So you're saying that Crusaders, filled with their zeal to defend the faith, killed thousands of civilian Jews, Orthodox Christians, and Muslims. Thanks for making that clear. If that's not what you intended to say, let me caution you from ignoring the actions of the Crusaders simply because they were different than the stated reasons for the Crusades.

No. I used the term OVER zealous. Generally this term connotes a human failing rather than an excess of a good thing. But then, you knew that.

The dead outside of Muslim ranks is infinitesimally tiny given the full scope of the Crusades. But, then, you knew that as well.

Try to focus upon the center: How many did Mohammad rape and kill vs how many did Jesus rape and kill? As I said: There are crusaders in hell.
