I don't have a basic understanding of HISTORY? You were the one that stated that the Crusades were for beating back the Ottoman Turks, NOT I, oh knowledgable one.

I am FAR from bitter, I just hate arrogant bigoted, unknowledgable idiots that make blatantly false statements that have nothing to do with history. I just point them out and let the chips fall where they may.

YOU are a hypocrtie, because if the Turkish need to apologize for the actions of thier ancestors, then you DEFINITELY need to apologize for the actions of yours. You live here in the US, so YOU have the Indians to apologize for, Slavery to apologize for, you are obviously a Christian, so YOU need to apologize for the Crusades and the senseless slaughter of over 5 million UNARMED men women and children and the total destruction of thier homes.

If you are NOT willing to do that, then you should not be telling the Turks that they need to, Otherwise you are nothing more then a hypocrite. If they need to answer for thier ancestors, then you need to as well.

I may be somewhat bitter about what the butchering Turks have done to so many over so many years but I have nothing to apologize for in America. You, on the other hand, are an apologist for the true savages of the world and all because of your hatred for Christians.

As for your ignorance about the Crusades... I suggested to you a look at the history of the Muslim invasions including that of the Ottoman Turks and the response by the west - the Christians. You won't do it though because you are blinded by your hatred of anything Christian. Anything you write therefore is marked by your ignorance.
