I promise that I won't give you the crusades bs. But only because those who perpetrated the crusades were "Christians" in name only.

As for the rest of your comments, they are spot on. Those who hate Christians and Jews are tools in the hands of Satan - just as much as those who do evil in the name of Judaism or Christianity.

The Crusades weren't "perpetrated", they were Europe's reaction to Islamic expansionism.

Don't forget, until it was overrun by the Muslims the Holy Land was in large part Christian.

Furthermore, Europe itself was in danger of being overrun.

When it comes to the Crusades, the West has no need to apologize.

I would like your argument better if you did not equivocate.

You might lơk at Hillaire Belloc's "Crusades". It is the best short(1 volume) account and explanation in the English language.
