Quicker than me telling this....
In 1095, Alexius sent envoys to
Pope Urban II asking for mercenary troops from the West to help confront the Turkish threat. Though relations between Christians in the East and West had long been fractious, Alexius’s request came at a time when the situation was improving.
In November 1095, at the Council of Clermont in southern France, the Pope called on Western Christians to take up arms to aid the Byzantines and recapture the Holy Land from Muslim control. This marked the beginning of the Crusades.
Pope Urban’s plea was met with a tremendous response, both among the military elite as well as ordinary citizens. Those who joined the armed pilgrimage wore a cross as a symbol of the Church.
The Crusades set the stage for several religious knightly military orders, including the
Knights Templar, the Teutonic Knights, and the Hospitallers. These groups defended the Holy Land and protected pilgrims traveling to and from the region.

Keep in mind there was no USA back then. And Islam is being tolerated today. There is this false belief...."it;s just a few freaks, actually most Muslims are peace loving....blah blah blah"......talk about bull , there it is.
A good Muslim is suppose to be recruiting, yep.....change those dreaded infidels mind. The Quran makes that perfectly clear, ya join in or we will kill you.
If there comes a time Islam thinks they are ready for a major Jihad, they will get stepped on like a bug. Too damn dumb to begin with, they prove that by....I'll just blow myself up......how damn dumb are these people?
