The Crusades were not "Christian wars"...they were race wars by the White Europeans

[Sarmatian]

Never existed more than 400 templar knights in "holy land", but even in this low number they are feared by their enemies. it only shows the how powerful were these warriors.

Nothing special about that. Each knight was a professional killing machine trained from the moment they could walk. Mounted they were unmatched as at the time no military tactics offered an effective counter to cavalry. Plus each knight was accompanied by few servants who were professional warriors themselves.

Just partly true. Crusades werent only against Muzzies, remember how they burnt and raped Belgrade in first Crusade. Then in 1204 they molested Greeks.Also there was Crusades against Baltics, Finnics and Russians. Alexander Nevskiy is Russian hero who save Slaviansk world against Germanic crusaders.

SEMI-GOD TURKSHITS, DISPLAYED AS ANIMALS IN A ZOO.

Tamerlane then ordered a great iron cage to be made and forced the sultan to enter it. The prisoner was chained to the iron bars of the cage and was thus exhibited to the Mongol soldiers, who taunted him as he was carried along the lines. As the army marched from place to place the sultan in his cage was shown to the people. How long the fallen monarch had to bear this humiliating punishment is not known.

...after long research into this, I come to the conclusion that the Crusades were just a racial war masquarading as a holy religious war (no other Christian group participated in it except the Europeans...the Byzantines and dhimmi Christians regretted it, just like Assyrians regret the war on Iraq today).

Discuss...

- Race is a concept born from colonization and close proximity of disparate groups. It was a non-thing back then. Your point doesn't stand on anything to begin with.

- At the very least the initial crusades where thoroughly motivated by religion.

Europeans NEVER had anything to do with the holy land

Expect, you know, when it was part of the Roman Empire and the Jews left the place to spread everywhere.
And then the millennium following that of pilgrims flowing constantly to Jerusalem and local authorities, Byzantine or Muslim, making a hefty dime of it.

Refute it

ask yourself the details of the 4th Crusade and the significance of the Verangian (frenji) guard

Farangi means Frankish/French, and by extension Catholic/Western European. Not Varangian (who weren't even Christian at the time).

Are you crazy? I'm sure there was an element of race in the crusades but mainly it was because of Islamic expansion.

Overseas Crusades had nothing to do with Islamic expansion and were kickstarted by the Turks invading the Holy Land and taking Jerusalem.

First of all Byzantines were not more or less European than the Crusaders, also, not only some participated and there is a thread about it in TA, but also they were the reason to start the crusades

Considering the fundamental framework for what we think as Europe being the leftovers of the Carolingian Empire, Frankish kingship, Latin Roman law and religion... Then Greeks were absolutely less "European".

trade already existed (Al-Andalus was getting spices and goods from the East Indies no problem)...Crusades just opened up Western Europe to the globalism (silk trade), so your ancestors got things like soap etc for the first time.

The West-East trade was almost shut down by the Islamic mess in Central Asia and the An Lushan rebellion in China. Before that the commerce of Silk was considerable in the West, and Roman, Gothic and Frankish coffers were consistently emptied to pay for it.
It's well known that it ruined to some extent to Roman economy at times.
As usual you're talking out of your ass.
