Until a group of insane Christians occupy territory the size of small countries and start flying planes into buildings, let’s stop with the ISIS comparisons.Yes, because the Crusades…never happened
One of the main causes of the Crusades was the danger pilgrims to the Holy Land faced due in large part to its overlords at the time. Also, the Moors and whatnot were making incursions into Europe and threatening Europe as a whole. The Crusades themselves were entirely justified. A lot of the stuff that happened during them was far from it, but it’s not like mass rape and pillaging was sanctioned by the Church. Of note as well is that a sizeable percentage of the crusaders were the criminals and low-life of society, if I remember correctly from what I’ve read.
