What are the similarities between Zionists and the Crusades of the medieval times ?Pope Urban II, at Clermont?
I do not see many. + The Crusades + Muslim armies had conquered much of northern Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Spain, which had been some of the most heavily Christian areas in the world. Thousands, and possibly millions, of Christians died during this drive to eventually bring the entire world under Islam. The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to check the advance of the Muslims and regain control of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. I am sure that some atrocities were committed by both sides during this war but by most people’s judgment this was a just war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Crusa… + Zionism + Zionism is a political nationalist movement to regain an autonomous Jewish homeland, begun in the 19th century and achieved with the establishment of modem Israel in 1948. With love in Christ.
