Darren, The crusades were too long ago for the muslims to still be kicking that dead horse.
The Arab world was once a mighty, grand, educational, and artistic, culture, but that was many centuries ago, and the muslim nations have degenerated into a bunch of whining, simpering, snakes. They lost their empire because they became too lazy, and complacent, to keep up with the rest of the world. Their resolve is so fractured that, IMO there will never be another saladin. They are all too petty to think that high.
Their history that has passed them by, was lost by them, and not taken from them by an outside force.
In the mid 1940s, when the Jews began returning to Israel in large numbers, they found a land that had been laid to waste by lazy, incompetent, people that cared nothing but having a few goats to eat, take their milk, and camels to ride. In a few short years, the Israelis' had turned that barren wasteland into a verdant garden. That, alone, entitles them to full ownership of Israel, and the "so called" palestinians should be driven out of the land that they have encroached upon illegally. |
