i dont think anyone is saying that christianity is innocent, far from it. this was a time before nationalism and permanent territorial boundries. the pope just sent armies to jerusalem to make sure the holy land was christian and not muslim. lands under muslim control actually benefited more than christan lands. islam had far better education, medicine and were much more tolerant than christians. it would be interesting to see how the world would have turned out if the muslims had succeeded in taking europe, or kept control of the lands they had. islam before jihad was much better than christianity ever was at its height.

but, its been almost a thousand years already. they need to let it go. ffs, what is the point of holding centuries old grudges with the west and israel?
