The crusades were a response to muslim conquest


The christians lost alot of regions to the muslim hordes. How can people be so stupid to say that the crusades was a attack response? No it was a defensive response to retake what they lost.

If there were no crusades we would all be speaking arab right now. Not a funny sight... Seeing burka's miles head on. All same culture, brain dead!

Bizarre to see so many greetings to fellow muslims i.e. "Salaam alaikum" from Christians yet I have never heard a muslim say "Peace be with you or God bless you" to a Christian?

I learned that I can respond to muslims "Alaikum salaam". Still, Islam is not the Truth of Jesus Christ? All our top Christian apologists can defend Christianity and muslims can not?

I can not see real peace in the future if muslims are going to live by the hidith?

I pray for the unbelievers and muslims to come to the living Jesus of Nazareth?

Peace with you all!

Is that what they say? When told that greeting, I thought (at first) I was being offered salami and bacon.

I said "Sure, can I have a 1/4 pounder of smoked please?" and least to say, didn't get the response I expected...

Except Muslims do say "Peace be with you" with the response of "Also with you." It can be said in English just fine. Those that speak ESL tend to use Arabic. It's polite to speak the few words that one knows.

I've never heard a Christian say "Pax Vobiscum" to me. They must not be real Christians. Doesn't that sound silly? My dad is German, he went to seminary. He quit because he wanted kids. He's never said "Friede sei mit dir" in his life. He always speaks English, Latin, or Greek when giving a lay sermon. He must not be really German.

Islam is just fine. We all have the same God. Elah, the God of the Mountain. We are all sons of Abraham. Same God, very similar rules. Remember, the Bible is full of killing the crap out of infidels too. Also, all Abrahmic religions forbid eating owls. If we can agree on that, we can agree on anything.

That and a way for the Pope to get the Christians to stop fighting each other for a while.

They should do a movie on Charles "The Hammer" Martel and how he saved Europe though.
