Whether he was justified is a different question.
However, the reason he felt justified was that Europe had witnessed 400 years of Islamic conquests. Muslim armies had invaded all the traditionally Christian areas of the Middle East and North Africa (as well as the Hindu/Buddhist areas further East); they had imposed their way of life; and they seemed to have a plan to take over the whole world.
The situation became worse when the Turks defeated the Arabs (an intra-Muslim conflict) and were oppressive rulers to their Christian subjects in Palestine. The ordinary people there begged their friends in Europe to help them.
The European leaders did not want Islam to take over Europe too (the Muslims had already conquered Spain, and they tried at regular intervals for Byzantium). There was no one secular leader who was powerful enough to organise a Europe-wide resistance, so the Pope coordinated the relief army.
Muslim in Africa were big in slavery. Muslims in Africa would trade females to slavery.
You are referring to two different groups of people. Some Muslims hate Christians. They kill them all over the world and then celebrate it. Other Muslims would never dream of killing anyone. Those are the Muslims who say they do not hate Christians - because they don't.
Laws are laws and we dont have to justify them.
There is nothing you can say that would justify lying to your mother.
Brutus argues against killing Marc Antony because he believes that doing so would be unnecessary and could be seen as a brutal act. He feels that Antony poses no threat as long as Caesar is dead, and that killing him would make them appear more like tyrants than liberators. Brutus emphasizes the need to maintain honor and justify their actions, suggesting that killing Antony could undermine their cause. Ultimately, he thinks sparing Antony would demonstrate their noble intentions.
I can give you several sentences.He tried to think of an excuse to justify his bad behavior.Can you justify that action?"Justify me; open my mind to the things I can be." (from the Nate James song "Justify Me")suzan had to justify the amount of time she would give me for the test
Canada had and still has a large propaganda campaign designed to discredit Riel and justify their killing of him. In the 1800's and early 1900's homosexuals and their followers would be given very little support so it would be a great rumor to spread.
well i have a question regarding the Darwinists i would like to now how they justify expansionism? thank you
The Holy Land was under the control of the Muslims and he wanted to return it to the Christians, so the Pope called for a crusade.
Muslims did a number of things to oppose Saddam Hussein when he was in power as did the other religions in Iraq. As for the second part of your question, what would you do if foreigners invaded your country, destroyed your societal infrastructure, tortured and killed innocent civilians, opened your society up to sectarian violence and then said how wonderful they were?
It would save lives .
Killing others, I would do anything to live longer.
