A movie like that would be REALLY detrimental to a certain GW Bush
and
gang. Bush already called his invasion a Crusade. What a maroon.



The Crusades, like the Inquistion, were among the darkest, most evil
times
in all of Christendom, and were directly responsible for the Dark
Ages. It
seems strange to me that before the Crusades, nearly all human
knowledge was
concentrated in libraries built and maintained by Islam.. and Islam
was the
far more civilised and forward-thinking... gotta wonder what
happened..
maybe they are still REALLY ****ed about it??

Sorry BA, this is inaccurate. I'm not sure about the libraries part,
but the "Dark Ages" preceded the Crusades, and there were certain
positive cultural results from the Crusades (trade, written history).
