And Luke, in the medieval Crusades, they were the aggressors then too--it was the ISLAMISTS who would not let the Christian Pilgrims into Jerusalem that started the whole dang thing...ef 'em...I can't stand their BS anymore.

"it was the ISLAMISTS who would not let the Christian Pilgrims into Jerusalem that started the whole dang thing" The Islamists also massacred the bulk of the Greek Army at Manzikert in 1071 A.D., leaving nothing to stop them from attacking the West except for the Crusaders going on offense. Islam is a warrior nation which has done nothing but conquer, murder, oppress and brutalize whomever they could, whenever they could.
