Default EUROPE FOREVER

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]

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.

And you're the best kind of troll? ;-) KM
