If that's the case, why were some of the first victims of the Crusades European Jews?
As for Jewish ''guilt' show me the part where the Pope called for or endorsed their utter destruction as a response.
See above.

Sorry fella' but that IS the case irrespective of what happened to the Jews. As you may know the Crusades were a protracted affair provoked by Muslim SOP aggression.

See? I knew you couldn't do it, now admit it to yourself.
If all Muslims spent their days doing as Muhammad did in his life with HIS days, WHAT would they be doing? And if all Christians spent their days doing what Jesus did with His WHAT would they be doing?
Any one who can't see a difference between Islam and Christianity (or Judiasim) doesn't WANT to see one. In which case I recommend to you (today; 9/7/06) Ralph Peters demented screed of a column in which (among other things) he doesn't recognize the difference between murderous muslim fanatics and God Almighty Himself in the book of Joshua. You'll love it!!!
