DON'T COMPARE THE CRUSADERS WITH ISIS , they weren't into raping little girls

[Gold-Shekel]

I am atheist and even in this thread I did not hide a portion of the atrocities they committed. But they were only bloody AND far from being rapey (I CONSIDER the rape of a young teen to be woorse than murdering someone in a painful way) .. contrary to their muslim opponents and the isis.

It's just not fair to compare these men with rapist savages who even justify child rape

Lol Crusaders and Inquisitors are both rapists and are on par with ISIS. What ISIS did the the Christians, Yazidi, other Muslims etc the Inquisitors and Crusaders did too to Jews, Muslim and others.

Europeans aren't more humane than other people

now , let's see what Gustave Le Bon said about crusaders in his book (La civilizacion Arabe) or the arab civilization



Quoting novels by monks, historians accompanied the malevolent crusade to Jerusalem, while the Crusaders enter the holy city they done bloody massacres, only indicate the black hatred is rooted in the hearts and minds of the Crusaders .

Robert the Monk a fanatic, a witness to what happened in Jerusalem, describing the behavior of his people, p. 325:
(We were our people roam the streets and fields and rooftops to heel their hatred and thirst of killing.

Not only the pious Knights Crusaders did that (!) So they held conference unanimously agreed on the extermination of all the residents of Jerusalem from the Muslims, Jews and Christians Kharijites (who don't agree on the same doctrine as catholics) whose number was sixty thousand

In eight days, they killed all including a woman and a boy and an old man)

what you think now?

as I said before I recognize they did wrong things , I don't consider them to be "just" but I appreciate their lack of rapey tendencies (which was unusual at their time)

well isis members can be europeans and I woiuldnt be surprised if some middle eastern christian joined the crusades (that s not exactly what you said but .. anyway )

I don't support crusades lol (to me they're just good meme material) but as I proved committing rape was against the pope's commands , they needed to avoid impure disgusting things , such as sex, during their holy journey .... like a monk.
I don't deny that there were rapists among them but they're everywhere, even among nato's armies .. what makes the difference is how much widespread is such phenomenon and as one can easily get through intuition : someone who is risking his life for his religion isnt likely to violate his religious rules (ex. extramaritial sex) . if sex was forbidden to crusades but it isnt (including rape) to jihadists you can easily come to the conclusion that one is much more rapey than the other.

regarding the inquisition: it was unjust , made no sense and wrong but its main focus was also to save the "sinner" 's soul , very few have been killed .. on the other hand isis extremists don't even try to save your soul.. they actually want you to suffer for eternity ...

again : both are bad but one is worse than the other .

Only political correctness makes Crusaders into villains. In reality they were brave heroes and defenders of Christendom. Sure they were no saints and had their sins, but without them, Islamic forces at the time would have taken over Europe. I respect all the Christian Europeans who for centuries fought to defend Europe from Moors, Saracens, Seljuk Turks, Tatars and Ottomans.
