
The Muslim Inquisition has lasted 1400 years.
The last crusade was in the mid 13th century. The latest muslime atrocity was ... wait, what is today?
Muslimes: Quit justifying your savagery by dredging up acts from a millennium ago, and address the very real offenses that you endorse every day through your inaction.
Your post #12 is an excellent summary.
I guess this means they are giving the Hagia Sophia and Constantinople back to the Christians?
How about condemning Turkey for letting terrorist fighters cross from Turkey into Syria and Iraq? How about condemning the genocide that's going on NOW?
What Pope Francis is saying is true, for sure. But it isn't going to make it easier to get Turkey to stop abetting Muslim terrorists.
When I was deployed to Uzbekistan I learned how closely Uzbeks in Central Asia identify with their Turkish cousins in Asia Minor. Many proudly claim to have one Turkish parent & Uzbek-Turk marriages are commonplace. I made a friend just by pointing out that Uzbekistan’s conversion to the Latin alphabet made it look like Turkiye outside our perimeter.
One Uzbek officer joked that since American Indians are descended from Sibero-Asians, “We Uzbeks headed west and conquered Constantinpole; we headed east and defeated Custer!” They also identify closely with Uighurs in west China.
The Turks I knew from active duty were pleasant enough but they were clearly secular & urban; Ataturk was their hero & we know what he thought of Islam (a pestilence out of Arabia). Their wives wore nonveiled Western garb just like the Uzbek girls who worked for us at K-2.
If Caliph Erdogan remosquifies Hagia Sophia, all bets are off only it will be rival Muslim empires squaring off at each other. Israel does not lie along the traditional invasion routes.
