text: I'm a little confused. Aren't the ones connecting terrorism to Islam in the name of Islam...Muslims who are committing these acts? What am I to think if the guy mowing down people in a truck says, "This is for Islam!" He's the guy who's Muslim and goes to Mosque, I think he would know best why he's doing it.
  
  Also, the Crusades...were carried out by Christians, and not just Pope Urban II and his supporters among the Nobility (with the rationale that the Seljuk Turks were getting too close to Constantinople). Average, everyday pilgrims, peasants, serfs, beggars... there was even a Children's Crusade! To say the Crusaders aren't Christian or acting in the name of Christ and the Church is just willful ignorance of history. There is no shame in saying that Christians were responsible for the Crusades over 1000 years ago. They were responsible, this is a fact.
