If it wasn't for the crusades, let's face it, we would all be praising Allah today.Actually, the Crusades did little to stop the spread of Islam into Europe. Charles Martel in the West and Vlad Dracul in the East were far more effective.

That history may or may not be true -- I'm not a historian -- but it is certainly unconventional and for that reason, highly suspect without a heck of a lot of evidence to back it up. I am certainly not buying it.
