    Reason for The Crusades explained

    This isn’t difficult. Even a child can understand it. That is Christian evangelism. That is not Christian evangelism.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    As you and my unbiased readers are aware, that doesn’t summarize my approach to beheading. I suggested earlier that you read about the martyrs. You rejected the suggestion. That’s an option. I don’t have a gun pointing at your head. *** ”Beheadings are nothing new, and according to Revelation...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Returning to the Christian speaker in the video contained in post #1 - “Because they [Muslims] don’t like the truth.” All Muslims? The speaker appears to present the same attitude that was expressed to me several times in this thread. That attitude is patently false. Muslims have been, are...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    At the 5:07 mark in the video, the Christian speaker says this - “Ladies and gentlemen. Now notice. The Muslim that asked the question didn’t even bother to listen to the answer.” The speaker is right. The Muslim’s work was done. He quite clearly wasn’t interested in the answer. Who was the...
