They'll be useful for live beheadings.
Muslims won’t kindly accept LBGTQ. They will just throw them over the rooftop.
**own them
FTFY
It's like the cuck mayors who endorse antifa burning their cities to the ground shortly before they came and try to burn down their own houses. Spoiler alert: the alligator doesn't eat you last.
The Crusades were a reaction to over 400 years of unchecked Muslim aggression into Europe. Anyone who argues they weren't justified is absolutely kidding themselves.
Likewise with the bullshit "Muslims kept science alive!" nonsense.
Yeah, by conquering areas where scholarly research was already being done, and laying claim to it in modern times.
That's an half-truth. While it's true Muslims preserved roughly 10% of what we had, it is themselves who destroyed the 90% we no longer have. What have they done with said preserved knowledge? NOTHING! They sat on it...
Also, while it's true the Muslims made great strides in the early scientific revolution, it's largely concentrated in astronomy. It went on for a little while then it abruptly stopped. The rest is dominated by Christians and Jews.
Ghengis Khan enters the chat
For a guy that said, “I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you,” I’m really starting to believe God actually did use the Mongols to destroy the Muslims. Such fortuitous timing that the great khan died when he did, forcing the Mongol armies that were breaching Europe to turn aside
I would argue that it was more of a target of opportunity since the caliphate was in decline. I would say it was even more of a PR move than a true military action. The Muslim aggression in Europe wasn't unchecked any more than Europeans that were too occupied with killing each other.
This. Spanish nobles were just as likely to kill each other as they were to kill the muslims. Initial muslim invasion succeeded thanks to the in-fighting of the visigoths.
Initial invasion into Europe worked because of fighting between Greece and Persia.if the two kingdoms weren’t fighting,they would have seen the threat of Muhammad’s men. The Byzantines were also weak and started promoting liberal policies.
That is pretty much how all invading forces got away with so much hundreds of years ago. Everyone pretty much hated each other and refused to work together so those who avoided such petty conflicts had free reign to do as they pleased. Mongols, Romans, and Muslims all took advantage of chaos to expand their empires with great success the Romans were just the ones who abused such power the least.
spicyfins is entirely correct.
Recommended reading for those interested in undoing the mal-education they received about the Crusades:

Sword and Scimitar by Raymond Ibrahim is another good one. He uses a lot of primary sources (Arabic, Greek, Latin, etc) on the atrocities perpetrated by Muslims against Christians. Blood curdling stuff. The book does a great job of filling in the vacuum of events that led Christendom into finally defending itself
I enjoy the education I get on TD. Refreshing to learn this side of history unlike at my college where we were encouraged by our leftist jewish professor to not do any assignments on white married men of history because “she was bored of it & preferred to read new diverse essays.” Tired of the marxism & revisionist history. But I guess it will always exist when “equality” remains the leftists’ God.
we wuz scientists and sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiit
Which was condemned by the Church.
This map appears to be inaccurate. How could you not mark the Reconquesta?! Or the Franks push before then? It also omits battles that I know were initiated by Christians in the areas around Bulgaria. I'm not a historical scholar, but have read about and seen the historical remnants with my own eyes during my travels.
True, if we're to count Muslim battles in Spain than we ought to count Christian battles there as well.
And if we’re counting Christian initiated crusades against anyone of non-Christian Origin, you have the Baltic crusades with the Teutons and Livonian order, you have countless smaller “crusades” around Europe against pagan folk. Not ripping on Christianity as I am a Christian, but I think it’s important to know that while we aren’t entirely founded on the sword like Islam, we have a bloody past as well. Don’t forget all humans are inherently flawed, but it’s what we push toward that matters. We have stepped beyond the medieval norm of mission by conquest and holy war, Islam by comparison has a ways to go.
That's true. There are some very brutal events in the history of Christianity such as the Cathar Crusade or the Constantinople Crusade of 1204, but what matters is that we've moved on since then. I personally don't feel any guilt about my great great grandfather doing what everyone else did in the Middle Ages.
"Initiated by Christians" is not the same as a Crusade. If you watch the video that OPs image is from, this is a response to Muslim go-to response to Muslim violence and genocide throughout the ages. Their response every time is "but muh Crusades!! You raped and pillaged Muslim lands and did terrible thing in the Crusades!" And the proper response to that is OPs image and showing that Christian Europe put up with 400+ years of Islamic aggression before they started even the first Crusade.
This is specifically addressing that issue.
I think the map shows the initial push into Europe. It seems to be a screenshot from an animated timeline.
The map if from a video, I forget its exact name, but this commonly shared picture is a screenshot from the middle (hence why it says new battles and old battles).
True, it’s also missing two massacres in NYC, a truck of peace event, and a few others random enlightenments.
Kings and Generals is an amazing channel
It's a screenshot of a video which timelines the battles.
Looks like meat is back on the menu boys...
GOD WILLS IT
The Greeks are getting closer and closer to going to war with Turkey.

Dr. Bill Warner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_To-cV94Bo
https://youtu.be/Hy6eZnj1gpc His name is Dr Bill Warner. A true academic and patriot. One of his many great videos.
That American Thinker article was informative in any case. And the author has a separate site called Latin Arabia which itself is full of very interesting stories and factoids about Arabs in mostly Latin countries.
Islam represents the most brutal segment of humanity EVER. Change my mind.
That literally loaded a pro-islam ad before the video. JFC
Another lesson being that these psychos are weak and crumble when faced with real opposition.
Indeed.
I looked into Muslim military history and it is rather unimpressive at the end of the day. While they have many battles and victories, they are, almost all of the time, against defenseless or very inferior (in numbers or other factors) opponents. When they are forced to fight on roughly equal terms (or sometimes not even that in terms of numbers), they seem to be decisively defeated.
Charlemagne, Reconquesta, Vienna, Six-Days War, and many other examples. I pray that the Muslims continue to be feeble and incompetent in battle and war so that their demonic dreams of world conquest will never be realized.
lmao based
Yep. Muslim armies never would have made it out of the Arabian peninsula if the Roman and Persian empires hadn't spent years beating the hell out of each other in a war of attrition.
They also had inferior technology and refused to adapt. Look into the Scimitar vs the Longsword. Long sword will win nearly every time unless outnumbered by Scimitars because it has better reach. It's dead simple science, yet they clung to the scimitar for centuries without ever realizing why they would lose so badly in real battles. I don't believe they had an equivalent to the longbow either, the 50 cal of it's day.
They didn't reach technological equilibrium with the west until just before WWI, which led them to a period of such overconfidence that their greatest empire collapsed in the resulting war. Everyone focuses on what the Germans did in WWI, but the fall of the Ottoman Empire was the bigger change to world history. The resulting power vacuum directly resulted in nearly every conflict on this planet since, including WWII.
Now they have a significant foothold in every western nation, with individuals in prominent positions across the tech and political sector. We're one unified leader away from the biggest shitstorm the world has ever seen.
Scimitars are designed for murder not combat.
dont fuck with white people for too long
The crusaders did nothing wrong! In fact, I think we need a 5th crusade. Deus Vult!
We already had a 5th in 1217. That one tried to break muslim regional power by capturing Egypt and almost succeeded. The last official crusade was the Crusade of Varna, which tried to push the Ottomans out of the Balkans in 1443.
But yeah, I dunno what number we're on, but we need another. And it needs a unified command structure, that lack is the main cause of failures in past ones.
Well in that case,Jefferson's ordering of the United States Navy to destroy the barbary states should so count. They were enslaving Americans because wrong religion. The US was only a fledgling power then, but utterly destroyed the muzzie scum. Let's do it again.
We should do a proper reboot of the Crusades. Start from the start with the first one again, but to it right this time.
And this does not include the 'TOTAL SLAVES TAKEN' by each side either...
Because Crusaders took no slaves.....
But Islam is the "Greatest Slaver the World has ever known."
And Islam still sells slaves to this day.
The areas of the crusade battles are Christian land too. There was the Eastern Roman Empire over there. The middle East became Muslim only through invasion and conquest by the Arabs.
The only land that really should be Muslim is the Arab peninsula.
Like Muhammed took more than his first city with anything other than violent conquest of Jews and Christians (and pagans to be fair, that's how they got Mecca afterall).
True, but population / race wise they were Arabs.
Contrary to popular belief, Arabs are not native to areas of the middle East like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, etc. They conquered those places.
Correct. To my understanding, the Levant's Syriac Christians (including, but not limited to, Assyrians) and the Maronite Christians of Lebanon are the last surviving descendants of its indigenous population, with a history reaching back to Babylon, Assur and Canaan. On the other hand, the ancestors of today's Muslim Arabs were Bedouin interlopers who followed Muhammad from their homeland in the Nejd (central Saudi desert).
Yes. There's also some more religious and ethnic minorities, such as the Yazidi in Syria and Iraq, that were exterminated by the group that Obama supported.
Most of the people in those lands are not native arabs;they are just Arabic speaking people.
Europe put up one hell of a fight.
The Ottoman Turks (Muslims, of course) spent centuries trying to fight their way into Europe from the East, and they devastated Austria, which they saw as their way into Europe. They laid siege to Vienna twice: once in 1529, and then once in 1683, when they almost succeeded. Vienna had been ravaged by plague in 1679, and in 1683 the city was on the brink of falling, when who swooped in to save the day? The king of Awesome Based Poland, that's who. Jan Sobieski swept in with his Polish troops, routed the Turks, and saved Vienna (and Christendom).
Throughout history, Muslims have been aggressors.
Absolutely true. Their religion has spread almost entirely by the sword and by coercion of conquered peoples through heavier taxes on non Muslims and other repressions.
Here is a fun fact: the so called Islamic Golden Age never existed. Although there was a period of time when the arts and sciences flourished in Muslim occupied lands, this is because Muslims then only made up about ten percent of the population. Once they became the dominant culture, they stiffed all progress.
There used to be this trope in historical studies that Islamic thinking was a match for Western thinking, and that if not for the Mongols the Islamic world would have continued on an enlightened and rationalistic path that marginalized the fundamentalistic currents which later evolved into Salafism & Wahhabism. But nowadays, even actual Muslim scholars won't dispute that what we recognize as rational and scientific thought was already on its way out in the Islamic world even before Genghis Khan leveled Baghdad's House of Wisdom in 1258.
It turns out that Muslim rationality and scholarship, best exemplified by the Mu'tazilite school of thought, derived heavily from Greco-Roman Platonic thought - it really wasn't an original creation of Islam, in other words - and unpopular with the vast majority of Muslims anyway. To such an extreme, in fact, that there had been a traditionalist backlash to it (starting with, but in no way limited to, the rival Ash'ari & Athari schools which still dominate Islam today) for centuries before Genghis Khan was even born.
But "Muh Zero"
And the day when the Winged Hussars defeated the Turks was September 11th, 1683.
If someone pshaws this, ask them - Islam was founded by Mohammed in the Arabian Peninsula. So how did they get control of Jerusalem, and then how did they make their way across Africa into Spain?
That's right, kids. They used bloody warfare.
Early Christianity made its way through the Roman Empire with words and letters. From its very beginning, Islam converted by slaughtering people.
The education systems of the world are slanted to destroy Christianity.
Change my mind.
Interesting
Islamists' ultimate argument: It'S AlL FoR SeLf-DeFeNsE, BrO.
Anyone that hates on the Crusades for being shitty and unjust have no idea how ridiculous the Muslim conquest was after Muhammad's death. If the Hammer didn't stop them at Tours all of Western civilization may have fell.
What religion was Mohammad born into? It wasn't Christianity, and it certainly wasn't polytheistic.
You have the correct information. I just want to point out the that highest deity in the pantheon and even above Hubal was Allah. Quraish believed in Allah as the Supreme God above all but they associated all these deities with Him and even said He has daughters “Lat , Uzza and Manat” .The Kaaba itself was dedicated to Allah and there around it was 300+ statues for all the Arab gods. The most important of which was Hubal.
Mohammed’s central message was to cast all these deities and lesser gods as idols and to proclaim God (Allah) as the one and only true God. Of course Quraish wasn’t too happy about Mohammed insulting their gods so they sought to ruin him and even tried to kill him but they failed.
Moon Rock.... (actually an asteroid)
They worshipped it before Islam confiscated everything.
Check the documentary I posted in this thread. A Muslim faction may have moved both Mecca and the Kaaba from it's original location at Petra. It's only a theory, but the archaeologist makes a good argument for it.
As I understand, they were pagans who intermingled their beliefs with those of Jews and Christians in the Middle East.
When you get the time, you might want to check out this documentary by Dan Gibson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jg5d3w4ROQ

There's still time lads we could buy swords online just sayin
Islam represents the most brutal segment of humanity EVER. Change my mind.
Does the 4th crusade not count? Lol.
I want to clarify something here: The Crusades are not equivalent to islamic terror/jihad. The Crusades happened because after hundrets or thousands of muslim attacks on orthodox christians, the catholic pope decided to help them out, even though they belonged to a rivaled church!
The Crusades were self-defense and a wonderful example of how different christians can put their differences aside to help each other, meanwhile muslims kill and hate each other almost as much as they hate us!
Some things never change
The crusades were defensive wars.
The Crusades were justified and didn't happen until after 400 years of looting, raping, conquest, murder, and slave taking of Europeans... by muslims.
Facts. Learn em folks.
Go ahead and add most of Europe, Sweden and the UK
Saved. Single handily defeats the “mUh CRuSadEs” narrative.
it was a mostly peaceful jihad you biggots
That's a great video presentation put out by PRof Bill Warner. Every schoolkid should have to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y
We need to pump those numbers up.
Gee, it almost looks like they were trying to invade and conquer Europe.
The Crusades were a counter-attack against Muslim assaults and invasions of Christianity.
The crusades were DEFENSIVE.
I say this sincerely, but FUCK ISLAM. They destroyed untold amount of knowledge when they invaded the world. Burned books and scrolls. Forever gone. Fuck their backwards, fake religion.
Islam masquerades as a religion, it is not. It is a political, warring doctrine of conquest and control by the word of Mohammad. Not GOD. It is all to propagate subjugation with force and death.
† Deus Vult †
We're obviously not trying hard enough.
The invasion of europe by Muslims was going on for ~400 years before we fought back.
MAKE ISTANBUL CONSTANTINOPLE AGAIN
The Reconquista is one of the most important campaigns/movements in world history.
Damn. How did Spain bounce back? Ouch.
Easy. A bunch of Galician-Portuguese and Germanic knights got so fed up with Spanish infighting that they decided to take things into their own hands and take their country back. That's how we ended up with Portugal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GRkl04iUYw
That's not really true. There were a lot of battles in North Africa against the moors led by Portugal.
It's a screenshot from a video that was adding the dots as a timer tucked off the years, those happened later. The muslim conquest battles in India and southeast Asia are also missing, as are the Northern crusades and Albegenisian crusade, but the ratio is still basically correct.
Here is what 0bama has to say: national prayer breakfast If you can muster the willpower to put up with the worst president in US history talking for a minute.
Reconquista should be there. Do better.
They forget the crusades were.a response to the Muslim invasion of jerusalem.
Yuup enjoyed the way the Food professor explained this information.
A professor gave a talk on this with these graphics and stated that over 14 centuries the muslims killed a total of 170 million, comprising Christians, Hindus and all sorts of others.
Explains why me, being part Italian, Greek, Spanish, Sicilian, and Azerbaijani, looks quite middle eastern. Thank God I'm a Christian.
I mean.... objectively speaking, if i grew up in "south or east of europe".... i'd wanna move my people to Europe if possible. Far more temperate and hospitible region of the world in comparison. xD A for effort, but they failed.
