Ah I see, you know more than Tom Madden. Who is he? Just the foremost Crusades authority in the United States today. When I was looking for grad schools I e-mailed Jonathan Riley-Smith and asked him where I should go in the US to study the Crusades. He said, get in touch with Thomas Madden. I got the same thing from the medieval history dept at Berkley. Madden knows everything about this period. If you have a problem with him, then it's pretty clear who is in error: you.
I'm glad that you made this comment. If all the nonsense you frequently spew doesn't already make it quite plain that your opinions are unhistorical and based in hate, then your comment about Dr. Madden makes it as plain as day. Just in case you try to delete that comment, I will quote it right here for all to see: "Fuck "doctor" maddens "arguments"." -habartalanked commenting on the research of Dr. Thomas Madden.
You cannot avoid me. Every little thing I say and do gets under your skin and drives you out of your mind. It's very funny to watch, honestly. Your total refusal to face the reality of the Crusades seems to be at the root of your hatred of me and the truth that I spread. One need only take a look at the top scholars in Crusades history today. They agree with me and they denounce your views as nonsense.
I can't understand why people on both sides can't say that it was just a terrible time in which both sides committed terrible acts? I think that when we continue to point the finger at the other side and say "they did it" we're in danger of repeating history because it seems we can't learn from it. Perhaps the crusades were launched with just cause. I think however that it's not productive to imagine that they were completely justly executed. Would it even be possible?
Great book. Everyone should read it. RIGHT NOW.
I love Raymond of Aguiliers' chronicle. It's a wonderful read.

Thank you very much, my friend! I read his book but I never heard him lecturing or being interviewed.

Why are so many Muslims so narrow-minded that authentic history throws them into hysterics?

You are obsessed with me. It's like I'm all you can think about.

They were not justly executed because Islam still exists.
