The Crusades

[st_julie]

What fuels this hatred of Israel and of Christians?

We know from the Bible that the Israelites fought the Assyrians(a minority in Iraq) and Babylonians but that is so long ago and yet the Arab tribes who themselves are semitic tribes still hate the Jewish people.

The answer is probably a mystical one, if you know what I mean.

Interesting thought, although probably inaccurate. Unfortunately, everything is simply too much “PC” today…

Well, yes it is, and the popular conceptions will probably most remain the same. Scholarly work and analysis could be much more friendly as the confrontation with Iran and Islamic terror looms and blows up.

With the rise of extremist Islam, the crusades will likely be studied in a different light in the near future.

It is already to late for that. Europe is even now “Eurarbia” for muslims outnumber professing Christians there. Europe as we know it won’t exist in another generation.
