Why do people blame the Christians for the crusades while the Muslims get off completely free for encroaching on christian land and provoking them to go to war.
>>20041
Muslims cannot do wrong. This is fact.
>you will never know the pure triumph of throwing back the Muslim hordes and holding the gates of Vienna
Because the Muslim conquests of the Mediterranean are never taught and you're to just assume they've always had it? Like, the Reconquista isn't just a fucking name.
>>20041
Because liberals
Why do people blame the white people for the creation of the jim crow laws while black people get off completely free for encroaching on white land and provoking them into separating the two races.
>>20041
Muslims and, ironically, Euroscentric learning
who cares post cool knights

The Crusades were a waste of time. They failed to hold ground and lots of them were not even aimed at the Muslims at all. Christians would have been better off sending their crusading armies to Spain.
If the Catholics wouldn't have randomly attacked Constantinople, then people might have a less negative outlook on the whole business, but they did, and it's done.
>>20041
The declaration of war on the christian side is completely justified both biblical and politically.
The actions of individual crusaders are just that, individual actions.
cool knight of the 20th century for you boys
The answer is simple.

That is the most disgusting lie I've ever read.
>>20041
Because it doesn't fit the narrative, and is considered racist. Cultural Marxism is anti-western and Islam does not fall into that category.

>Byzantines ask for help
>Crusaders sack the capital of the Byzantine empire
Lets just admit that the crusades were not exactly serving Byzantine interests.

>byzantine emperor asks for 3-5k professional soldiers
>send huge mobs and armies consist of petty princes to establish your dominance in east
what a great buddy pope was
>>20041
>Blame
It was a bunch of people killing each other I don't think that the first thing on anybody's mind should be blame. Religious tension and clashing doctrines might be the best answer I guess.

The first few had good intentions for their Christian brothers. Until the merchants learned they could exploit it to make more money by weakening Byzantine trade in the area
