No, NVR FNSH, I don't remember the Crusades. I believe the last one occurred about 700 years before I was born. I do remember Pan Am Flight 103, I remember the Kabar Towers Marine barracks in Beirut, I remember the Pentagon massacre, and the World Trade massacre. I remember Danny Pearl.
Yes, obviously there were Crusades, some good, some bad. Every religion goes through it's own dark ages. Christianity did. But look how much good has been done by the men & women of Christian Faith over the last 2,000 years. Western Civilization owes it very existance to the Irish Catholic Monks & Priests of about the 8-10th Century who brought books & learning back into Europe after the dark ages. By ANY standard of measurement Christianity has done IMMENSE good in this world over the last 2000 years, building hospitals, churches, schools, civilizations etc. etc.
What good has the Muslim world wrought?
What harm has the Muslim world wrought?
If you investigate this question you will begin to understand why the Spanish kicked the Muslims out of Spain. You will begin to understand why Charlemagne ousted them from Europe.
You know, there used to be 2 Christian Worlds, the Western Christian world of Europe and the Eastern Christian world which encompassed Russia and the entire eastern part of the Mediterranean. The Eastern Christian world was called Byzantium and it's Capitol was Constantinople. Muslim extremists exterminated almost all of the Eastern Christian world (except Russia), putting to death all Christian men, women, and children alike. It took 'em a couple of hundred of years to do it, but hey, they only had swords then.
This militaristic murderous culture hasn't changed much in a thousand years. They still yearn to kill us, they teach their children hatred and killing, they teach hatred in their mosques. UNTIL this ceases, I suggest it is a good idea to keep these people out of our country. UNTIL this ceases, I suggest it might be a good idea to protect ourselves and our world from them.
I can walk into ANY Christian church in this country and I guanantee you the preacher/priest/reverand will not be telling people to go out and kill the Muslims. THAT is the difference between Islam and Christianity. Until this changes we MUST protect ourselves.
