Taking back the holy land from the thieves and murderers.

To me, the word 'crusade' means an ill-advised military offensive that is liable to result in massive losses for both sides and which will ultimately prove to be utterly futile. ...a lot like the Vietnam war. ...a lot like Bush's idiotic war in Iraq.

Crusade: see diplomacy (antonym). A "crusade" is an all-out, take-no-prisoners campaign, based on unexamined ideology and ignoring the basic humanity of one's designated enemy. Essentially it is a war of extermination.

A war for Christianity, or for a certain kind of Christianity. Just as the word "Jihad" means a war for Islam (fought on the part of either Islamic fundamentalists or NATO).

The Christian counterpart to the Islamic Jihad. Did you know that St. Francis opposed the then Pope and this false docrine of the church?
