Of course Obama has to crush them. This is a modern equivalent of a Crusade.
Politically incorrect fact: The Crusade was a counter-offensive against the Islamist invasion of Europe.
Nope. By the time of the Crusade, Muslim presence was limited to part of the Iberian Peninsula. They'd been been expelled from southern Italy, Sicily, Cyprus and Crete. The Reconquest of Iberia was proceeding, though it was later itself classified as Crusade.
I agree the Crusades were a counter-attack, but the area at issue was the Holy Land.
