Seems whenever some righteous atheist tool bemoans the effects of religion on the world, they fall back on “The Crusades” as their example of religions ghastly effects. But most of their rhetoric is based on a lie. Audrey Russo has a terrific piece concerning the period in history (1096 AD -1272 AD) when the Crusades took place, with the details about WHY the Crusades took place. Here’s the shocker: It was a response to Islam! From The Clash Daily: That’s right…it all began with Muhammed’s implicit threat more than 450 years before the Crusaders entered Jerusalem. He said: “embrace Islam and you will be safe.” (Muhammed’s extortion letter to the Khaibar Jews) So how about some good old facts for your ill-informed friends/family/colleagues: — The Crusades were a delayed response for CENTURIES of Muslim aggression, that grew ever fiercer in the 11th Century. The Muslims focused on Christians and Jews…forcing conversions, plundering and mortally wounding apostates. — The Crusades were a DEFENSIVE action, first called for by Pope Urban II in 1095 at the Council of Clermont. — The Crusades were a response against Jihad, which is obligatory against non-Muslims entering “Muslim lands’”. (Muslim lands are any lands previously INVADED and CONQUERED by Islam.) — The motives of the Crusaders were pure. They were jihad-provoked... They were not imperialistic moves against a “peaceful”, native Muslim population. - The Crusades were NOT for profit, but rather to recover a Holy Land brutally invaded and conquered by Muslims…who CONQUERED infidel lands for profit and as a notch on their superiority belt. — The lands conquered by the Crusaders were NOT colonized under the Byzantine Empire. The Empire withdrew its support so the Crusaders renounced their agreement. The Islamic world ripped through the Christian world on a bloody Jihad crusade of its own to propagate Islam. Muslim imperialistic conquest wars were launched for more than 1,500 years against hundreds of nations and over millions of square miles (larger than the British Empire at its peak). The Jihad crusade went from southern France to the Philippines, from Austria to Nigeria, and from central Asia to New Guinea. In the end, the Moors of history were NO better than anyone else. The sword was their choice, domination their aim.
