Updated. “The popular understanding of The Crusades in the West is that they involved barbaric, violent Christians invading the peaceful and enlightened Islamic world. Films like Kingdom of Heaven and Mankind: The Story of Us reinforce this narrative. But the truth is the reality of the Crusades is much, much different. In fact, it’s the polar opposite.

Today doubtless many of our crazed effeminate leaders and teachers would have preferred that the entire West had committed suicide. These poor fools, despite the example and teachings of Moses and all the prophets, hardly give a thought to the fact that their descendants would have been enslaved, and their homelands lost for many generations.
