What I am saying is that at the time, no one, from a Christian standpoint said anything about what the Crusaders did or even knew what happened except that the crusades were "glorious".


Much the same could be said about the Muslim world these days. If there is a car bombing in Tel Aviv, someone in Saudi or the UAE won't know much about it unless they see it on TV because chances are their Imams will tell about how "Glorious" it was.

It doesnt absolve anyone of any guilt or association to the acts, but the surroundings are simliar.

I doubt that's true. I really think you're equivocation of Christians with Muslims is not very thoughtful, not true, nor very historic.

My very liberal sister told me back in 1985, that Communism was just another form of Government..........she was and still is very ignorant about that. You seem to have bought into the view that all religions are equally corrupt and viscous. Comparing Muslim v. Christian in conquest and slaughter is simply not historically accurate at all.
