The “terrorists” say they are angry at the Catholic church for the Crusades. Why then shut out the Protestants, who almost all disagreed with the Catholic church that the Crusades were appropriate?

4. Yo! Freep! You missed the mark by several hundred years, Whistledick!
Makes Bluto Blutarsky's 'Germans bombed Pearl Harbor' remark look like genius in comparison.

7. OF course the irony of that statement is that today
the Catholic Church does not give a whole lot of thought and or worry to the Holy Land and who holds it. They are much more concerned about the Vatican. It is the evangelicals who are constantly worried about Jerusalem.

10. More like 300-500 years ....
The crusades took place between 1095 and 1291. Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg in 1517.

17. Well, now perhaps they know what it feelslike . . .
. . . to be unfairly branded by the actions of one particular sect or faction within a larger group of which they happen to be members.

"Ground Zero Mosque" anyone?
