Maj: I understand the point you are trying to make but your understanding of the Crusades is incomplete. The Crusades were defensive in nature in response to Moorish aggression. If you don't believe me then help me understand why prior to the Crusades were there seven centers of Christianity and afterward there was only one. The fact is we lost the Crusades and if it were not for a miracle at Lepanto where Christians defeated the Moors all of Europe would have been overrun and would have been controlled by Islam.

A lot of the misinformation about the Crusades stems from agenda-driven history attempting to discredit the Catholic Church. If it weren't for the Church almost certainly you would be a Muslim and not a Christian and for that I am eternally grateful. The conduct of the Crusaders was consistent with the actions of all military campaigns prior to and leading up to these events. We can't be tricked into looking at their conduct from the prism of 21st century mores.

I could likewise debunk much of the conventional wisdom about the Inquisition but I can tell you that this era is likewise distorted by agenda-driven writers and researchers.
