I find it extremely funny how these idiots love to invoke the crusades every chance they get. Reading about Crusader history you'd find that, other than the first Crusade, they were largely a failure and failed to achieve their goals (especially after Saladin captured Jerusalem).
Not to mention the fourth crusade, were Crusaders sacked not 1 but 2 Christian cities.
This was my thought as well.
People who think this way have clearly never cracked open a history book.
Or in December 1098 when crusaders cannibalized the city of Ma‘arra. So heroic…
Reading? They don’t do that. But crusade art slaps
