    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “We must remember our history … because the Muslims do. Difficult as it may be to fathom, there was a time when Christians butchered Muslims and Jews in the name of Jesus Christ and declared our own version of jihad, Christian jihad.” (Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner, Christian Jihad...
