The Crusades

On September 11th 2001, a big tragedy happened that effected many people all over the world. The world trade center was crashed by a hijacked airplane. There were two other hijacked airplanes. One attempted to go into the White House and the other plane tried to hit the Pentagon. After the incident happened on September 11th, George W. Bush delivered a speech in which he said “This crusade, this war on terror is going to take a while.” Bush’s use of the word crusade worried and outraged people because a crusade is a time in history when holy wars were going on, which had nothing to do with a war on terrorism.

The crusades were a time in history when the Catholics and the Muslims had “Holy Wars” over the Holy land of Palestine where it was believed that Jesus was buried in. Comparing that to a war on terrorism has no similarities, which prove that he has no clue of Palestine which is where it was believed that Jesus was buried.
