Alawites and Shia Muslims are also part (if not the majority) of the ethnically cleansed and are not Christians. So there is a little bit more to that story šŸ¤”.

Yes, whichever islamist team passes the finish line first, gets to do the cleaning.

It’s actually whichever religious group passes the finish line first.

ā€œThe Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Christian Latin Church in the medieval period. The best known of these military expeditions are those to the Holy Land between 1095 and 1291 that had the objective of reconquering Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Muslim rule after the region had been conquered by the Rashidun Caliphate centuries earlier. Beginning with the First Crusade, which resulted in the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, dozens of military campaigns were organised, providing a focal point of European history for centuries.ā€

Your Wikipedia quote says "reconquering", which means someone did something first.

Of course. All lands are conquered and stolen by someone before. Christians conquered and stole land from other Christians. They also stole it from pagans that were there before them.

The land in question happened to have never been stolen or conquered by Christians though, which is specifically what was being discussed.

No. It was part of the Byzantine empire.

The crusaders were the christian scums.

It doesn’t really matter who had it first. Christians have gone to war against other Christians as well. The point is that violence is common across all religions.

Are we forgetting that the rabidly-atheistic communists killed the most people, ever? And that, in record time.

Gottlosigkeit macht Frieden.

Only later were the crusaders scum.

No. Have a look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Constantinople There are christian scums just like there are muslim scums. There are christians that are good people and muslims that are good people. That's it...

I agreed with you, but added the condition of time.

This. Take any sizeable group of people and most will be good, and some will be evil. It's not religions fault, it's human nature.

That was the Fourth Crusade.

Yes

That is not what is being discussed. Op is claiming that the end game for all Muslims is to kill all Christians. I’m saying that all religions have people who kill each other. I used the crusades as an example of the violence that Christians have committed in the past. Since there is some strange belief that Christians are the peaceful religion. Again, I’m not religious but it’s pretty bad to make such an absurd claim when there are plenty of peaceful Muslims in Bitcoin. Let’s not forget the religion of the country behind most of the wars and the destabilization of those countries. Why don’t people make similar generalizations about Christianity when most of the murder in the world are facilitated by Christians? Because that would be retarded.

Religion is wild

It's the #1 cause of war.

I doubt it beats resource scarcity and acquisition. Maybe #2?

A tie maybe. They go hand in hand.

To suggest that Christians are specially peaceful denotes a special kind of retardation, and willful ignorance of history šŸ˜‚

And you are the very first to mention anything like that in this thread. Congrats.

Thanks šŸ¤™

Did you even read that passage, before you copied it in?

I did

Alawiten were unusual, in being one of the few Muslim groups that were leaving the local Christians in peace, at least for now, and leading a largely secular regime. That is over.
