What an abomination!!
Christians witness for Christ (martyrdom). They do not wage wars of conquest for him.
Why Byzantium was lost. The Turks came looking for a fight, and the Greeks roled over.
Was the liberation of the Holy Land and the Christians of Antioch and Edessa and Jerusalem an evil "war of conquest"? How about the Reconquest of Spain? How about the reconquest of Caucasia, the Balkans, or Central Asia fromthe forces of Mohammed?
Should we all have just sought out the nearest Muslim with a sword and insulted them instead?
After Mazinkert, why didn't Byzantium just rush out unarmed into the glorious martyrdom they could have had from the Seljuk Turks?
