14 out of 16 crusades
Sorry, there were only 8 crusades.

ended up in Europeans loss with terrible humiliation and some of them took place in Europe(means they never even reached the desert) But reality is different than what you have been told.It was Turks that pushed these 14 uncivilised and barbarous conqests without facing any difficulty.Your ancestors, dear Europeans knew why Turks were known as 'devils on the battlefield' and they had every right to fear Turks.It was in those days the saying 'Strong as a Turk' emerged.But unfortunately it appears you have forgotten about all of this since you haven't dared any crusades after 14 humiliations.If you had you would have known why Turks are still accepted by brainy people as the 'unstoppable and greatest warriors' ever.Because we fight not by bullets or cannons but with our heart which is something you shall never understand and therefore never know the truth.I hope you'll get a deeper knowledge about facts before you speak like blind men.
I suggest you gain a deeper knowledge of the facts yourself before you start accusing others.

By the way it was the fear of death why Europeans wore tank-like armor,while at the time Turks never even bothered since they didn't have to fear a blow as they knew it would come from weak arms of weak men.Therefore it was Europeans who stood still for a blow hoping their thick armor would protect them as it was their last chance.(unfortunately most of the time it didn't haha)
Not really. See, the Turks also wore armour. While they might be fearless, that won't stop an arrow from impaling you, an axe from chopping you up or a sword cutting you up. People who didn't wear armour (to any degree) were either poor, skirmishers or foolish in my oppinion.
