The arabs love to point ot the Crusades as the reason for their angst. While I accept that atrocities were commited in the name Christianity, they happened so long ago. Christians, and the Jews as well, evolved. The Muslims still adhere to medieval hatreds to justify their medieval violence.

It says a lot that lefties have to go back nine hundred years in order to trash Christianity. Trust Bubba to always be a part of the sliming.

I wonder what excuse the Moslems used for the 6th 7th and 8th centuries ?? In AD732 a murderous Muslim army was in France. The Moslems having already conquered Spain, North Africa, Egypt, Syria etc and were now moving into Western Europe intent on exterminating Christianity.

They were defeated at the battle of Tours by Charles Martel "the Hammer" a name given to him for err... Hammering the Moslems

They can not blame the USA as it would not be around for another 1000 years ... nor the Crusader as they were still 300 years in the future nor the British Empire, Western Imperialism nor any other garbage excuse the religion of Slaughter comes up with.

"A Moslem army, in a crusading search for land and the end of Christianity, after the conquest of Syria, Egypt, and North Africa, began to invade Western Europe under the leadership of Abd-er Rahman, governor of Spain. Abd-er Rahman led an infantry of 60,000 to 400,000 soldiers across the Western Pyrenees and toward the Loire River, but they were met just outside the city of Tours by Charles Martel, known as the Hammer, and the Frankish Army."

The Franks won .. does this count as a French victory? you have to go back a long way to find one!
