Crusades for Christ

This interview with Rodney Stark is great for an insight into the fallacies of blaming so much of the Islamic Extremism that we see today on the Crusades. Rodney's  interview gives an overview of the Crusades that reflects a more balanced opinion. In one lecture I heard that the Crusades aren't the motivation for much of the Islamic Extremism that we see today because it has more to do with Colonialism and Post-Colonialism. That is as good a reason as any. Very little is written about the detriment of the Crusades for Islamic peoples until the 20th century - the same era of colonialism and post-colonialism. Interesting read! It makes me fear what I've said and will say about "history."
