| Count Nosferatu | September 3rd, 2004 12:14 PM | Re: Islam- Religion of violence The Crusade argument is a load of PC rubbish... in many an occasion the Christian crusaders and their masters were more intent on plundering Byzantium. And the whole Us V them mentality is proved utterly wrong by the example of Venice. The Pope gathered a coalition of some significant European powers to curb and reduce the influence of Venice which was a principle military and commercial asset AGAINST the Turks.
Obviously some Xians hated the Muslims... just as some muslims now hate Xians but that doesn't justify calling a whole faith violent.
To do that you need to analyse the scripture and customs respective of each faith. |
