Wow RRS I'm glad you picked up on that! I was thinking exactly the same whilst writing my lengthy response, but totally forgot about it by the end of it!
There are many who also feel that the Crusades against the Middle East ARE the cause of the HATRED that many muslims show towards the West. Yes, the Christian infidels!
I read an incredibly interesting series of articles on a website, that primarily deals with Astronomy(lol), about the whole 9/11 tragedy and the troubles between East and West. They had an interesting theory about WHY the World Trade Centre was the chosen target and the reasons behind the attack. A war that has waged for nearly 1,000 years......the Crusades!
They argue that the WTC was targetted as part of an attempt to start a Jihad (for those that don't know it's a Muslim Holy War) between Christianity (being America) and Islam (being the Islamic states of the Middle East). Within the text of the essay's they theorise that the WTC was targetted in revenge for the capture of the Twin Pillars of Islam during the Crusades. What does this have to do with the USA you might ask? Well if you consider that the most hated of the Christian soldiers, by Islam, were the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, responsible for the capture of the Twins Pillars, and then consider that their (knights templar) descendants were known as THE PILGRIM FATHERS!!!! Now if you know your American history, doesn't it add up to a wonderful conspiracy theory?
It's all speculation I know but it's an awesome read and doesn't half make you think and possibly reconsider your preconceptions of what is REALLY going on behind closed doors, things that joe normal WILL NEVER know about!
If anyone is interested in ploughing through these very lengthy essays then please say so & I'll be happy to post a link here on the board!
