Islam didnt hold the Holy Land for 400 years, it was just over 300. Also how does that justify their murderous, rape, pillage and destroying attitude? Thats like me saying well Ive held this home for 10years, if anyone wants to evict me I can kill them, if its a woman Ill rape them or make them apart of my harem.
You deny the Crusades helped just because it was the Catholic Church that carried these out, yet if they didnt, and almost all 11, 12 and 13th century historians agree that if they didnt happen, europe wouldnt be known as it is today, The Holy Land would not have One Christian, One Jew, One Sabean left on the land. Even Protestant historians recognize this, why? They KNOW THE DANGER OF ISLAAM.
The Pharisic quote is completely unrelated. The world's people were at constant danger. You should know the Jews then only cared for Israel and not any neighboring countries.
I am fully aware of the millions of Christians who have been martyred for their faith in modern times and as you pointed out they are not Roman Catholics who are being put to the sword.
Thats a extremely bigotry view. Try India, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen. Try the Sudan if you have done your homework then you would know well about that. Try Algiers, Nigeria, Egypt. Sri Lanka is also now a hot spot.
