that map is rather inaccurate in terms of both territory and time. the historical analysis is as terrible as one might expect.Last edited by C0ckney; January 17, 2016, 12:16."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

If we're going to count the Ottoman Empire as "jihad" shouldn't we count all of the Christian empires that conquered the Aztecs, Incas, India, etc. as "crusades"?Comment

The Catholics? Yes good point, it most certainly was the Catholics who stabbed their fellow Christians in the back and after an ogry of bloodletting and theft in Constantinople left the city so weakened that the Ottomans were able to finally conquer it.

Ah yes, the Barbary States. Particularly relevant to you I imagine because of the Treaty of Tripoli which once and for all proved that 'the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion'.Originally posted by Kidicious View Post
