theres one thing ive always wondered though...about the number of troops who went on the first. by the way some of the persons who wrote of the crusades, i would have to say onehundredthousand went, because with the numbers of people who died in battle, disease, etc, and to reach jerusalem with with anout 20000 people, it only seems that that would by a logical number. does that seem right?

where are your friends finding the 'original' texts anyways?

I shouldn't say original but what's written down in every jewish old testament. Yes I'm trying to be specific.

well the crusades are often seen as a dark time for christianity
it is often remembered as christians killing everyone
but it was only when the stupid muslims were attacking christians at the doorsteps of christian europe before the christians took action
so in my opinion the crusades were an act of christians defending themselves


this opinion sounds apologestic

No he knows more about it than we do so I'm going with him since he has more knowledge.

well i think he probably does know more about the crusades than either of we do but i still say it was self-defense..like israel is doing against hezbollah
