>>Incorrect -- theIslamic invasion of Europe started when they crossed into the Iberian peninsula
Thank for correcting me-almost forget about it. You are right in it, but any way Crusades had nothing to do with reconquista, and Balkans fell in Ottoman hands just after the Crusades. And do not forget, who burnt Constantinople first... These vere evil times, anyway

but any way Crusades had nothing to do with reconquista,

then the setting up of Crusader Kingdoms to secure the Holy land so Christians could live there was NOT reconquest?

and Balkans fell in Ottoman hands just after the Crusades
When the Crusaders left -- that was our mistake which we won't make again. THis time we convert all of them or kill'em all

And that shows how little you know if you are referring specifically to the liberation of the Iberain peninsula from the follower of the great paedophile (you DO know what I mean by that, don't you?). The liberation of Spain was considered the Crusade in the West
