You could not be more wrong about the crusades. Islam had taken over North Africa and was creeping into Europe with the same tactics used today by Muslims. Christianity had been the dominant religion in all of western Middle East and North Africa. The barbaric tactics used by Muslims rallied Europe and they pushed it back south and east of the Mediteranion. This was the beginning of the rise of European power and the Islamic states basically pushed the pause button for the last 1000 years. Do you think they live in such turmoil because of someone else, or could it be their ideology that has kept them 500 years behind the rest of the world? Don't get me wrong, all religion has blood, racism, slavery in their past, and I have no use for any of the illogical nonsense. The major difference is Christianity has moved past the 5th century and continues to evolve were Islam has not. The two cultures are not in any way compatible with each other, especially the laws in which they live. I also see you have started throwing the islamophobia phase around... Are you saying that fundamentally disagreeing with an ideology is something one can not do without being branded? If that is case, you are the intolerant fuck.
