Everything I need to know about Christianity I learned from the crusades.
“Well, that’s rude,” many Christians would say. But isn’t that what the conservative Christians do regarding Islam? It inspired me to make this image: Seen this? “Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11” Well, then, I could just as easily say: Everything I need to know about Christianity I learned from the crusades. Islam has a lot of problem in it, as do all religions. Islam isn’t that much different, it’s only newer and there’s...
