Bill Warren, Ph.D. is a physicist and mathematician and created a dynamic battle map showing the history of Islam's attack against Christianity and the Crusades response. Be prepared to be shocked And pissed every time some liberal brings up the Crusades in response to Islamic terrorism.

This is well done. Unfortunately, Muslims don’t want to be bothered by the facts.
S/B The Crusades for Dhimmis.
Logic and Truth?
Why would the lefties be interested in that?
It is our own citizens, teachers, and political leaders who don’t want to be bothered by facts. Political correctness is more important than truth. That is the frightening thing to me.
The crusades were in response to an invasion. They were a fight for survival. Like all wars, some bad things happened (rather normal in those days on either side when cities were sacked for bad stuff to happen), but the point of this video is valid and cutting through the politically correct revisionist history Europe would not exist today in its current form had it not been for the crusades.
The Crusades were a frigging joke.
They wrecked more Christian nations than Islamic.
They barely took the Holy Land, and we are talking about an area barely the size of Portugal.
They didnt hold it for very long.
But for some reason it’s seen as the ISIS of the 12 century.
In his book Fear God and Take Your Part, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt wrote:
“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, Whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought.
If the peoples of Europe in the 7th and 8th centuries, and on up to and including the 17th century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated.”
Theodore Roosevelt continued:
“Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.
From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Jan Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor.” - THEODORE ROOSEVELT
I never understand this reasoning.
The Crusades were almost a thousand years ago.
I don’t know the full details of the history of the Crusades.
But, if for sake of argument, we accept the premise that Christians fought wars of aggression against Muslims, and were violent then, how does it follow that this draws a “moral equivalence” between Christian violence almost a millennium ago with Muslim atrocities happening today???
Enclaves of Christians and Jews survived in Baghdad, Damascus and other places, I am just curious how that happened.

GOD must have made them ‘invisible.’
Outstanding.

I agree. They turned on Christendom itself. The fourth Crusade attacked the seat of the Eastern Church Constantinople, looted it and destroyed parts of it. This likely helped eventually the Muslim Turks successful victory years later.

Muslims can only collect the dhimmi tax if you are still living.
In India, many Hindus survived because the muslim leaders wanted the dhimmi tax.
