“Resist and you will suffer the most terrible catastrophes.” Cowards alway talk a big game.

History: one Frank defeated on average 25 Saracens and ten Templars on average defeated 300 Saracens.

Why did some of the Crusades fail? Lacks of support.
And why did the Apollos stop at 16 in 1972? Lack of support.

If they wanted to, the Americans and Europeans could delete the Saracens today in day. If they wanted to.

The Mongols were not cowards I think?

Specifics aside, the general reason is due to the East/West split in the Church.
