The Lesson of the Crusades and the Modern Islamic Threat

Many people have been falsely taught that the Crusades were both
a military failure, and an evil aggressive act toward the East.

Neither fact is true.

On the one hand, the Crusades were essential and successful in saving Christianity from obliteration,
and on the other hand they were a defensive action,
staving off invasion and driving back the cancer of Islam.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

-Matthew 5:9

Thou shalt not kill.

-Exodus 20:13

Ah yes, a Muslim loving Libertarian has dropped out of context Scripture to try and make his case against fighting Islamic aggression throughout the world.

BTW Lex, it's thou shalt not MURDER (there's a HUGE difference between killing and murder).

one thing I like to point out to our orthodox brothers
and
they don't like it
is
the fourth crusade resulting in the sack of constantinople was a good thing
because
many christian artifacts were saved from the muslims who would have destroyed them in 1453

Did Jesus ever command us to fight anyone?

Tell that to the Byzantines that died defending their country.

That desperately weak.

Why do you get so attached to an institution that you can longer recognize the difference between good an evil?

by the way you nowhere near a stupid as other posts on the thread but I hold out hope for you :)

All your justification of the crusades as defense against Muslim expansion ignores the facts that Islam expanded 250 years previously.

A somewhat delayed reaction
