I didn't think gunpowder was invented yet at the time of the crusades.

The Crusades were before the Pilgrims even landed on North American shores. The Crusades were campaigns not unlike the Moors invading Spain or the Ottomons expanding their empire - the battle cries in latter cases being "kill the infidels". However, without reviewing the merits or evils of the Crusades, my point is still valid. I don't believe the terrorist tactics are morally justified, and making excuses saying that it is the only means available, is the same as defending murderers. My main point was, the leaders of Palestine need to be held to higher standard than they have been.
