If you don't think Johnson's take is more accurate then why offer it as a source of information? I'm sure there are more than a few works that focus on the crusades from a Muslim perspective, why not offer those as a suggestion that there's probably more to the story?

[Hebrews 11:6]

If you don't think Johnson's take is more accurate then why offer it as a source of information?

1. I didn't offer it to you, so what's it to ya?

2. If it is any of your business, consider this: suggesting another source (among many, as you point out) is simply a way to say that there may be more to the story than the poster thinks. It is up to him whether to consult that source, or others, and how to evaluate it. My assessment of its accuracy thus becomes irrelevant; that is, I am only the courier, bringing it to his attention. Upon demand, I went to the trouble of typing out several paragraphs so he could evaluate it preliminarily, with the result that you give me grief for my efforts.
