Have any of you ever read about the Crusades?

Here is what the dictionary has to say about it:

cru·sade
Pronunciation:
\krü-ˈsād\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
blend of Middle French croisade & Spanish cruzada; both ultimately from Latin cruc-, crux cross
Date:
circa 1708
1: capitalized : any of the military expeditions undertaken by Christian powers in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to win the Holy Land from the Muslims
2: a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm

The Crusades, as I read about them many years ago in school, were a time of chaos and mass murder, when frenzied religious zealots went off and destroyed opposing churches, killed large numbers of people, burned heretics and conducted auto-da-fes and such. To celebrate this insanity, the equivalent in its time of last century's holocaust in Germany, or the bombing of the world trade center on 9-11, by having such things as the Billy Graham Crusades, Campus Crusade for ----, or this particular crusade, is, to me, glorifying the mass murder of all those who don't agree with the self-proclaimed xn majority. Would anyone think of publicizing a Children's Holocaust, or giving air time to a Billy-Graham-Let's-Kill-or-Convert-All-the-Non-Christians-and-Burn-Their-Buildings event? That is, precisely and exactly, what a crusade is.

These people are sick and evil.

Those who do not learn from history...
