Also the west only launched the crusades after like 200 years of continued aggression by Islamic caliphates

2019-09-18 16:03:23 UTC  

so crusades were a reconquest

2019-09-18 16:03:45 UTC  

Or in other words defensive

2019-09-18 16:04:06 UTC  

Muslims had ivaded Spain and parts of France before the crusades started too, it was not just a push to take Jerusalem. It was mainly to push Islam back into the middle east

2019-09-18 16:04:19 UTC  

battle of tours

2019-09-18 16:04:40 UTC  

Basically, whitey didn't start it

2019-09-18 16:04:50 UTC  

North africa and the middle east were christian for 700 years.

2019-09-18 16:04:54 UTC  

We shall take back Iberia!… oh yeah don’t forget Jerusalem

2019-09-18 16:05:15 UTC  

they were roman, and converted pretty early iirc

2019-09-18 16:05:28 UTC  

then the visigoths in tunisia etc. were christian

2019-09-18 16:05:45 UTC  

then the islamic invasions and oh look everyone converted to islam

2019-09-18 16:05:46 UTC  

The islamic jihad had taken most of spain, itally and the states around greece before the crusades started, first taking back europe and then rataliating on merely jerusalam.

2019-09-18 16:05:53 UTC  

by their own accord of course lol

2019-09-18 16:06:00 UTC  

no conversion by sword here

2019-09-18 16:06:15 UTC  

I was told the crusades were unjustified, well that’s out the window

2019-09-18 16:06:25 UTC

2019-09-18 16:06:43 UTC  

Most people don’t even remember the Berber wars

2019-09-18 16:07:02 UTC  

Berber wars

2019-09-18 16:07:11 UTC  

The spanish were preparing for an all out invasion to retake africa and the middle east, but were waylayed by the discovery of america where gold was aplenty. Spain decided to use this expidition to farm capital for the invasion of the middle east and north africa. But then the brittish fleet sunk them in the middle of a hurricane.

Ya know Muslim pirates attacking US merchant ships for no reason either then “we were the infidels”

2019-09-18 16:07:38 UTC  

and they wanted slaves

2019-09-18 16:07:45 UTC

2019-09-18 16:08:13 UTC  

I mean when you think about it, the crusades worked out well for Christians

2019-09-18 16:08:16 UTC

2019-09-18 16:08:17 UTC  

No, europe had its own source of slaves without trading with africa or invading america. The SLAVic people.
