Quizzed About Current Muslim Extremism Threat, Mohyeldin Counters with Crusades
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/06/2014 4:58:53 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Remember this the next time you see a report by Ayman Mohyeldin. The man NBC sends to report on doings in Muslim countries around the world is unwilling to say which extremism—Christian, Jewish or Muslim—poses the greatest current threat to civilization.

When Joe Scarborough posed that very question to the NBC reporter on today's Morning Joe, Mohyeldin punted. Instead of talking about current threats, Mohyeldin reached back almost 1,000 years, countering with talk of the Crusades.

Why would any Christian be embarrassed by the crusades? They were a direct response to a problem we still have today.

Precisely. We need, today, a Crusade to rid the world of the Islamic scourge.

I am still waiting for someone, anyone, on these talking head shows to bring up the simple fact of HISTORY. Islam has been a murderous blood cult bent on world domination since its inception.

They don’t even have to SAY anything. Instead of Hannity yammering about “radical” Islam, all he has to do is put up a chart of Islamic aggression over the past 1400 years.

Muslims do not become “radicalized.” The entire warplan known as Islam has always been radical by its very nature.
It needs to be eradicated.

"The Crusades were vital for the continued existence of Christian Europe. Muslims were engaged in hundreds, perhaps thousands of raids throughout Europe. Spain, France and Italy were virtually lost."

The Crusades started when the muslims who were tearing through modern day Turkey slaughtering Chrisians were suddenly at the door of Constantipole threatening the same. The Pope in Constantinople asked the Pope in Rome for help. The result was the first "peasants" Crusade.
