I have a PhD in Medieval History.

You must have many leather-bound books.

I especially enjoyed this deep thought. Your train of thought sort of derailed.

But every historian talks about how the crusades did “grow an economy” from East to West. Also, if a society thinks a crusade against its own members, then the growing of the economy is not the major issue now is it?

I will mark you down as pro crusade, and pro religious genocide.

I suggest you read a good book.

I read a good one every day. But thanks for the advice.

“You must have many leather-bound books.”

Not only do I have them I’ve read them - and I’m willing to bet you haven’t.

“I especially enjoyed this deep thought.”

Not a deep thought - just common knowledge among historians.

“Your train of thought sort of derailed.”

No, actually that didn’t happen.

“I will mark you down as pro crusade,”

That’s fair.

“and pro religious genocide.”

Nope. The crusades were never about that. If they were then you would not have had so many medieval Muslim leaders complaining about the Turco-poles (who were Muslims) willingly working for Christian leaders. But again someone would actually have to read a book on the subject to know that.

“I read a good one every day.”

Most likely not about the crusades - which is what you’re attempting to talk about.

“But thanks for the advice.”

You’re welcome.
