The Road to Jerusalem
Timothy Birdnow
Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade over not much worse.
West-Backed Jihadists In Syria Massacre Over 1000 Alawite & Christian Men, Women & Children
Urban launched the First Crusade after Muslims massacred 1400 pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. This was the last straw; the Turks had been systematically harassing Christian pilgrims, kidnapping and ransomong them and generally abusing Christians in the area. But it wasn't much worse than what we are seeing today with the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
FTA:
Where is Richard the Lion-Hearted when you need him?
Oh, the Crusades are usually blamed on the Christians these days but the reality is they were a response to centuries of aggression against Christendom on all fronts and while there were excesses and very bad things done by some of the western armies by and large the Crusades were not about conquest nor were they any more cruel than the Turks had been. The Crusades primary goal was to reopen the pilgrimage roads to Jerusalem.

FTA:
"After several days of radical Sunni Islamist militants targeting religious minorities in Syria for mass killings, mainly in coastal areas, the mainstream media has belatedly begun to cover it (as the killings are growing to the point of getting too hard to ignore). Some correspondents estimated that there are thousands dead and wounded, mostly Alawites but also Syrian Christians among them, as post-Assad Syria unravels under Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's (HTS) Jolani.
"The death toll from two days of clashes between Syrian security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar Assad and revenge killings that followed has risen to more than 1,000, a war monitoring group said Saturday, making it one of the deadliest acts of violence since Syria’s conflict began 14 years ago," The Associated Press reports.
The jihadists, which include foreign fighters as well as ruling HTS members, in some cases are simply going into the homes of non-Sunnis and massacring whole families. The terrorists haven't been shy about uploading their killings on the internet as well as in livestreams. Men, women, children, and even babies are being brutally murdered.

Yes, the Crusades are "blamed on" the Christians these days, because 99.44% of people have just about 0% of historical knowledge of the days in which the Crusades took place. As for me, I "blame" the Crusades on the Muzzies, because if they'd left things alone, the Crusades would never have been necessary.
And I'll just hum "Those Were the Days," along with Archie Bunker, and substitute the name "Old Pope Urban" for "Herbert Hoover" when it comes to "Mister, we could use a man like [insert name here] again." It keeps the meter proper to add the "Old."
