Everybody is going on and on about how the Taliban is evil and all, but didn't our Christian forefathers do the same thing durring the Crusades and the Spanish inquisition? If it's ok for us to do it then why not them? Don't get me wrong, I'm very patriotic and I love my country, I even had an uncle die in 9-11. I just wanna know what the difference between their actions and the actions of our ancestors is. In fact wasn't the Crusades what started this whole thing, the war between the middle east and Christians? I'm just out to get a good answer that makes sense, unlike my town leaders' answers of "because this is the way that God wills it". God, or whom ever you pray to, wants us all to get along, as it says in just about every religious text. So why all the wars in the name of religion? Anyways, sorry for the ramblings, and any help in my confusion would be much apreciated.
