To Hell With Your Crusade

Posted by Caleb Coy on

In 1096 the first Christian crusade was a mission to retake Jerusalem from the Muslims.


The first thing the crusaders did before leaving home was murder 2,000-5,000 Jews.


After 40 years of that forever war, the crusaders reached Jerusalem. They liberated the city by killing Muslims. And Jews. Literally a city founded by Jews, and the Christians killed them there to erect a “Christian” city. Because the Pope told them to.
And if 40 years sounds like a forever war, guess what. There were three more crusades over the course of 200 years. Many Jews, Christians, and Muslims died, and during none of that time did Jesus come back.

850 years after the first crusade, Germany would exterminate even more Jews, after boldly claiming that they were the third iteration of the great empire that started the crusades. And they couldn’t have done it without recruiting masses of Christians invested in their country’s GDP. And they executed Christians who spoke against them.

Proponents of any “Holy War” from Western Christians against the Middle-East today who believe that violence must be done in order for Jesus to come back—damn your religion to hell. It is not that of Christ. You don’t care about Jews, and you don’t get to pretend that you care about Jews. You welcome the slaughter of anyone, even your own kind, in order to force Christ to come back. People like you are the anti-Christ.

Curse your rhetoric and your trash calls for patriotism and faith, you who pretend to care about Israel, but provoke wars that will slaughter Israelis, as well as Gazans, Iranians, and others. People in far lands are not tools for your dreams of cheaper gas, climbing portfolios, and fast-returning you-shaped saviors.

Oh, and those “Christian” crusaders. Yeah, they also killed fellow Christians. In Europe. Constantly. For political reasons. They attacked Constantinople for political reasons. They no interest in Gospel. Faith was just a tool to accomplish violence for kings.

The meek shall inherit the earth. It’s best go move out of their way while you still have a chance to become them.

Don’t invade Syria

Says Empire: “Doing something to Syria would be a big blow to Iran.”  Except that Iran hasn’t threatened us.  We are more of a threat to them.

Obama wants to invade Syria.  The reasoning: it will weakin Iraq.  Because killing people in one country to make another country weak when it’s already too weak to even think of attacking us is logical in any playing field.  Ron Paul could talk him out of it, if he would just listen.

What ‘s happening in Syria is none of our business.  What happened in Libya is none of our business.  In fact, what happened in Iraq was none of our business.

I echo the video: this whole invade everybody who we think might get a nuke in the future or something is bad politics, bad policy, bad economy.  Oh, and it’s morally corrupt.

You want to change things for the better in a country?  Send in doctors.  Send in teachers.  Send in carries of gospel.

Missionaries, not missiles.

The prophets of Israel called for quietism abroad.  That means you don’t go invade other places.  Oh, and America’s founders also didn’t want to go “monster hunting” abroad, for those of you who claim to follow Jesus but care more about America.  So, no matter how you cut it, this invasion would be wrong.

over the last 50-80 years America’s history of preemptive war, covert destabilization, foreign occupation, nation building, torture and assassination have accumulated a vast hatred of American presence in the Middle-East and other places in the world.  It’s time for this to end.

Swords into ploughshares.  Ron Paul is the only politician I know who seriously quotes it in his use of policy rhetoric.  Start listening to him.
