Jacaylbaro Posted January 23, 2011 Question by geewiz: No one-sided apology for Crusades? It bothers me when I see President Bush and some Christian world leaders apologize to Muslims because of the past Christian Crusades against Islam. Few know that Muslims were the first to invade Europe. The Moors conducted slave raids off the coasts of southern Italy and Spain. An estimated 1.5 million white Christians were forcibly taken to North Africa by Moorish pirates. In Eastern Europe, the Tatar (Mongol) Muslims also conducted slave raids in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. Slavic white peasants were enslaved by Tatar/Mongol Muslim horsemen and taken to the slave markets of Istanbul where the Tatar/Mongols sold Slavic people to Turks. So many Slavic people were captured that even today, the term “slave” derived from Slavs. Forced race mixing occured as this result. The Moors went from black to white and the Tatars/Turks went from yellow to white. The goal of the raids was to abduct young white women and attack Christiandom. Where is the apology for that? Best answer: Answer by helper100 You are right in what you have stated. The Christian leaders are apologizing because they realize that Muslims were killed in the name of Christianity and from my understanding Christ never endorsed murder. Their apology was not to point whose fault it was or who started it but simply to apologize for what happened. Sad to say that the Muslims have never said that they are sorry for what they have done. From what I have seen and heard they deny they ever did anything wrong. But any one can prove me wrong or collaborate on this.
