| Topic | Holy Cross to change 'Crusaders' school mascot due to fear of offending Muslims |
| TroutPaste 12/09/17 5:14:24 PM #59: | I think the point is that they were originally repelling a single Islamic campaign, in Turkey or wherever that was... and Islamic people went around North Africa, even into Spain... but the overall motive by either side, Christian or Islamic, was pretty fucking crummy by modern standards. They did it for power and ulterior motives, not some patriotic, zealous campaign. Although whether it's more offensive than a name like "warrior" or "viking" is debatable. People have thin skin.
