Crusades V.S. September 11
On September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacked the Twin Towers in 
New York and the Pentagon in Washington. They succeeded and crashed in to the Twin Towers but did not crash the Pentagon. When President Bush used the word “Crusade” to explain the havoc and chaos that was going on, he was wrong. This statement caused many people to be worried and outraged. The Crusades were wars fought between the Muslims and the Catholics for a place called Palestine. This place was Jesus was buried and it was important to both religious groups. It was a bad idea to call it a crusade because it was a religious war and not an attack for material things. When Bush said that it was a reminder of what had happened back in the biblical days. They used to say that when there was a crusade you had to fight. If you did not fight you would be condemned but if you had fought in the Crusades you would be honored in heaven. So when the Muslims heard that there was a crusade it meant that they had to go fight again. In the original Crusade it was the Catholics V.S. the Muslims and Bush compared that to what has happened that day. This was very a wrong thing to say Bush should have studied more on his Global History.
