EUROPE FOREVER
"Bill Pittman" wrote...
Oh, you want to go back to the morality of the Crusades because of 9/11? From "about.com"... "The Crusades fundamentally altered the relationship between Christianity and Islam. Although they constituted a decisive military 'win' for Islam, the image of barbaric Christian Crusaders continues to haunt Arab Muslim perspectives of Europe and Christianity, especially when combined with the more recent history of European colonialism in the Middle East." We, Christians, were terrorists of the middle ages. If the poster thinks medieval times were so great, he should go there. [R] |

[R] However let's not forget how the Muslims 'converted' Christians and other religions By The Sword after Mohammed died, all over the Near East and North Africa. It was a Crescentade of *enormous* proportions, and it happened not too many centures before the Crusades, which aimed only to retake small areas of land where their religious stories had taken place. Truth in perspective. Don't be a dupe Or a dope. Nex |

... Reminder to myself (others may consider also): Don't answer, or even READ, anything else from the false name "arkady". He never has anything intelligent to say. He's the worst kind of troll.
