Protestants are quick to disavow their Crusader fathers but without them our entire Western heritage would have ceased to exist centuries ago. Most of the Crusaders were more courageous, honorable, pious, and self sacrificial than most of us could ever hope to be.

This is all desperately predictable because nothing has really changed since the rise of Islam and the Crusader era, but most of us don't know our own history and the rest have been taught to hate it.
