00:00:00.000 I have a message to all the white people out there who are watching my videos, 0.96
00:00:04.200 specifically those who can trace their lineage back to the Crusades. 0.88
00:00:08.400 First of all, I can't even believe that this needs to be said,
00:00:12.400 but given some of the comments I'm seeing under my videos and posts on social media,
00:00:17.400 I have now realized how much you have been lied to about your own history.
00:00:24.400 Stop apologizing for the Crusades.
00:00:28.680 Yeah, I said that.
00:00:30.000 stop apologizing for the Crusades. I mean, what exactly did you think happened that led to the
00:00:36.400 Crusades? Do you just think that, I don't know, everyone was living peacefully and then all of a
00:00:41.720 sudden one day random white Christian people woke up and decided to go murder Muslims? Is that 0.99
00:00:48.520 what you think happened? The Crusades were a response to Arab Muslim colonizers trying to
00:00:56.320 invade europe the crusades were literally a response to jihad do you forget what happened 0.56
00:01:03.760 to spain do you not recall how spain was conquered by the arab muslim invaders for 700 years
00:01:11.200 before the spaniards and the christians were able to fight back and reclaim spain
00:01:17.920 the only reason that you're not speaking arabic and your women aren't wearing burqas
00:01:22.240 is literally because of the crusades how do you think the arab muslim invaders conquered persia 0.66
00:01:28.640 conquered the persian empire and forced everyone to convert to islam do you think they came with 0.82
00:01:35.360 pamphlets and brochures what do you think they just went around knocking peacefully on doors 0.96
00:01:41.600 they came with violence they came with bloodshed they came with beheadings they came with rape 0.99
00:01:47.960 They murdered everyone and anyone who didn't convert to Islam. 0.99
00:01:52.760 They burned libraries. 0.83
00:01:54.960 They destroyed temples.
00:01:57.480 They even forced us to speak Arabic for 200 years until we were able to secretly revive our language, Persian.
00:02:05.320 Did you know that we Iranians have been fighting back against the Arab Muslim colonizers for the last 1400 years?
00:02:12.960 and we are still trying to decolonize 0.97
00:02:16.440 from that invader colonial mindset and ideology.
00:02:21.840 Do you see this man?
00:02:24.020 That's not a crusader.
00:02:25.580 He's an Iranian. 0.78
00:02:27.000 This is Babak Khoramdin.
00:02:29.340 He's an Iranian revolutionary leader
00:02:31.220 from the early 800s.
00:02:33.380 He was fighting the Arab Muslim colonizers
00:02:36.360 who had invaded Persia 150 years ago
00:02:39.060 and he was trying to free Persia
00:02:41.740 from the jihadis. Unfortunately, at the age of 40, he was captured by the Arabs and he was pretty
00:02:49.740 much torn apart limb from limb. And yet, you know what we Iranians do? We celebrate him.
00:02:56.480 Babak Khwaramdin is one of the most important Iranian figures in our history. Why? Because he
00:03:06.960 was fighting the Arab Muslim invaders who had invaded Persia 150 years ago. 1.00
00:03:16.140 We don't apologize. We don't apologize. We don't justify. We don't make excuses. In fact,
00:03:24.500 we're still fighting. We are still fighting to overthrow the Arab Muslim invaders and to reclaim 1.00
00:03:33.480 our country from the Islamic dictatorship. So we have been fighting for 1400 years. 1.00
00:03:45.060 Unfortunately, unlike you white people, we still have not been successful. 0.99
00:03:51.380 If you need more convincing that the Crusades were a good thing and that the Crusades actually 0.99
00:03:58.360 saved Europe from the Arab Muslim invaders, here is a five-minute video 0.95
00:04:04.420 from Dr. Bill Warner. Pay attention, because this is kind of important.
00:04:18.020 Whenever you're dealing with an apologist for Islam, or even a Muslim, and you bring 0.59
00:04:22.520 up jihad, almost immediately they kick back to you. Well, what about those 0.88
00:04:26.480 terrible crusades. Why, they're the moral justification for jihad. I mean, we're just
00:04:31.400 as bad as they are, so let's not talk about jihad, okay? Let's talk about the crusades.
00:04:37.400 Well, what we'd like to talk about here are facts. And it turns out I sat down and put
00:04:43.480 together some work and I created a database of some 548 battles that Islam fought jihad
00:04:50.560 battles against classical civilization. And this isn't even all the battles. It really
00:04:54.900 doesn't say much about Africa and India, Afghanistan and all that. It's primarily the battles against 0.95
00:05:01.320 the classical civilization of Rome and Greece. So, 548 battles is a lot, and it's too much to
00:05:09.200 even comprehend. So I created something which I call a dynamic battle map, in which you have a
00:05:14.600 display of the Mediterranean, and a white dot means that this 20-year period, that's a new
00:05:20.200 battle. So every time the screen changes, it's 20-year period. They then, colors white turn to
00:05:27.340 red, so you can see a history. This may seem a little confusing, but I think when you see it,
00:05:31.480 you'll know exactly what I mean. And here it starts. Islam burst out of the Arabian Peninsula
00:05:38.340 and immediately starts attacking the Middle East. And notice that it doesn't take long until they're 1.00
00:05:43.360 crossing the Middle East. So do you see here, do you see how within, you know, the span of just a
00:05:48.940 couple of decades, Iran, Iran became conquered, right? That's jihad. And like I said, they didn't 0.83
00:06:01.100 come with flowers and pamphlets. They came with violence, death, destruction, rape, and forced
00:06:08.440 conversions. Mediterranean and attacking southern France and Spain. Notice something here. Most 0.95
00:06:16.780 Most people think of Islam, they think of Arabs, they think of Arabs, they think of 0.91
00:06:21.280 desert, and yet here we see that Islam is projecting power throughout the Mediterranean. 0.66
00:06:28.300 Also pay attention. 0.98
00:06:29.300 Do you see Spain? 1.00
00:06:30.300 At this point, Spain has been conquered by the Arab Muslim invaders. 1.00
00:06:35.720 And again, every single red dot here, every single red dot is an instance of jihad. 0.98
00:06:45.320 is a battle that was initiated by the Arab Muslim invaders. Okay, so pay attention to these dots, 0.87
00:06:53.400 because we're then going to compare these dots of jihad versus the dots of the crusades.
00:07:03.800 Notice how the little islands of the Mediterranean are getting hammered. 0.98
00:07:06.920 The navy of Islam would attack coastal towns, kill, rob, rape, and then take slaves. 0.99
00:07:16.920 So this whole battle map as it unfolds, you're seeing slaves being taken. 0.99
00:07:21.920 Over a million slaves were taken out of Europe into the Islamic world. 1.00
00:07:27.920 That's something you don't think about much, but it's absolutely true. 1.00
00:07:30.920 There were over 200 battles fought in Spain alone. 1.00
00:07:36.920 And we also see, however, on the East Coast, in Turkey, that Islam is trying to break into 0.99
00:07:45.480 Europe. 0.96
00:07:46.480 Now, what's going to happen is, in Spain, this ongoing fight that lasted for 400 years, 1.00
00:07:54.640 the Christians are going to push back the Muslims. 0.99
00:07:58.080 But now then, what has happened over in the East is that Constantinople has fallen, and 0.99
00:08:03.220 now then, Eastern Europe is getting hammered.
00:08:05.940 jihad now comes to Eastern Europe. It's pushed out now of Spain. Northern Africa is now completely
00:08:13.620 Islamic. The Middle East is completely Islamic. This is all jihad. Relentless jihad. And why 0.99
00:08:21.040 is it so relentless? Well, Muhammad was relentless in his jihad. And these people are good students 0.93
00:08:27.320 of Islam and so it's against the Kafir, on and on. It was traditional that when the Sultan 1.00
00:08:33.660 came to power, the brand new sultan, he would immediately try to launch new wars because 0.56
00:08:39.700 he was going to be noted in his Islamic history as to how well he fought against the Kafir. 0.56
00:08:48.760 So that's what the jihad looked like over that time period, 548 battles.
00:08:53.860 But remember, when you bring up jihad, people want to bring up the crusades.
00:08:58.060 So I also prepared a dynamic battle map of all the offensive raids of the crusaders.
00:09:03.540 watch it and make a comparison and so it begins the crusades enter into Turkey
00:09:08.220 and the Middle East battles go on but aren't there far fewer than you thought
00:09:12.780 there might be and here we go the last battles that's it do you see these dots
00:09:20.040 here that is every single crusade you can't even like you can't even compare
00:09:31.740 Like, there's literally no comparison between Islamic Jihad and the Crusades.
00:09:40.500 ...fought, and that is the end of the Crusades.
00:09:45.720 So now then we can talk about some facts.
00:09:48.480 Yes, there were Crusades, but notice they ended centuries ago, and Jihad is being practiced today.
00:09:55.260 Jihad has been with us for 1,400 years. 0.57
00:09:58.200 There is no comparison between Jihad and the Crusades.
00:10:01.460 Certainly not a moral comparison.
00:10:04.200 And when you're looking at the Crusades, remember,
00:10:06.460 in one sense, all of the Crusades were defensive wars.
00:10:09.600 Why?
00:10:10.500 Well, as we saw in the first jihad map, 0.99
00:10:12.240 it was Islam that came out of Arabia and conquered the Middle East, 0.96
00:10:16.680 a Christian Middle East. 0.82
00:10:18.400 And so the Crusaders were trying to free their Christian brothers and sisters from jihad.
00:10:23.460 So there's no moral comparison at all.
00:10:25.940 The motivation of the Crusaders was to free Christians. 1.00
00:10:28.680 The purpose of jihad is to enslave the kafir. 1.00
00:10:37.260 Was that clear enough for you guys? 1.00
00:10:39.960 So what's the lesson that we have learned today?
00:10:44.220 Stop apologizing for the crusades.
00:10:48.600 The crusades were justified.
00:10:51.360 The crusades were defensive.
00:10:53.560 Stop letting people who hate you and who want to take over your countries and your civilizations, stop allowing them to rewrite history and stop allowing them to paint you as the aggressors in order to guilt trip you into appeasing their intolerance of your countries.
00:11:23.560 and your traditions and your values.
00:11:26.680 Because again, as an Iranian, I'm telling you right now,
00:11:31.000 I wish, I wish that Iran had been able to have 0.97
00:11:35.200 something similar to what the Crusades were 0.66
00:11:38.380 because then maybe my country 0.85
00:11:40.960 wouldn't be under an Islamic occupation 0.97
00:11:43.640 and it wouldn't be a seventh century Islamic hellhole 0.98
00:11:46.420 governed by Sharia law. 0.97
00:11:48.720 And now you know.
