Which invasion was the problem, again, the one that granted the caliphate control of the city, or the one that ousted them? On the subject of people accepting responsibility for the destruction they cause, had the religion of peace not engaged in the most explosive campaign of military expansion seen since the roman empire.........maybe there would have been no crusades? Maybe, what if, etc tc etc. The important thing is, it's not islams fault, it wasn't anything the caliphate did....cause, you know, look how well the invasion of spain turned out, lol?

Have to say I`m still unclear as to why we would be subjects of the Pope?
Also I`m curious as to Atlas` views regarding Ahmadi Islam.
Interesting point on the Seljuks. I`m more used to seeing the Turks as an offshoot of the Mongols.

All wars are for resources.
Any other reason given is bollocks to convince the idiots to fight and die.

I for one am utterly shocked and dismayed to learn that the Pope of the Holy Roman and Apostolic Church would do something so venal and unethical. I'll have to consult my rosary about this.

It is OK to be a messed up kid if your parents are messed up. You will have trouble in life if your dad is an abusive alcoholic. But , at a certain age you have to get over it and take responsibility for your own troubles. Stop blaming mom and dad. If at 25-30 years old you are still blaming them , we call that dysfunctional. Very dysfunctional if you are even blaming grandma and grandpa too. Worse yet, blaming your neighbors ancestors from 1100 A.D. because your life is fucked up.

♫ We hijacked the pope mobile painted it red white n blue
We took it to Derry's walls and up the shankill too
We took it to sandy row to see King Billy on his horse,
Where he knelt n kissed King Billy's feet and the horses arse! ♫

To Hell with King Billy and God bless the Pope
If that doesn't do it, we'll tear him in two
And send him to Hell with his red white and blue.'

Oh give me a home,
Where there's no Pope of Rome
Where there's nothing but Protestants stay.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And flute bands play The Sash every day.

Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders,
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.'
