>I never said that Islam is any better than Christianity, they're even more disgusting, but that doesn't change the fact that Crusades lead to killing in the name of Christianity.
The crusades were a long overdue response to Muslim invasion of huge swathes of Christian land over hundreds of years. Those places begged the pope to defend them and didn't get get any defense for a very long time. The crusades barely made a dent compared to what Christendom had lost.
Islam spent 1400 years hacking and slashing it's way around the mediterranean, completely conquering Spain for 250+ years, until El Cid spearheaded the renconquista.
Spain was known as Al Andalus, a piece of the Umayyid caliphate.
Cicily, a major island of Italy, was also a territory of a caliphate. As you can see, Muslims also attempted to push into France and much of Eastern Europe. Some areas of the middle east we take for granted as Muslim are in fact Christian regions that were invaded.
>Are you completely ignoring other Christian murders?
Yes? I literally made a post specifically about only the crusades. Look.

>Crusades

Are you attempting to ignore the fact that Christianity stopped Islam from completely ruining Europe forever?
