The Crusades Were Wrong To Force Religion Upon The Muslims
I as a lutheran feel that it was wrong for the christians to threaten the lives of the Muslims in order to get them to convert. God gave us free will, therefore we cannot try to force them

Amen. That's all I have to say.

Those aren't the only people christians have forced their religion on. The Koreans were taken advantage of by christians when the Japanese occupied Korea: Missionaries used the Korean's need for assistance against the Japanese as a way to spread religion. Today, in Korea, christianity is predominant as buddhist temples are regularly vandalized and burned by christians as well as harassment of non-christians by teachers and employers.

As well, after the tsunami in 2005, hardcore godbots went to countries around the Indian Ocean and used the deaths of hundreds of thousands as a way to spread their filth...I mean, faith. There were many instances where the victims were subjected to more injury: "Convert to christianity and we'll give you food and water." Those who didn't were left to starve to death.

Forcing your beliefs upon others is wrong.

I agree both religions are basically the same. 'The Kingdom of Heaven' is a good film, which portrays this. However, Jerusalem is the centre of all religion.

Islam is a religion, they were forcing alternate religion upon them, not religion entirely

Oh please don't even one of you remember the Muslim conquests? All these superstitious backward thinking religions will fight until there is no one left here. They are ignorant people with small minds. I find it more appalling that Christians have a burning desire to infiltrate indigenous tribes and destroy a whole culture in the name of some fairy tale character. What gives anyone the right to force their beliefs on another group? Nothing. You have no right to disrupt perfectly happy people and make them trade their peacefully lives for ones of self loathing and misery.

For he present time, yes it was wrong, and now in this day and age it would be absolutly appaling.

But back then things were different, as were moral right and wrongs, the muslims would have done exactly the same things given half a chance.

Look at science now, and how America didn't believe in global warming but was giving off the largst Co2 footprint. The world panicked and if America did not then accept global warming, it may have ended in us (the rest of the world) forcing them to.

It was like that back then only instead of science, it was religion.

I'm just playing the devil's advocate: No.
