Muslims pretend the Crusades were horrible examples of naked aggression when the truth is that the Crusades were a tepid at best response to centuries of Islamic aggression that destroyed a prosperous North Africa and engaged in ceaseless piracy, raiding and wars of expansion.
Dr. Bill Warner catalogues the number of jihad vs. crusades and it is something like 500 to 12. (I don’t know the exact number but I am sure you catch my drift.) The aggressors were and always will be the muslins.
