Why does people seem to think that the crusades was just some barbaric monsters that had negative effect on Europe? It's straight out sad how they are portrayed by the mainstream today.
>2/3rds of the christian civilization had been stolen by the muslim invaders before the first crusade even took place >Sure, the 4th crusade which sacked Constaniople etc. was a failure - but that doesn't speak for the first 3. >These heroes paid the ultimate price to protect our civilization. - They also gave Europe time to protect herself against future Islamic invasions. >They are the reason why you are not an arabic-speaking shitcunt who praises allah 5 times a day >They are the reason why the USA is even a country
>Christian or not, we owe them every bit of gratiude
WHERE WERE YOU FAGGOTS WHEN THE BALKANS GOT INVADED?! FUCK YOU!
Mason Perez
We owe neither gratitude or disrespect for people invading land It's just what everybody did back then
William Scott
This post has to do with the defence against the islamic invasions of Europe, it has nothing to do with the balkan invasions

>This post has to do with the defence against the islamic invasions of Europe, it has nothing to do with the balkan invasions Where do you think the Balkans are, Nordcuck?
>They are the reason why the USA is even a country Implying that's a good thing.
David Parker
Back then? lmao. Your country has already been invaded and is about to be conquered as well, you moron. You're just too blind to see it
Oliver Clark
Getting stabbed in the back by Protestants and then defeating the Ottomans at the Gates of Vienna. Why did you let the Turk into Europe in the first place you weak cunts.
Jose Nguyen
Does your country have a lot of goth and black metal girls?
Michael Jones
Fuck you anglo. We fought the Turkroaches for centuries, but we were outnumbered, yet we still fought on. You faggots could have gave us some help.
Justin Wilson
Oh, I need coffee. I read Baltic, lol. But still, the balkan invasions by Islam happened at a time where Europe had gathered strenght to fight back (because of the time the crusades had given). If the invasions of the balkans had happened just a century before, we wouldnt have stood a chance.
>Implying thats a good thing A hell of a lot better than being part of an islamic empire?
Juan Phillips
Balkan Invasions happened after you idiots sacked Constantinople.
>A hell of a lot better than being part of an islamic empire? We are currently under the Judeo-Burgermutt rule. It's equally bad if not worse.
Nevertheless, do you fuckers still have goth and black metal chicks in Norway?
Connor Cook
Do you honestly think the sacking of constantinople even made a fraction of a difference? sacked or not, It wouldnt have stood a chance. But yes, as I already addressed in my original tweet - the 4th crusade was a failure.
>do you fuckers still have goth and black metal chicks in Norway? No we don't. But we still have larpers like Varg

>Do you honestly think the sacking of constantinople even made a fraction of a difference? sacked or not, It wouldnt have stood a chance. But yes, as I already addressed in my original tweet - the 4th crusade was a failure. Yeah, you destroyed Byzantium allowing the Turks to pour in with ease.
>No we don't. But we still have larpers like Varg Are some of them at least qt grills?
Jayden Sullivan
Constantiople wouldnt have lasted a day's siege. But yes, for 500th time. the sacking of Constantinople was a mistake, obviously. They shouldve reinforced it instead.
>Are some of them at least qt grills? who? norwegian goth girls? fuck no
Jayden Myers
>the sacking of Constantinople was a mistake A mistake that overrides anything good that they did. Literally who the fuck cares about (((Jerusalem.)))
>who? norwegian goth girls? fuck no Where the fuck am I going to get a qt goth gf then?
Nolan Williams
>A mistake that overrides anything good that they did It's sad how people think that. Watch the short video I linked in my original post, and come back if you still think his statements are wrong. (The man in the video has studied crusade history for years). Check out his channel. Europe would be dead before the 4th crusade even took place if it wasnt for the first 3 crusades.
>Where the fuck am I going to get a qt goth gf then? Ask Varg
Anthony Scott
Jews, no its not a joke. >2004/5 senior year in school, for some reason English is now history, Crusades are brought up as a way to show the evils of Europeans to the poor world >Destroy this in my class, by mentioning what the moslems did, and in the cafeteria I demolish a teacher by having a live debate in front of the whole school, where he had to admit the Crusaders were not evil, and that he, and all teachers are forced to teach it that way as its mandated by the state of Maryland. EVERYTHING that Maryland does, is thanks to Baltimore, and the fucking DC area. Know who the leaders of this shit are?
I don't care if you are Christian, "pagan", Pagan, or Atheist/Agnostic. Had it not been for Christianity, Europe would have fallen to the whoresons of Arabia. All this shit pushed today about how islam is just part of the other two Abrahamic religions is a fucking joke. Jews were in Arabia for a long, long time, and so even without Christianity existing, mohammad would have still raised with islam, but it would be just a extension of Judaism, and not Christianity, so thus even more brutal then it is now.
Alexander Lopez
I don't really care either way; I just want a fucking goth gf. I was hoping Norway would have some. I was putting serious consideration on moving there in 2-3 years after I finish a joke.

lmao, I reckon my subconscious took over when writing that, as getting a degree is basically a joke.

>wasting your time and resources to die in sands of jewland instead of retaking Ibarian penisula. Crusaders were brainlets. All they menaged to do was unite fractioned muslims. If not for mongols the muslim counterattack would take way more than just Constantinopole.
William Thompson
>If not for mongols the muslim counterattack would take way more than just Constantinopole. They still managed to take the Balkans :(
Liam Ramirez
>Destroy this in my class And then everyone clapped. Are you a marine per chance?
Kayden Evans
Well, balkans were filled with those ebil ortodox so they don't count. Catholic preffered balkans to be muslim.
Wyatt Richardson
A lot of the Balkans is, or at least was, Catholic. Albanians and Bosnians were all Catholics.
Isaac Scott
Just gonna leave this here.
Asher Baker
>unite fractioned muslims Exactly the opposite, actually. Whilst the mudslimes had to reconquer lands the first 3 crusades had taken, Europe were given time to protect itself against future invasions. This is even addressed in the short video I linked, explained by someone who has studied crusade-history for years. So please watch and educate yourself (even though self-education isnt a popular thing on pol)
Asher Young
>wasting your time and resources to die in sands of jewland instead of retaking Ibarian penisula What are the Knights of Santiago. Knights Templar had bases of operations there, and when they fell thanks to the French, most recorded Templar Knights went to Iberia, and formed the Knights of Christ, and helped retake Iberia, as well as giving a helping hand to Columbus, in finding "India", thus giving Europe a escape route from islam, and all the resources one could ever dream of.
you must be that one polshill I see turn up often. Did a priest touch you or something?
Carson Thompson
Are you by chance a """Spanish American"""?

I've been reading up on the crusades. Currently at the beginning with of the third crusade. The crusades were nowhere as religious as you people want to belive. It was basically a religious attempt to colonize the east. The reason the crusades were called in the first one place is because they Catholic Church wanted to mend ties with the orthodox after the schism.
Frankly the only reason the crusaders got lucky is because muslims were too bust fighting themselves to worry about them. In fact both nur al din and saladin both had multiple opportunities to destroy the crusaders states but they preferred them as neighbors to the greeks. Crusades were pretty dope tho
Justin Moore
Angelo-Celtic(probably a Teepee in there somewhere), like nearly everyone native to Appalachia. Italians came in around the end of the Civil War to lay the railroad tracks, and again after the end of WWII, but since they are Catholic, few inbreeding was done with them, till very recently. Catholics were so hated, some Italians laying the railroad vanished without a trace, never to be seen again, if you get my meaning.

About as Catholic as America is white.

That isn't accurate. Maybe that's for Kosovo, but not Albania. Either way, I'm going to bed. Have a good one.

If you're interested in the crusades I'd also advise you to visit Real Crusades History on youtube. He has years of education regarding the history of the crusades.
>Dying for a bunch kiddie-diddling blaspheming, saint worshipping pagans larping as Christians in order to maintain their stranglehold of power in Europe, persecuting artists, scientists, and philosophers and keeping Europe in the dark ages
I would unironically rather die for Israel, you ignorant, christcucking tool. Go back to your fucking Bible study group - Cred Forums is a secular board

Love that guy and his channel, I haven’t visited it in a while, I need to go back to it. Also, love his video on the Norwegian Crusade. Viking Christians best vikings.
