You would need a long succession of popes to recruit desperate people and give them dispensation to rape, pillage and murder in the name of JC to achieve that.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
You should go and read a bit about the Crusades, and not just the bad stuff that makes you feel superior to Christians but ALL of it.

Another liberally educated intellectual.
So the Crusades was about Christian rape and pillage ?
I guess we went to different schools.
Sure, most Muslims are decent people despite their religion, but let me put it this way: Why are there no Christian, Buddhist or Hindu terrorists killing people around the world for religious reasons?

We can't talk about that.
Just keep repeating.."Islam is the religion of peace". "These are fringe extremists, not the entire population".
There are two answers to Islamic terrorism. One, ignore it. Two, nuke them. Anything in between is useless. Ignoring doesn't help, but they will continue as long as they exist. Diplomacy, sanctions, etc have no effect on them. Killing them ALL (which would mean loss of millions of innocent lives) is the only way to stop them.
Excellent read, especially for those inclined to paint 2 billion Muslims with a broad brush. The Islamic State does not define all Muslims. There are intrinsic differences between Al Qada and the Islamic State.
It gave me a deeper appreciation for the orgininal context of Sharia Law- social and economic justice including free housing, food, clothing, healthcare and jobs for those who care to enrich themselves. And for this reason the Islamic State considers Saudi Arabia an enemy because those benefits are not extended to Muslims outside the vast Royal Famiky Kingdom.
It also demonstrates the Islamic State obsession with end times no different than some Christian denominations/ sects and dismissed by mainstream Muslims and Christians.
Makes me wonder which US presidential candidate the Islamic State most favors to " bring it on".
well... lets be clear here, none of those Christians who are hyper focused on end time eschatology are doing anything violent to bring it about.... ISIS however is raping, killing and enslaving tens of thousands....
I'm not sure what the best solution is, but I can only imagine a ban like that would only fuel the hate and make recruitment easier for them.
I would think those who have been here for X number of years, working and assimilated, would go on doing what they've been doing without any interference from the government or ignorant citizens who just don't like anyone who is Muslim.
But anyone who seems to follow the more strict adherence of Muslim law, who isn't for the most part, westernized, should probably remain under the scrutiny of the departments that didn't vet them in the first place. I say didn't vet them in the first place because most of those who are more entrenched than wearing a hijab weren't born here.
And yes, it will fuel the hate if we don't allow any in, because the haters have a goal in mind which they've expressed over and over. Their goal is to do what they're doing in Europe - to enter countries under the guise of being refugees and then commit acts of violence. ISIS has said this is what they're doing. We have seen this is what they're doing. Yet some remain in disbelief.
But apart from that is the inability of the Muslims coming out of certain countries to assimilate in their new country. Do you really want what's happening in Germany, in Paris, in England, in Sweden, etc. to happen here?
