No. Next topic.
The Muslims looted, murdered, enslaved and raped their way out of Arabia, through the fertile crescent, into Egypt, into Sicily and Southern Italy, across North Africa and into the Iberian peninsula, France and even the Alps and into Iran LONG before the Crusades. My only regret is they weren’t more successful and didn’t totally exterminate him.
The jihad could never be more intense than when the muslims butchered nine out of ten Hindus in India. They almost wiped out the Hindu population. Later, the Turks could have cared less about the Crusades when they went scorched earth on the the Balkans for several centuries. The Otto-Turks never took Islam seriously and simply loved waging war. Their religion was merely convenient for them.
The reason the Ottomans conquered Islam was because they were skilled fighters. Fanaticism could not compete with their horse archery and cunning.
Within a few years of Mohammed’s death, the jihadists had fought their way across formerly Christian North Africa, through Spain and into France.
They later conquered the Holy Land, and almost all of south-eastern Europe, and fought their way all the way into Austria.
After that they controlled the Mediterranean and imposed a dark age on Europe as trade was cut off and it became dangerous even to live on the coast due to slavers and pirates.
Or did the jihad intensify the Crusades?
They should have finished them off the first time around :p
For centuries, Muslims have been following the Koran ‘s command to murder all non-Muslims until Islam rules the world. Neither wishful thinking or rewriting world history will change the facts of that murderous, satanic lust for conquest.
Our children are being taught to submit tio Islam in our government schools by being indoctrinated with misinformation on its terrible history. Allah is not the same as our Judeo-Christian knowledge of God.
I could care less about if the crusades make them more violent. They are killing people now and need to be eliminated.
Had the crusaders the gumption to do the job, ...
They need the Eagles for starters: "Get over it": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-Y7MAASkg
Bump
The Crusades were started because of the Jihad......”nuff sed”
The poor peaceful jihadis somehow found themselves killing infidels in Spain and France 300 years before the first crusade.
The politically correct, bleeding heart, GODless libs would have you, and especially the low information crowd, believe that, but the Crusades were in RESPONSE to jihad. We need a Crusade now to save Western Civilization!
No the Crusades were a reaction by Christians to the Islamist animals stunts.
Islam spread via conquering and violence from the moment Mohammed had the vision that had permission to loot/raid during the holy month and kill those who would not convert.
That happened before he even conquered Mecca, much less before Islam spread throughout Arabia.
God raises up people for specific reasons. The Babylonians were used to judge Judah for their abominations especially child sacrifice. Nothing new under the sun except that today only 6 nations outlaw pre-born genocide.
Outlaw all child sacrifice for a reprieve. Pray for a worldwide revival. God’s judgment will happen but I am hoping He will warn the world before the two prophets of Revelation.
This explains the Sunni Muslims reasons for promoting Jihad against any one non-Muslim of the Sunni sect.
However, the Shia Muslims seem to be equally vicious against non-Muslims.
So it seems that the real culprit in all this hatred and animosity is Islam itself.
