No I'm not mistaking the Crusades with the inquisition and I am incredibly amused you guys in here actually think the armies of Christ were somehow a force for good and did no wrong, as if they didn't destroy anyone in their path. Civilians included.
The Crusades were a fight against an enemy of Christendom but you seem to be all for it. Including the bloodshed.
Has Afghanistan and Iraq not opened your eyes? Syria? These people may not have high IQs but they will throw themselves at you with everything they have and their entire people too.
If you want to fight Islam you're going to need to fight them in the ME. We're talking genocide here because you won't be delivering freedom anymore but straight up anti-Islam military action. Most people here believe in religion, be it Islam or Christianity. Are you prepared to slaughter these people?
Are you prepared to fight upwards of 1 billion people, including those in your home countries who will almost certainly cause havoc. Before you know it there is a Children of Men issue. A scene in that movie shows a town or small city with Muslims parading their dead and demanding justice. The UK government comes in to lay the smackdown.
As bad as these attacks are they will pale into insignificance once you create a THEM vs US agenda across the entire continent. They've already seen NATO and Russian military power attack their homelands and at first, not wanting to take up the likes of ISIS on their word, a large number will now want to get revenge because they believe in that.
That will create your desired WW3 lead-up conflict scenario. There will be no pussy paradise, no free world and certainly no safe space should some sort of religious war comes to fruitition. This doesn't even include what would happen in Africa should Islam and Christianity fight to the death and they have committed genocide for less.
thanks, I was asking a legitimate question as I wasn't clear on what you meant.
As for the "are you prepared to make war" part. Well, a colossal world war, in the middle east that kills at least a billion people...Where have I heard that before?
ah right, The book of Revelations. My answer for "are you prepared" is yes, in fact the war has already begun. The crusades lasted what 200 years? The middle east has been a 'world' war zone since the US got involved for only what 20 years now?
The middle east could simmer and boil with bloodshed for another generation or more before the real mount of olives showdown takes place. The war has started, its now only a matter of "how long" before its finished. I'm sure the muslims feel the same way, as the Quran also culminates in some kind of apocalypse anchored in the middle east.
its actually unnerving for me, as when I was a teenager I scoffed that the apocalypitc war would be in the middle east. I was convinced it would be america/russia not a bunch of, at the time, disorganized camel riders fighting with military surplus against each other (Iran/Iraq). Now its real. America and Russia are right in there and the locals are having a deadly global outreach campaign. Two superpowers fighting it out on middle eastern turf, with China pulling a 3rd man in move once it looks like there is a clear loser and a weakened winner could easily all happen on a middle east stage.
So, I don't think its a question of "are you prepared" I think its "get prepared" as it has already begun, way back in 1990.
