Moslems seized Palestine and Jerusalem in the 600sAD, and held it in an “Arab Empire” 400 years.
The Crusades were done by Popes of the Roman Catholic Church, 1100AD thru the 1200sAD….to liberate the Moslem-held Land of the Jews of the Bible, that the RC thought to be the Land of Christ’s New Testament followers.
Not all Christian believers had a part in either the RC Church or the Crusades, but in 2011, haters like Trout hold todays non-Catholics responsible for understandable responses to Islamic Wars to conquer and hold lands that were not their own, imposing slavery on survivors who refused to convert to Islam.
It was 900 Years Ago, Trout. Get over it.
Wars are constant, and happen all over the earth, and the only time nations were not at war was the lifetime of Jesus, about 33 years, because He is God the Son who took humanity on Himself for the purpose of atoning for the sins of all mankind. Jesus gave prophecies, and one of them was the truth that mankind will have wars until He returns to end all wars and establish true Peace on earth.
