The Truth about the Crusades
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ilFbbk9jw4
>In the 820s, the Aghlabids of Ifriqiya (known by medieval Italians as the Saracens) began the conquest of Sicily.
>In 842, Arab forces tried to capture Ponza, but were beaten off by a combined fleet from Naples and Gaeta. However, the same year they took Messina, Sicily. Around the same time Radelchis I of Benevento and Siconulf of Salerno, rivals engaged in civil war, hired Arab mercenaries to fight in Campania
>The Arab raiders seem to have known about Rome's extraordinary treasures. Some basilicas, such as St. Peter and Saint Paul Outside the Walls, were outside the Aurelian walls, and thus easy targets. They were "filled to overflowing with rich liturgical vessels and with jeweled reliquaries housing all of the relics recently amassed". The most important among them were the golden cross erected above the alleged tomb of Petrus, the so-called Pharum Hadriani and the silver table donated to the church by Charlemagne, and adorned with a representation of Constantinople.[3] As a result, the raiders pillaged the surroundings of the city and the two holy shrines. Contemporary historians believe the raiders had known exactly where to look for the most valuable treasures

>>also unironically implying that the Crusades didn't blunt the edge of the Islamic hordes and their advance towards Europe
By invading constantinople and then leaving it to the turks afterwards, you mean? Or are you talking about when they invaded palestine on behalf of (((venetian))) merchants and the pope while the moors were trying to take over spain?Or when a majority pagan army drove out the muslims in southern france and then christians took the credit for it? Or when they invaded lithuania and started massacres on white people while they were fighting off mongol hordes ( wich were given maps by the same (((venetian))) merchants? Or was it when they were being hunted down by monarchs because crusader banking cartels were destroying eurpean economies and transfering the weath to strange groups in the ME?
Wich one?

After 20 peaceful islamic offensives?

I know that they jewed the crusaders to pay for boating services and then had them pillage and loot Zadar (a christian catholic city) and give it over to Venice and culminated in sacking Constantinopole (another christian city) so the Venetian jew could have his mediterranean monopoly, but also weakening the byzantines so much they got steamrolled by the t*rks
so Venice is to blame for t*rks infesting Germany today, for the presence of Islam in the Balkans and for the travesty that Constantinopole now bears the disgusting mudslime name of ist*mbul
The Muslim conquests brought about the collapse of the Sassanid Empire and a great territorial loss for the Byzantine Empire. The reasons for the Muslim success are hard to reconstruct in hindsight, primarily because only fragmentary sources from the period have survived. Most historians agree that the Sassanid Persian and Byzantine Roman empires were militarily and economically exhausted from decades of fighting one another.
Some Jews and Christians in the Sassanid Empire and Jews and Monophysites in Syria were dissatisfied and welcomed the Muslim forces, largely because of religious conflict in both empires
>Some Jews and Christians in the Sassanid Empire and Jews and Monophysites in Syria were dissatisfied and welcomed the Muslim forces
Pure coincidence

Cathars deserved to die.
Northern Crusades were many times worse than the Fourth Crusade. We couldeve built kingdoms in our own faith and with our riches of silver, but christcucks came here and slaugthered our children and women. We fought until plague and war had left no warriors for us and we fell into the hands of germanic shits who pray to an abrahamic god.
