Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself. Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular. However, get this. The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians.
It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class. If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam. (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.) It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this. Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination. They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted. They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Empire as well (which they eventually did), and that is the actual reason for the first Crusade. The first Crusade was a defensive war by Christians against Muslim invaders. A further goal was to free the formerly Christian (and of course before that, pagan) lands that Muslims had conquered.
Were the Crusades a terrible injustice to Muslims in general? Hardly. Muslims violently invaded the world around them, and the first time that a victim of their violence successfully fought back is the ONLY war remembered by most outspoken Muslims. Wow, that's convenient!
Many Muslims, as I have written about before, LOVE to be victims! And the most dangerous people are oppressors who think they are victims. Too bad everyone else is paying the price for the wild delusions embedded in the current Islamic zeitgeist, and particularly in the Islamic State.
The link below is to my blog post about the absolute glorification of the victim mentality among Muslims, for those who haven't read it.

And here is an article about the recent mass beheadings.
