And .. the Crusades, which were Christians, were begun for the sole purpose of ridding the world of Islam’s butchers.

Humm... not really...

Their sole purpose of the first Crusade was to retake the Holy city of Jerusalem.

Ridding the world of Islam was an impossibility.

Recapturing former Christian lands was a secondary goal.

There were actually a total of six different Crusades over a few hundred year period..

Yes, it was to retake Jerusalem .. because it had been overridden with Muslims. Okay now !!!
