I think the Crusades are often misportrayed by common media these days. They happened after 600 years of Islam offense threathening to destroy Western civilization. I don't know much on this topic either but I'm sure there is much information on the web about these events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7y2LRcf4kc

Yes, the Crusaders did horrible stuff to such as killing jews in Jerusalem but this is pale i comparisen to what the Muslims did in their 1400 year conquest.

The Crusades were a product of Christians seeing a threat to their civilization through the agent of Islam.

Of course. But what religion or ideology have not a bloody history?

This is one of the reasons I don't subscribe to religion, it's tendency to cause inhuman suffering and blood-fueled crusades in the name of god(s).

I don't follow statism. :mrgreen:

Who say anything about following satanism here!
