To Jael:

The Muslims had it coming in the Crusades.

Originally a faith limited to a handfull of half-baked fanatics in central Arabia, its founder and cheif proponent, Muhammad, used terror and violence to forcibly convert the adjoing Arab tribes.

Then then invaded the predominantly Christian areas of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Anatolia, not to mention Egypt and north Africa, which were part of the Christian Byzantine Empire. Likewise they invaded the predominantly monotheistic Zoroastrian Persian Empire to forcibly impose their half-baked cult in all those territories. Later, they spread across all of Christian north Africa and invaded the Christian Iberian Penninsula and France as far north as Tours - not far from the northern French City of Paris. In addition, they invaded Christian Sicily and southern Italy. They turned the Mediterranean Sea, once an avenue of commerce and trade and a route for the exchange of information and ideas into a pirate ridden hell hole whose inhabitants lived in constant fear of attack by "peaceful" Islamic corsairs and slave-raiders. The Crusades themselves were launched legitimately, by the Pope to oppose the cruelty of the Seljuk Turks, barbarians who recently converted to Islam and who were defiling Christian sacred sites in the Holy Land and persecuting and terrorizing Christian pilgrims.

Later on, after the Crusades were unfortunately allowed to wither and die by the western European states before they ridded the earth of this foul cult, an Islamic terrorist state in the form of the Ottoman Empire, invaded the Balkans, captured and defiled the Christian city of Constantinople, invaded the Balkans, creating the caldron of problems presently existing there, and threatened Central Europe as far as Vienna with their raiding, raping, pillaging hordes of barbarian savages.

Further, Russia was long plagued by the Khans of the Golden Horde on it southern borders, a nation of Muslims.

No, sorry, Jael, Christians have nothing to apologize for, except perhaps, not eliminating totally this vicious cult from the face of the earth, thus preventing escalation of the evils it continues to engender.

Unlike Christians, who long ago abandoned violence as an effective tool in disseminating their faith as it contradicts the preaching of Christianity's founder, Muslims, true to their faith, continue to follow the teachings of the half-baked criminal who founded their cult and attack and abuse and oppress anyone, not merely Christians and Jews, who are not followers of that cult.

Have a nice day, Jael.

Dear Zula,
I don't agree with the article. I just didn't know to put a "barf alert" in the subject line to let everyone know that. (Someone has since changed it and i am very grateful.)

I am a Christian. I believe that the writer of that article is purposefully trying to stir up hate against Christians by calling them terrorist. I am not a Pat Robertson fan, but like another poster said, "Show me one child that Pat Robertson murdered."

I posted the article in hopes that other loves of truth would see it and write the editor.
