The Crusades were a response to Muslim conquest of Christian Holy Sites. They were a response to Byzantine request for aid against the Muslim aggressors
That is real history not the spin put on it by Leftist propaganda bots
I agree.
Here it is presented that they were only there to protect
Christians in the region. The fact is, they were taking the
battle to the region because of extreme Islamic adventurism.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the map for the Islamic
invasion of Europe, but Spain and parts North were under
fire. At least lower parts of Europe proper were attacked.
We’re talking France, and other areas that far North.
Of course Italy, Greece, and other areas were under attack
also.
This is a general recital. I’m trying to give a flavor of
what the true dynamics were, and if I’m off base a bit here,
it’s not by intent. If someone would like to correct any
errors they see, please feel free to do so.
I’m pretty comfortable the major thrust of my comments
will stand the test.
The author writes this article as if North Africa had always been Muslim.
North Africa had been largely Christian for 300 years before the Muslim hords had marched out of Arabia in the mid 600s AD.
Typical lib media. Start history where is supports the point you want to make.
Here there point is that Christianity is bad, Christians are evil and always have been.
