The crusades were about pushing back.

obummer’s comments on the Crusades are more proof that he is a Muslim.

His comments are the Muslim version of the Crusades.

The Crusades were an effort to fight the Calephate, the very same problem we have today.

And the atrocities of the time were just warfare as it was fought. The Moslems, being Asians, were nastier.

The crusades never went to Arabia. They went to regions that had been Christian and then had been violently subjugated to Islam by the jihadists.

Even then, the numbers of deaths were relatively low after years of fighting.

Fox News has a Vatican report saying upwards of 100,000 Christians a year are dying for their faith.

And doing so with considerable success, it is worth noting, and with armies that were relatively small, very special forces, we might say.
