The Crusades

It is easy to distinguish the Crusaders despite the crusaders, but there is always contradiction, so one of the reasons is not effective. The Crusades were due to competition and cultural conflict between Catholic churches and Muslims, and they all wanted power. It is easy to judge that there is competition between Catholics and Muslims.

History of the West and the Eastern mostly showed various views on the Crusaders as the Crusaders caused a series of associations that the Crusaders extremely opposed - the Crusaders are the greatest cause of the heroic struggle - the "Crusades Crusade", barbarous And synonymous with aggression. This totally different view is not recent, as Christians had "fought against enemies" and "faced another cheek" in the past due to military tension and the teaching of Christ. For these reasons, even the contemporaries, the Crusaders are controversial.

During the twelfth century the crusaders often hired mercenaries to fight during the Crusades. As Crusades are considered religious, mercenaries must be baptized before being placed in the holy ground. But when they drowned, mercenaries put their swords on the water to symbolize that their swords are one thing they would not surrender to Jesus. Please do not distort my words. I grew up in the South and are familiar with American gun culture. I do not suggest that American citizens should not have the right to choose whether they would like to own a gun. Instead, as a Christian - what should we do?

It is often said that the fundamental cause of the Holocaust is seen in these medieval massacres. It is possible. But if this is the case, those roots are deeper and wider than the Crusade. The Jews lost their lives during the Crusades, but the purpose of the Crusaders was not to kill the Jews. Totally contrary to that, the Pope, the Bishop, and the missionaries revealed that the European Jews were not disturbed. In contemporary war, these tragic deaths are called "incidental damage". Even smart technology, the innocent people killed by the United States during the war far exceeded the crusade. But no one seriously insists that the purpose of American war is to kill women and children.

In the context of the Christian Crusaders, the persecution of European Jews has increased during the Middle Ages. In the first crusade (1096), the busy communities of the Rhine and the Danube were completely destroyed; see the German Crusade in 1096. In the second crusade (1147), French Jews were often slaughtered. The Jews were also attacked by the Shepherd Crusaders in 1251 and 1320. After that the Crusaders were forcibly repatriated, including that all Jews were taken away from England King 's expulsion law by King England King Edward I in 1290. In 1394, 100,000 Jews were expelled from France. In 1421, thousands of people were expelled from Austria. Many expelled Jews fled to Poland
