Please cite any writing contemporary with the beginning of the Crusades that cites this as a primary reason. Surely you aren't referring to pilgrims like those Germans who were attacked by Bedouins only to be defended and sheltered by the governor of Ramla. Furthermore, please cite anything claiming that the Fatimids -- who controlled Jerusalem at the time of the Crusaders' arrival -- had a policy of killing Christian pilgrims.Er..yes, the crusades were undertaken in response to MUSLIM oppression and the butchery of 3000 Christians in Jerusalem.
Lord, Allie, you aren't this stupid.
There's a reason that every site which promotes your version of history is either Christian or wholly unreliable like "answers.com."
No; this makes me feel like I'm trying to explain something to a fussy young child. Your "history" was invented to create a false reality consistent with the puerile notion that Christians can do no evil. It has no basis in fact.But continue to bloviate and pretend we're saying different things, by all means. I'm sure it makes you feel important.
I never said Christians do no evil.
I said the crusades were a response to the butchery and empire building of the Muslims.
And I was right.
If only continuing to provide no evidence and hollowly claiming victory worked.
