ok, now your comparing a war fought in the 1960's-70s, not including the French, to warfare 900-500 years previously?
mmmm I think this says anything anyone needs to know about your credibility.
Try RESEARCH. Look at the People's Crusade, the first 'recognized' crusade into muslim territory. Led, kind of by no one, but theoretically Rainald & Peter the Hermit. Slaughtered. Slaughtered. Slaughtered. Oh, and converted to Islam to avoid SLAUGHTER.
I already mentioned the Field of Blood I believe, better trained, better equipped? Can you give me any sort of statistic or evidence? What about the fact that a drunkard was able to marshal the forces of Syria together to destroy half the norman contigent of crusaders? According to Kemal Al-Din, only 20 franks escaped, and only 20 muslems dead.
Balak, that guy i mentioned earlier? He was known as "the Raging Dragon", and filled many pages of Fulcher's writings. He managed to reconquer almost all of the crusading states. He died due to an arrow wound during a siege.
If you recognized known of the names above.. let me know and I'll simply stop arguing because it'll be pointless.
