The outpouring of sympathy for past transgressions that most times don't have anything to do with current generations. Take example the idea that Christians are pressured into feeling sorrow or guilt for the Holy Crusades in the middle ages. Or another example is the actual celebration of "Black History Month", a reverse-racist idea that was brought on by Black Supremacists that wished to "get back" at the entire white American population for hundreds of years of oppression. By badgering the media with propaganda and moving speeches enabled racist blacks to attain "Black History Month" by using "Historical Guilt". Another example still is the actual foundation of the state of Israel, which was brought upon by pressure of Zionists that seeking sympathy from the horrors of the Holocaust. The United States as well as the rest of the International community owed nothing to the survivors as well as subsequent generations of Holocaust survivors, yet the "Historical Guilt" plagued them to open their checkbooks.

The Crusades were a several centuries delayed response to Islamic jihad. When Pope Urban II called the First Crusade in 1095, the followers of the prophet had already spread across the Middle East and North Africa by force.

A series of conflicts (1096-1204) in which European conscripts called by the Catholic Church attempted to conquer the Holy Land. The First Crusade (1096-1099) was actually an answer to the Byzantine Empire's (the surviving eastern half of the Roman Empire, and the largest Christian country at the time) call for assistance fighting the Muslims. Pope Urban II asked the Catholics to go on an "armed pilgrimage" to the Holy Land and establish a kingdom there. This call wasn't answered by any monarchs, and very few nobles or knights. For the most part, the "crusaders" were an angry mob of commoners such as peasants, merchants, and prostitutes. Somehow this mob managed to establish a kingdom in Jerusalem, which later fell to the Muslims. The Second Crusade (1147-1149) was a bit better organized, but was met with heavy Muslim resistance. The Third Crusade (1189-1192) was answered by King Richard I of England, King Philip II of France, and Frederick I Barbarossa of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany). Frederick drowned in a river on the way to the Holy Land, and Philip and Richard began fighting among themselves. The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) was the last major one. These crusaders weren't even after the Holy Land this time; they sought to defeat the Byzantine Empire, and thus were fighting other Christians.

A group of knights who supposedly found the Holy Grail under the Temple of Solomon DUring the Crusades. They became very rich in a very short ammount of time , though no one knows why exactly, the were destroyed just as Quickly as they popped up. It is said that the King got jealous of their riches and wanted them for himself, SO he ordered them all dead ( they were hung, burned at the stake, etc.)

A series of wars n shit that happened in ancient medieval times. So you got the Holy Land, Jerusalem. This place is like Mecca to christians and catholics. For some reason the Arabs, Islams, Saracens etc wanted it. So the Arabs marched thier huge army and said "we'll take it". Meanwhile in Europe, all the white boys there got really pissed off about this and got together, got some weapons and marched to Jerusalem getting into all kinds of shennanighans on the way. So the White boys get to Jerusalem and slaughtered the arab army and the Pope was all happy again. Then you get this guy named Saladin who had a huge army and wanted Jerusalem back from the "Blue Eyed Demons" as ahe called the white men from Europe. One of this "Blue Eyed Demons" happened to be Richard the Lionheart from england. He also had an army that was a bit smaller that Saladins but he himself was a tough, streetsmart fucker who could handle himself on the battlefield. The forces meet and a huge battle called Asurf takes place. Richards white boys win the battle against the arabs. Saladin gets realy cut about this and puts a Jihad on their ass. This is serious shit coz u got muslims with jihads and eurotrash with crusades. So the white boys spill heaps of innocent blood and kill and murder and make one hell of a mess then sign a peace treaty with the muslims. Like whiteboys do, they kill n make mess and when things get hectic they think fuck this and leave. They went back to Europe and im pretty sure that...

a shameful chapter in the history of Western civilization. About 1000 years ago Muslim rulers ruled the Holy Land and even tho they permitted Christian and Jewish pilgrims to visit there ("people of the book"), they couldn't completely eliminate the danger of bands of roving robber bandits that scoured the Middle East. This, along with the drive of religious fanaticism and the desire to snag the trade in spices from the Orient (the Arabic merchants acted as middle men in the trade traffic) were excuses to "liberate" the Holy Land. In fact, the Crusader armies raped, pillaged, plundered and killed many innocent people, including Jews and even other Christian people. At one point, they attacked the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire. These so-called "holy wars", which spanned about 200 years, were an embarassment for

A subgenre of Heavy Metal, mostly underground (I've never heard any on the radio), heavy medievel themes. Things such as Kights Templar, swrods, the Crusades, and war. That sort of stuff. Very fast. Much like death and heavy metal.
