Prof, what fucking denomination are you?? and don't just say christian, there's a million sects
man you belong in the 11th century, im sure you would have definitely answered the pope's call and joined the Crusade.
problem is the crusaders actually ended up respecting the Muslims, i highly doubt you would ever come to a point where you would try to understand the muslim faith let alone respect it.
As long as the Islamic nation stays completely in denial of their retarded policies, and Christianity does the same, this stupid squabble will never end. Imagine Hellspawn trying to convince me that Islamic women are happy being covered head to toe in a black shroud in the middle of the fucking desert. Imagine the nerve of such a person. Then imagine Zooruka backing the Pope on his abstinence only policies of the unmarried. Imagine the nerve of that. Who do these people think they are? You're imbeciles. All religious people are. They need to believe in magical stories from 2000 years ago or else their life won't have meaning. Yikes.
Every time muslims colonised lands where christians lived, they were good to them (Spain, Jersalem, Egypt...) but every time muslims lived under christians they have been killed (Spain, Jersalem, North Africa, Chechenya, Afghanistan, ...). So who have a problem with who ?
I'm fairly certain The Prof is Catholic like me if a half dozen years without going to church counts...

That's like saying the Nazis were good to the Jews in Poland.
"Here, pin this gold star on your chest so it's easy for the police to identify you for your protection. There's been strange going ons of late and we want to make sure our Jewish neighbors aren't going to get kidnapped by those communists. Have you heard about the Polgroms in Russia? Terrible stuff. I wouldn't worry about it though. We Germans are here to protect you."
I'm not going to say that the Arab nations were worse then the majority of Europe, but that's because they're Eastern Mediterranean and still preserved the Greco-Roman Hellenism which got wiped out in the west. It's not like the Byzantines were savages either. It has little to do with Islam.

wikipedia:
Under Islam, Christians and Jews were recognised as "peoples of the book", and were free to practice their religion, but faced a number of mandatory discriminations and penalties as dhimmis.[14] (here it says numbers but this is really hypocrites because they only paid this tax like the muslims citizens, and that grant to them protection as they are free to not fight in case of war). Conversion to Islam proceeded at a steadily increasing pace. The muladies (Muslims of ethnic Iberian origin) are believed to have comprised the majority of the population of Al-Andalus by the end of the 10th century.[15][16]
With the Arab conquest, Jews were allowed back into the city.[58] The Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab signed a treaty with Monophysite Christian Patriarch Sophronius, assuring him that Jerusalem's Christian holy places and population would be protected under Muslim rule.[59]
