You don't have a case to rest. Stop name calling. Start producing some facts. Or give us all a break.

No name calling from me, just facts. In your desperation for the last word....go ahead

Glib nonsense. The Crusades were a response to 400 years of Muslim wars of conquest in Christian lands. 

And how did those lands become Christian , do you think all the Pagan states and Empires were peacefully converted by a band of persuasive monks ?

The Crusades were simply an extension of the power struggle between East and West , propogated in the name of religion.

The rapid rise of Islam was driven as much by the arrogance and greed of the Holy Roman church as it was by conquest.

Sheer deflection. The subject under discussion was the prospect of certain European countries ending up under Sharia. There is no evidence that Hitler killed millions of Jews because he feared they would impose their religion on his nation.

 

Your remark about Holocaust deniers, with its snide implication I may be one, is as craven as it is untrue and deserving of a response more severe than is possible within the confines of this forum. Shame on you.

You need some history lessons.
