Let's be honest here. The crusades had nothing to do with 'protecting' western civilization, and everything to do with the ongoing game of middle-eastern 'capture the flag.' If they were defensive they would have been fought in Spain. It wasn't until the 17th century that the Ottomans pushed into Europe and the Gates of Vienna, and that had nothing whatsoever to do with the medieval crusades, just good 'ole fashioned territorial conquest.
Some pretend we were never attacked, but I'll never forget. The why of it has everything to do with islam, and is nothing new. Islamic agression did not start with us, but I'm willing to see us end it.
Yeah, I will sign up, but only if the plan is total victory. Genocide, the systematic eradication of a people dedicated to the enslavement of humanity.
Agreed to a degree - but at this point in time, it's all about symbolism - the Persians of today don't see the Crusades as some territorial spat - how often do you see Ahmadinejad refer to the West as "crusaders" ? They viewed it as an attack on islam and as Looking and Federale have mentioned....let's give them the attack of a lifetime.
