what? don't tell me my response has left you speechless. It wasn't that bad...was it?

theres one thing ive always wondered though...about the number of troops who went on the first. by the way some of the persons who wrote of the crusades, i would have to say onehundredthousand went, because with the numbers of people who died in battle, disease, etc, and to reach jerusalem with with anout 20000 people, it only seems that that would by a logical number. does that seem right?

I don't know. give me a minute.

by **strike wolf** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:40 pm

where are your friends finding the 'original' texts anyways?

by **strike wolf** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:03 pm

I shouldn't say original but what's written down in every jewish old testament. Yes I'm trying to be specific.

by **Caleb the Cruel** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:05 pm

so they get theirs from the torah... and you believe in the torah and the new testament?

by **strike wolf** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:06 pm

something like that.

well the crusades are often seen as a dark time for christianity
it is often remembered as christians killing everyone
but it was only when the stupid muslims were attacking christians at the doorsteps of christian europe before the christians took action
so in my opinion the crusades were an act of christians defending themselves

this opinion sounds apologestic

No he knows more about it than we do so I'm going with him since he has more knowledge.
