Bad idea to mention this as it is still a sensitive topic in the Muslim world.
If it wasn’t for the Crusades the whole of Europe would be Islamic, the Arabs started their own Crusade against the Christian world at the beginning of the 7th century and continued until the combined Western countries, or Christendom defeated the Islamic hordes in the 11th century…
Europe didn’t instigate the Wars it was Islam, the Crusades were started after 400 years of Islamic expansion into Europe.
We shouldn’t apologise for the Crusades, it kick started Western civilisation, can you imaging what Hell it would be now if Islam had been allowed to enter Europe.
