Four myths about the crusades

Nathan Finn writes a short review of an essay debunking four myths about the crusades.

Here's the list of myths:


Myth # 1: The Crusades Represented an Unprovoked Attack by Western Christians on the Muslim World
Myth # 2: Western Christians Went on Crusade because Their Greed Led Them to Plunder Muslims in Order to Get Rich
Myth # 3: Crusaders Were a Cynical Lot Who Did Not Really Believer Their Own Religious Propaganda; Rather They Had Ulterior, Materialistic Motives
Myth # 4: The Crusades Taught Muslims to Hate and Attack Christians
