gold is money ... gold coins used by crusaders, page-7

The crusaders were heroes. They faced almost certain death in a strange land thousands of miles from home.

The first crusades was a response to Ottoman expansion, particularly Manzikert.

The East celebrates its jihadists why dont we celebrate the Crusaders?

Why dont you criticise the muslim colonisers of Mesopotamia, the middle-east, Anatolie etc... far easier to take a cheap shot at the people who tried to do something about it.

Thank heavans for the Crusaders who made the muslims realise their projected aim on one world one religion was never going to happen and they would have to coexist on earth.
