    Jeffrey Goldberg Retweeted Disciple of Christ

    Twitter is a place where you can meet people who defend the Inquisition: https://twitter.com/BornAgain8344/status/563542337775616000 …

    Jeffrey Goldberg added,

    Disciple of Christ @BornAgain8344
    @JeffreyGoldberg Crusades were reaction to Muslim conquest of Holy Lands. Inquisition was attempt by church to save lives from secular lords

    @JeffreyGoldberg The single thing that most freaks me out about modern conservatives is hearing them discuss the Crusades and Inquisition.

    @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg The Crusades and the Inquisition are very different phenomena.

    @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg But Christianity spent almost entire period, 700-1700, under siege by Islamic empires.

    @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg Crusades were short, failed era of counterattack. In which Christians, yes, committed terrible crimes.

        @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg Anyway -- this is not a discussion suited to Twitter. And it's late. Good night to you both.

        @DouthatNYT @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg Many argue that Crusades were the beginning of Europe's opening to the world!

        @huzzahmpls @DouthatNYT @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg Crusades really were like modern-day jihads. Surprising but ineffectual.

      @DouthatNYT @jonathanchait @JeffreyGoldberg Any effort to understand the crusades as a 'counterattack' seems to woefully misunderstand them
