Video of dynamic battle map of Mediterranean, showing the battles in groups of 20 year increments - into France, Spain, Italy, eastern Europe and the islands.

I think what we see here is a lack of education on the middle ages and Crusades. For people that don't know who Biden is but can recite the latest Taylor Swift song, we know nothing about the Crusades, so when someone tells them we were brutal to the Muslims, they have no idea what happened the previous 400 years. Muslims, OTOH, are taught from birth that somehow we weren't supposed to be mad about the lands that were taken from us. This is the price of teaching them how to put condoms on banana's, but leave out history of the world. If you ask most kids about history, they don't know who we fought for our freedom in 1776, they don't know why we went to war in WWII, or who we fought, they don't know who won the Civil War, they just know the "Stars and Bars" is somehow bad. They believe the First Amendment is about free speech but deny we have freedom of religion or assembly. The second Amendment was a big mistake, and they have never heard of the other 8. When the 9th and 10th are explained to them, they still thing states rights is racist. This is the most useless, ignorant generation in American history.

Many here may be saying,...not my kid, but ask them some questions and see. I chose home schooling mine and am forever grateful we made the right choice.
