The Christians started the Crusades, as I recall. And all you have to do to beat God is build a bunch of iron chariots.

where did that iron chariot thing come from anyway? I've always been incredibly curious about that...

No One: I got it from another poster here. Somewhere in the OT, I think, or maybe Revelation.

About muslims;
What the? Sorry no, At no point during the crusades did the muslims try to have world domination.
And no they are not trying it now.

Now, now, this is a person who thinks that all of history is comprised of 6000 years worth of time. Expecting accurate history reporting from them is a pretty high demand for their protozoan mental capacity.

Well, the first Crusade was called because the Turks were taking Byzantine land, so I guess a case could be made that the Crusades were called to counter Muslim conquest of (Orthodox) Christian lands...
... but I have no idea what he means by 'failed miserably' though. The Eastern Roman Empire no longer exists, and most of it became part of the Ottoman Empire and now belongs to Turkey. It's every Crusade after the first that ended in miserable failure.

Christians did start the Crusades in response to Turkish encroachment on Byzantine.
But that didn't account for the second, third, fourth, and fifth Crusades.

Of course this was after god had "told" Judah that he was with him and that he would defeat the caanites and take all of their lands. Apparently god forgot about the iron chariots and also that he was somehow powerless against them. Gotta love the old testament "righteous" slaughter though, the jews come out of Eygpt,and find this great place to live. Too bad it is full of people already, so of course as gods chosen people they slaughter everyone and take it for themselves, YAY!
At least some of the Caanites lived unlike several other peoples they slew down to every woman and child and then even their livestock...

If God is going to step in why were you so keen to send the Army and Marines in first?

And no they are not trying it now.
Yes, certain radical ones of them are--trying such things as pushing the UN to make ridiculing Islam a crime, and making such statements as "we will take over Great Britain through breeding". You can google both of those things. However, I don't think god is going to step in, I think it's something we all have to be aware of and oppose vociferously.

uh... yeah, the crusades... didn't actually work so well for your lot. In fact, pretty much every time the big fight Muslims v Xtianity went into another round you guys lost worse than before.
