I'll have to look at that. While I've studied European and some church history, I'll admit I hadn't looked at the different Crusades. But this is really intriguing! I'll have to read on that page, and get back to your question! But so far, you may have something.
I have for awhile sensed that they are doing the same thing in reverse that we (descendants to Crusaders) sought to do. They seem to be trying to take over the world, convert us to Islam(by force, if they have to), which is essentially what we sought to do to them. They seem to be wanting revenge, but claiming that they want to win us over to what 'they' believe is the true faith! Creepy!!
I don't believe they will succeed though. They've tried it before; and it didn't work. It's the same thing with Communism, or "The third way", or NWO. If building the 'Tower of Babel' didn't work, the Roman Empire didn't last, Communism didn't succeed in overtaking the whole earth, these won't either. Why? Because something, someone always stopped them!
Oh, they'll keep trying, they'll cause murder and mayhem on the way. But God himself has always said he'll not let the 'gates of hell' prevail against his true faith. I don't believe he'll allow a rival. He won't let anyone take over the whole earth for themselves. He'll let them get so far, then confound them, stop them somehow!

I'm sure you know, there's been another killing tonight, an hour ago?
