It's historically inaccurate to see the Crusades as purely Christianity vs. Islam, although that was the main theme.

Crusaders also massacred Jews up and down the Rhine Valley and sacked Byzantium in the early 1200s. It's a detail that's part of the bigger picture. I think Santorum would benefit from examining all angles of the crusades, not just "they were a good thing with good intentions."

Don't forget the pagan Lithuanians and the Cathars.

Anyway, Deus Lo Vult, Sen. Santorum.
