Question

CRUSADES WERE A DEFENSIVE EFFORT TO PROTECT JEWS AND CHRISTIANS FROM BEING WIPED OUT BY JIHADIST MUSLIMS.

JIHAD HAS BEEN WAGED IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET!!

Answer 1

Ok thank you for that Islamic lesson. I have never done much reading on the Islamic religion and I am very ignorant of it's history.

Answer 2

I didn't know that. Cause it isn't true.

The first Crusade - Emperor Alexius called for defence of the Byzantine Empire from Turks. When the Crusaders reached Jerusalem they MASSACRED the population, Jews, Christians, nobody was spared.

The fourth Crusade - Constantinople was sacked, which had a high Jewish and Christain population

Albigensian Crusade - Launched against the "heretical" Cathars in France, who were a Christian sect

Crusades in the Baltic - Launched to forcibly convert the Scandinavian peoples to Christianity

As a cause of the crusades massacres of Jews occured right across western europe, from Germany to England, the latter expelling Jews until the 17th century.

The Crusades are held in contempt by people of Orthodox Christian faith, as when Constantinople was sacked, many Orthodox relics and treasures were stolen by the Vatican, where they still reside today.

So a little less anti-Islamic propaganda, if that's ok

Answer 3

The crusades were NOT repeat NOT a defensive effort... the muslims were the DEFENDERS in control of Jerusalem and the Christians ATTACKED them multiple times... Oh and btw crusaders didnt give a crap about the Jews.

Answer 4

And how do you define Jihad? As holy war against the west? Get real, it means to struggle, which covers a whole range of things. Like to better one self. It could also mean Holy War.

The Crusades wasn't about protecting Jerusalem, it was about conquering it. It was european nobility seeking fame and fortune in the Holy Land. They really had no business there.

Answer 5

Actually, the Crusades were to recapture land previously taken from Christian control by Jihadist Muslims. The rest of your speech is essentially accurate.

Answer 6

I know whatcha mean they wanna impose Islamic Law everywhere even in Countries that are mostly Christian Churches.

They demanded a seperate Law System for Muslims in Australia but Prime Minister John Howard, God Bless him told those Muslims that Australia is not gonna do that and if those Muslims demanding such wanna live under Islamic law they can move to a Country under such laws.

Answer 7

this is why we must wipe out all muslims the world over as i have heard there are five types of jihad and any muslim my take up the most violent form of this and kill his enemy all those who do not belief as he does .
the others are more of a support network for these people so it is impossible to prevent any muslim from becoming or participating in jihad as this is the way to there GOD.
IT would be like telling a christian that the only way to got to heaven was kill everyone who did not belieffff in jesus /.

Answer 8

crusades were a defensive effort?

odd...

I guess Hitler killing the Jews was defensive too?

and the spanish inquisition was defensive?

and I guess Stalin's purges were defensive?

I didn't know Rush had a "history of the middle east"?

Answer 9

I think someone was counting in dog years.

Answer 10
