What are the similarities and differences between christian crusades and Islamic jihads?
Hardly. The crusades at their core were an effort to reopen Jerusalem as a Christian shrine. The war on terror is an attempt to reduce or eliminate all forms of international terrorism.
AnswerI wont disagree but one can say that the crusades might not be relevant but the Jihad is. Saladin did also start a Jihad as did Osama. So in its own way, it may still be partly a holy war as was the crusades. AnswerI strongly disagree with the above.There are at least three striking similarities:
No we have all the similarities: 1. Made-up causes 2. Profit for a few rich, white men usurping moral leadership. 3. Millionfold death of poor people - cannon fodder.
Now to the War of Terror:
Phoney cause: The alleged "Islamic terrorists" were really very wicked: By flying into the newly renovated north-side of the pentagon they only managed to destroy all the files which could have helped solve the puzzling dissapearance of 2,3 TRILLION $ in the defense budget, admitted to by Rumsfeld on 9/10/2001.
But Osamas most cunning deed was the destruction of WTC Building 7. Thereby he proved that terrorists don't even need airplanes any more to bring down buildings in nearly free fall speed. With Allahs help alone did it crumble, six hours after 1 & 2. Or was it after Silverstein had given the order to "pull it"? Wait! And why would Osama want to destroy a building in which were kept, among others things, all the files concerning the ENRON scandal. Hm, Allah wanders on mysterious ways....
So does Osama, btw. For ten years already, that old rascal has managed to run his evil underground network without ever being detected by the Super mighty spy satelite-abounding USA. It took 6 years to bring down Hitler. Hitler's military might did go beyond 19 box-cutters - slightly.
