Yes, your ancestors and mine and everyone else's on this board, whether they care to admit it or not. You speak the truth here.
Mythology tends to idealize one side and villify the other. Crusaders almost never reached the iddle East -- the place they set to go to in order to defend Christ's grave from the "infidels." They would get too distracted raping and pillalging Christian cities on their way that they had more than enough fun and loot to cut their excursions short.
One of the biggest mistakes in invoking the moral fiber of history is that fact that it is almost always "out of context." Trying to imply some modern 21st century moral outrage on illiterate and pagan Illyrians is a joke only and idiot can use as an "argument."
