Dear A

Looking at the history of the early Crusades.

Do you recall the fact that the 1st (?) army of Western soldiers could not
distinguish Christians from Jews and Muslims because they wore the same
clothes?

Many were needlessly slaughtered then and later.

Can this be verified for us ?

CRUSADES
Pope Urban II , in 1095, gave a rousing speech urging all Christians to
unite against the Islamic threat and save Jerusalem from "the wicked race"
of Saracens (a fairly nasty term for Arabs & Muslims). On July 15 1099, the
crusaders from western Europe conquered Jerusalem, falling upon its Jewish
and Muslim inhabitants like avenging angels from the Apocalypse. About
40,000 Muslims were slaughtered in two days. A thriving populous city had
been transformed into a stinking charnel house.
The enmity against Islam was so immense, the venom of hatred against Islam
was inculcated in the minds and hearts of people that even small children's
were against Islam, In the year 1212 the first children crusade was led by
Stephen of France, a 12 year old shepherd boy. Stephen said that God had
appeared to him in a vision on a hillside near Cloyes in France. God told
him that only innocent children could drive the bad guys out of the Holy
Land. His Zeal attracted thousands of kids, most of them under 12 years old.
About 30,000 children went on a "Holy Mission" to drive out "bad guys" from
the Holy Land. The slimy merchants finally loaded the exhausted little
crusaders into old, rotten ships for "free transport of the Holy Land". Two
of the ships sank, and all on board drowned. The Kids on the other ships
were sold into slavery. 

Et tu, Mr. Bush?
