Yes i agree, We in america tend to forget the crusades and offer that they were 800 to 1000 years ago but the Muslims live there...the castle ruins are still there storys probably passed down from there fathers ect. Its living history to them but we in the west tend to forget about it and dismiss it as history. Although this gives them no right to do the foolishness there doing now.
The Irish still keep the Churches Cromwell burned down as a reminder but I don't see any Paddy's taking an Air Lingus into Buckingham Palace.
