Muslims provoked the crusades and after the eighth major attack event by them the Papacy put his blessing on what the Christians wanted to do for 460 years.
When they sacked Rome the Christians restrained themselves. 114 years later when they attacked France Christians endured. 17 years later when they conquered Spain we held back. 57 years later when Constantinople was seized by then we resisted our rage. 16 years later when Italy was plundered we begged the holy see to let us raise our swords. Then when Egypt fell ten years later we reminded the Pope. He finally said enough seven years later when Jerusalem was attacked. The Muslims invaded Jerusalem and apparently now someone thinks it's forgotten.
It's not forgotten. Not by a fucking long shot.

@SteelHands Yes I should have WRITTEN THAT!!!!!!!! It was a REACTION to 400 years of attacks by Islam on the Christian world from the Middle East to Spain.
The Crusades were a counter-attack instigated by Islamic terror visited upon the Christian world.

@SteelHands Indeed. I don't mean to minimize it. I meant from the time the Cult of Mohammed (aka Islam) was vomited out of Arabia until the Crusaders pushed back. Yet Spain was nearly conquered even before they were overwhelmed and as you know it went on until 1700 when finally the Christian (specifically the Catholic and Russian Orthodox) armies began driving these savages back into their caves and freeing the enslaved peoples of Eastern Europe and the Balkans from the Moslem Turkish pederasts.
