i feel some pride for my ancestors

And slavery.

Lots and lots of slavery.

but right now i feel nothing but pity

the Fatimids were nice though

Make the confederates look like amateurs.

under the rule of al Hakim

@momoneymoproblems And Europe went on crusades down there for something along those times as well

Crusades were defensive wars

Yep christianity did fuck them hard

Uh noi

Lol nope

Were though

The nordics dont believe so

Iberia was jihaded by multiple islamic republics

same with Byzantium

You dont go to a place and invade every town and make the people there pay taxes "in defence"

and the crusades were an excuse to help byzantium and reconquest lost christian land

Iberia was literally the Reconquista

nor do you fuck over a religion into extinction

Reconquista wasnt a crusade though.

It was

Crusades were basically using religion as an excuse to conquer.

No it wasnt.

sanctioned by the pope

It's a crusade against infidels, a holy war, literally a crusade

but you can pretend it wasnt

same thing can be said about jihad.

So was the crusade against the nordic pagans

The crusades were not in self defense

were though

byzantium got analed by Turks for hundreds of years

Byzantium owned everything down to egypt

their fault for losing wars.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
