 | irishgit (137) 04/17/2008 | In fact, the Holy Crusaders murdered everyone in their path, Jew, Muslim and fellow Christian alike, to the extent where one chronicler reported that it was impossible to walk the streets of Jerusalem after its fall without stepping on a corpse.
At the height of the slaughter, the Crusaders were up to their knees in blood, butchering children and raping anything female. A detestable act of savagry.

Any imaginable crime against humanity has been invented and perfected by Europeans. This was just another chapter in our long and bloody history.
