~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is really no logical basis for comparing the Crusades and the centuries-long relentless Muslim Jihad that obliterated countless indigenous cultures, and forced people to choose between conversion to Islam or death. 

 

Millions of  Asians and Africans  were forced to submit to Islam.  Millions of Africans died as a result of the Arab slave trade.  Millions of Hindus were murdered for resisting Islam.   

Watch brief VIDEO by Professor Bill Warner showing time-lapse images of the ancient geographical path taken by Muslim brutal conquest across three continents, including Europe.  Those lands became Muslim through genocide.  Then see comparison of those conquests to the much smaller invasions by European Crusaders.

Islam is responsible for the death

 of at least 270 MILLION non-Muslims,

 making it the largest genocide in history.

 

GENOCIDE BY MUSLIM CONQUEST AND DOMINATION 
DR. BILL WARNER - TEARS OF JIHAD

https://www.politicalislam.com/tears-of-jihad/ 

It is a historical fact that the Crusades were justified as an effort to recapture lands that had been conquered by Muslims.  So says Professor Bill Warner and US Admiral James A. Lyons on the following column. Why is it then that Christian Churches and so many Christians berate Israel for having liberated Biblical and ancient Jewish lands that had been conquered by Muslims in the Seventh Century  - and call Israel an "occupier"?   They even demand that Jewish Jerusalem be handed over to descendants of the Muslim invader, as capital for another Islamic terror state.

 

The Islamic jihad against Christendom started before anyone ever heard of a Crusade

By Admiral (Ret) James A. Lyons,

former Commander of the US Pacific Fleet

Admiral James A. Lyons

In an earlier column in these pages, “Reforming Islam,” I documented the need for Islam to experience an internal reformation. This is not just a question of abstract theology but directly relates to how we defeat Islamic terrorism, and how we are viewed in the Muslim world.

 

For example, ISIS, the foremost terror threat in the world today, in its claim of responsibility for last year’s Paris attack condemned America and its allies as “crusader nations.”

 

Osama bin Laden did likewise. Bin Laden railed against “Crusaders and U.N.” when President Bush used the “C-word” after 9/11. He was widely criticized for it and dropped it.Use of “Crusades” and “Crusaders” as terms of abuse is clearly meant to stir up Muslim masses that they are under assault, not that we are defending ourselves against jihad.

 

Perhaps more importantly, it is designed to evoke feelings of culpability and defeatism among guilty Western liberals, who are ashamed of Western civilization and indifferent at best to its survival.

 

Not surprisingly, when President Obama addressed the National Prayer Breakfast last year on the issue of terrorism, he attempted to minimize the Islamic element of the Islamic State’s barbarity: “Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”

Let’s set the record straight. The Crusades were a series of wars launched by Western Europeans in the wake of devastating defeats inflicted on the Christian Byzantine Empire by the Seljuk Turks.

 

The First Crusade was launched in 1096. It was the most successful one, capturing Jerusalem.  But the gains were only temporary, requiring the launch of repeated efforts to maintain the small feudal statelets carved out in the Holy Land.   The last crusader stronghold, Acre in today’s Israel, fell in 1291.

 

All told, the Crusades occupied a brief period of just over two and one-half centuries. They were limited in scope and essentially were a counterattack, seeking to retake Christian lands earlier seized by the Muslims.

 

How do the Crusades compare to Islamic jihad? Following the death of Muhammad in 632, his successors, the caliphs — the same office ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi claims to have revived — began their unprovoked war of conquest against the Byzantines.

 

Within a decade, the jihad had claimed then-Christian Egypt, Palestine (ISRAEL), and Syria.

 

Muslim armies swept across North Africa and crossed over into Spain in 711, only to be finally stopped in France by Charles Martel, grandfather of Charlemagne, in 732. (At the same time, Muslim forces swept east, subduing Persia and reaching the frontiers of China.)

 

 

Repeated assaults continued across the Mediterranean, including Arab sieges of Constantinople and conquest of Cyprus, Sicily, and Crete.

 

Motivated by Islamic jihad and lust for plunder and slaves — identical to today’s ISIS — not one of these assaults was defensive.

 

These were not Muslim lands being liberated from occupation but Christian lands whose inhabitants experienced the horrors we see today in Syria, Iraq and now Libya with Israel waiting in the wings: amputations, beheadings, slavery and sex slavery (all of which are explicitly authorized by Allah in the Koran).

 

When we see horrific videos of ISIS beheadings and the choosing of sex slaves, let’s remember it’s a scene repeated thousands of times before: in Jerusalem in 637, Egypt in 639, Spain in 711, and Constantinople in 1453.

 

The only difference is that today there are cameras and instant worldwide communications.

 

The Islamic jihad against Christendom started more than four and a half centuries before anyone had even heard of a Crusade.

 

The crusaders forced jihad into remission for a brief period from around 1100 to 1350, after which it resumed its full assault.

 

To sum up, aggressive Islamic jihad was launched against the Christians and lasted 450 years. For 250 years, Christian crusaders counterattacked. After that counterattack failed, renewed jihad lasted another 350 years.

LARGEST PERCENTAGES OF MUSLIMS
IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Islam was imposed there through bloody conquest.

Other countries will follow in the next decades through Muslim migration.  It is estimated that in thirty years or sooner Sweden will be a Muslim-majority country.  Britain is next.

These are today's figures:

20–30%	Cyprus
30–40%	Rep. of Macedonia
40–50%	Bosnia–Herzegovina
60–80%	Albania
90–95%	Kosovo
95–100%	Turkey Azerbaijan

 Islam and the Koran

 

Verses of violence on the Koran
Example:
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"  No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
