TradCatKnight: Reassessing the Crusades and CrusadersThe rise of the Islamic State (aka ISIS,ISIL, the Caliphate) has resulted in many people—including President Obama—talking about the crusades. The tendency is to "apologize" for the "atrocities" allegedly committed by these acts of supposed aggression. To claim the Islamic State is attacking the West out of vengeance for wars they won over 700 years ago (rather than for what we are now) is absurd, stupid and dangerous. Furthermore, these almost daily statements about the crusades reveal a profound ignorance about just what the crusades were — and were not. tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2016/01/reassessing-crusades-and-crusaders.htmlAttachments:
