You are simply trying to distinguish a difference. There is no difference.
Both Islam and Christianity had their murderous "Crusades" - semantics.

The point is Islam continues on with its murderous "Crusades".
Whether you wish to delineate the semantics or not is irrelevant.

You just tried to change the arguement in a desperate attempt to win
debating points. The Moslems did not take up the Cross and go
Crusading. What I wrote was correct.

The expansion of Islam was no bloodier than other conquests from that
era, and their relatively small numbers forced the Saracens to be less
bloodthirsty than the Visigoths, Goths, Vandals, Lmobars, Suevi,
Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Norsemen, etc. Many (most?) Christian
communities in north Africa and the Levant certanly survived and
thrived under Fatimites and the Hamdanids. You have been taken in by
the Crusader propaganda.
