"Our only way forward is together"
=========
Since Fitzgibbons brought Jesus's name up, I will expand on it.
-
That was Jesus's thought also: Our only way forward is together. 
-
But Jesus didn't protest. Jesus didn't counter-protest. He said what He said to those who wanted to listen and responded to those who asked questions.....without raising a fist.
-
And look where it got him. And most of His disciples. But Jesus knew and understood that this earth is not heaven or His Eternal Kingdom. 
-
He didn't come to "unite" or draw everyone "together." He came to divide, to separate the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff, and the good fish from the bad. 
-
And it shows. For info, yes, the Crusaders of the Crusades were the goats, the chaff, and the bad, stinking, smelly fish. They acted like the sinful, hateful humans they were, and not like Jesus at all.
