ISIS activists are extremists.
Whenever I hear people say muslim this muslim that I remind them of the Christian crusaders.
Then they usually say, well they aren't true Christians.
Which I respond, well then ISIS aren't true Muslims.
Sorry...the holy book of islam condones what they are doing....the teachings of Jesus do not condone the evil done in the name of God.....
Massacre of Jerusalem by christian savages
Jews fought side-by-side with Muslim soldiers to defend
Jerusalem against the Crusaders
] Saint Louis University Professor
Thomas Madden, author of
A Concise History of the Crusades, claims the "Jewish Defenders" of the city knew the rules of warfare and retreated to their synagogue to "prepare for death" since the Crusaders had breached the outer walls.According to the Muslim chronicle of
Ibn al-Qalanisi, "The Jews assembled in their synagogue, and the Franks burned it over their heads."The Crusaders "[circled] the screaming, flame-tortured humanity singing 'Christ We Adore Thee!' with their Crusader crosses held high." However, a contemporary Jewish communication does not corroborate the report that Jews were actually inside of the Synagogue when it was set fire. This letter was discovered among the
Cairo Geniza collection in 1975 by historian
Shelomo Dov Goitein.
] Historians believe that it was written just two weeks after the siege, making it "the earliest account on the conquest in any language."
[However, all sources agree that a synagogue was indeed burned during the siege.
Yeah....so.....it was a barbaric time...and the muslims were just as violent and brutal as any other group......and again....we are talking a time of primitive peoples........and we are talking about 2015 muslim behavior.....there is no comparison....Chritian society grew up....muslim society has stayed barbaric..........how about we focus on this week....not the 12th century.........
the point is christinity was and is not pure in its history
European christians extermination of Natives started with Christopher Columbus' arrival in San Salvador in 1492. Native population dropped dramatically over the next few decades. Some were directly murdered by Europeans. Others died indirectly as a result of contact with introduced diseases for which they had no resistance -- mainly smallpox, influenza, and measles.
Later European Christian invaders systematically murdered additional Aboriginal people, from the Canadian Arctic to South America. They used warfare, death marches, forced relocation to barren lands, destruction of their main food supply -- the Buffalo -- and poisoning. Some Europeans actually shot at Indians for target practice.
Oppression continued into the 20th century, through actions by governments and religious organizations which systematically destroyed Native culture and religious heritage. One present-day byproduct of this oppression is suicide. Today, Canadian Natives have the highest suicide rate of any identifiable population group in the world. Native North Americans are not far behind.
The genocide against American Natives was one of the most massive, and longest lasting genocidal campaigns in human history. It started, like all genocides, with the oppressor treating the victims as sub-humans. It continued until almost all Natives were wiped of the face of the earth, along with much of their language, culture and religion.
