Waves of Anti-Semitic Rallies Hits Cities Across Germany

No it is not horseshit or any other **** for that matter and if it was not for the Byzantine Empire and the fortified city of Constantinople holding out until 1453 the Western world would now likely be Muslim by way of the sword.

The Christians won the Western world by way of the sword. Given the genocides, slavery and brutal wars that happened in the Western world, do you think they did a good job?

Christian societies don't have a very good track record.

I see you're changing your story now.

You're also ignoring that the crusaders plundered Hungary, plundered the Empire, ignored the Turks in Anatolia, and then marched into Syria and Palestine to carve out fiefs for themselves.

You also continue to portray Muslims as a part of some monolithic threat to Europe. There's just no basis in fact for that claim.

Like Bill, you want to suggest that the Turks were motivated by a rabid desire to spread Islam at the point of the sword because they were all religious fanatics, while poor, innocent christians were just defending themselves.

You're just peddling far right-wing, anti-Muslim polemic.

Tell me who in Europe was invaded by "Muslims" ( a vague enough term) during the period of the crusades. You're going to come up short there, because the Ottoman Turks didn't begin their assault on the empire until the end of the 13th century, almost a century after the fourth crusade.

You just don't have any historical facts on your side--you've just got your propaganda.

The first event that ultimately triggered the Crusades was the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 1009. This provoked widespread public outrage that fueled popular support for the Crusades.

Really, you don't have an historical leg to stand one.

You really have a hard time keeping your story straight.

Now you're saying that an event in Palestine so outraged Europe that it lead to the crusades--86 years later?

Dude, get a cup of coffee and introduce yourself to reality.

You continue to ignore that the crusaders did nothing to turn back the Turks.

In fact, they just came to Syria and Palestine to attempt to carve out fiefs for themselves.

Do you allege that the people living in Anatolia then (chiefly those we now call Armenians) were more content to have Frankish soldiers rape their wives and daughters, slaughter or drive off their livestock and plunder their homes rather than see the Turks do so?

Really, you don't have an historical leg to stand one.

Not only re history.

I say that the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was only one of multiple triggering events.

According to Pew polls of European opinion, the vast majority has a favorable opinion of Jews, while those with an unfavorable opinion have decreased consistently over the decades. Specifically, the unfavorable to favorable split in a poll released in May was 5 percent to 82 percent in Germany, 7 percent to 83 percent in the UK, and 9 percent to 89 percent in France. In Spain, it was 18 percent to 72 percent, in Italy 24 percent to 65 percent, in Poland 26 percent to 59 percent, and in Greece 47 percent each.

However, opinions about Israel are much more critical. A Pew poll in 2013 found 44 percent of the British had an unfavorable opinion of Israel, 62 percent in Germany, and 65 percent in France. In other words, opposition to Israeli government policies has been rising throughout most of Europe, while anti-Semitism has declined.
In polls taken since the most recent Israeli invasion, the British public thinks both Hamas and the current Israeli government are guilty of war crimes in almost equal shares. In Germany, another poll showed more than half of the population splits the blame between Hamas and Israel. Europeans are also critical of their governments for their pro-Israeli bias. Close to 90 percent of Germans said their government should not publicly defend Israel.

this just could be some kind of one off thing, i mean, i'm pretty sure nothing like this has happened before in Germany

So it appears you only see territorial "theft" when Muslims are the successful power. You are typical of an anti-Muslim bigot.

You can't blame me that your Latin is so bad to read the original sources.

Self delusion knows no bounds.
