I actually heard a commie lib on Pacifica radio make the antiChristian statement that we only need to look to the Crusades to see the horror of Christianity, that it is spread by the sword.

NO mention of Islamonazism was made. NO mention of the spread of Islamonazism to Spain (the Western Capital of Islamic states).

Mohammed's death cult aped the Judeo-Christian Bible. Those who (Wrongly) claim that the lands have always been muslim just reveal their prejudices.

There was no Islam before Mohammed. So we are left to ask, what RELIGION/POLITICAL SYSTEM did these people follow before Mohammed put a sword to their throats?

The Christian crusades weren't even Christian, in the sense that they were petitioned for by the Church. Only Three of the Crusades were (petitioned for by the Pope), and they were in respondse to the Muhammadan crusades, meant to regain control of the holylands. (The Jews were not supposed to be harmed by decree, but in those days, a crusade took many years and plunder was the means in which they advanced. Crusades moved on their bellies. The third one never really got off the starting line.

Other crusades following those are wrongfully called Christian Crusades simply because most of Europe was inhabited by Christians. ALL the crusades were lead by rulers and landlords hoping to improve their lot. They weren't lead by preachers with bible in hand.

Here is the difference between the Crusaders and the Jihadists.

Any and all atrocities committed by Crusaders were done in spite of the teachings of Christianity.

Any and all atrocities committed by Jihadists are done because of the teachings of Islam.
