Quote:What of the Rohingya?
Admittedly they are Muslim, but who are their persecutors? Hmmmm?
Well, we could also discuss the Buddhist Sinhallese and their persecution of the Tamils in Sri Lanka, now couldn't we?
However, neither really qualifies as a "Crusade", in that neither is centrally led by a Buddhist Pope or Buddhist Royality, now is it?
Quote:Then again, when you spell 'Crusade' with a capital letter, one supposes you are referring to the ancient Christians - perhaps in the case mentioned it should be 'crusade'.
As things stand at the moment, I'd hesitate to call the Daesh movement a 'Crusade'. It might upset their 'sensibilities'.
Oh, I think they are a bit beyond worrying about what you or I or anybody else says about them. We are, afterall, untermensch to their obermensch, now aren't we, Lionel?
