Muslim's Burn Catholic's

Don't worry, all of this is gods plan. I'm sure there is a lesson somewhere.

By some estimates, about 1 million died over the 200 years of crusades? Hitler killed that many Jews every year.

I think dismissing current activities because of the actions in the past is a foolish move.

right.

yeah, who's doing that estimating? The downside to the crusades is that we are only hearing the numbers that we have acess to today, and we have no idea if the recorded numbers were anything close to accurate. Ex: each night generally had around 5 traveling with him, but only his name would be listed.

This is somewhat interesting in terms of death associations in history: http://www.necrometrics.com/pre1700a.htm

At the end of the day, it's money/power though. I mean, I do agree people use religion to control some and justify their attrocities - but there are some puppet master that are generally doing it for power or money.

That's just my opinion though.

Now, for the article - do we have any way to prove it? I try to validate everything I can and not assume something is as presented on a random article.

Disgusting if true.

While I can't verify this particular one, killing of churchgoers in Nigeria is pretty common.
I was actually expecting to see the photo from the article show up in a reel of photos from when hundreds of Nigerians were killed as they were trying to salvage oil from an over turned tanker that exploded. So far, I have not been able to find this photo turn up anywhere else. Nor can I find another news article to corroborate this one.

How many people lived in that time period? What percent was 1 million people?

[The King]

more blood has been shed under in the name of god than any other.

yeah, who's doing that estimating?

Indeed, who's doing that estimating?

[Baron Von Crowder]

prove me wrong.

prove me wrong.

You made the original statement, prove it right.

I on the other hand have not made any posts in this thread requiring further validation.

I found another article, with a different angle on the pic.

EDIT: According to this earlier report, it wasn't Catholics.

EDIT EDIT: Here's a vague report of it simply being Christians, but even earlier than the other two reports. So, who knows where the truth is.

No.

And in an effort to be a bit nicer on the board as of late: You called me out on my statement. Ill sleep just fine tonight knowing that you have no way to disprove that statement, and likely dont have the ability to know where to start looking for the totals to add them together. You want to argue, find some information to prove me wrong. Ill be her waiting sweetie.

It's odd, you taking this stance... In every thread that I can recall I've asked you for evidence for something you've taken the same stance Baron has.

No.

I can't stand the king, but he's right in this respect. He doesn't have to prove you wrong, you have to prove you right.

However, according to Wikipedia the crusades killed between 1 and 3 million people but the sources given are over 100 years old and I'm not sure of the authors' credentials.

[The King]

Doesnt matter, they are a slight blip on the scale of bloodshed over the last 2000 years.

No.

You pulled the statement above completely out of your ass, and it showed. You have no numbers, no proof, and no argument. Sorry that upset you dumplin', but it happens so deal with it.

So what excuse did communist regimes use for their slaughter during this century?

Weren't the jews killed... because they were jews?
