Muslims shot in New Zealand mosques

The "Children’s Crusade" was a popular religious movement in Europe during the summer of 1212 in which thousands of young people took vows and set out to recover Jerusalem from the Muslims. Lasting only from May to September, the Children’s Crusade lacked official sanction and none of the participants reached the Holy Land.
Despite its popular designation, the Children’s Crusade was never a Crusade. Crusades could come into existence only with papal approval, and Pope Innocent III (1198–1216) never summoned it.
These self-proclaimed, unarmed Crusaders voiced their intention to recover the True Cross (a purported relic of the cross on which Jesus was crucified) but said nothing about how they hoped to achieve their goals. Nevertheless, the pueri“boys”) —the term used by 13th-century writers to describe participants in the movement—wore the insignia of the cross (as did all Crusaders) and took the Crusader’s vow, which was binding on those who were at least 14 years old. Nevertheless, the religious fervor it excited helped to initiate the Fifth Crusade (1218).
The German historian Peter Raedts argued that “pueri” in the chronicles and other documents does not signify an age group but instead describes a social class of impoverished landless peasants and day laborers of indeterminate age. In fact, many of the pueri and puelle would indeed have belonged to such a social class.

Yep. Some people here don't think about the "eye for an eye" mentality of killing.
Bangui, Central African Republic — Hundreds of Muslims are trapped on the grounds of a Roman Catholic cathedral in the southern city of Bangassou, unable to leave the compound for fear of being attacked by a Christian militia. Muslims have been attacked and murdered in the area around Bangassou, a small market city on the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as a nearly five-year-old civil war between the Christian majority and Muslims has divided the southeastern part of the country.
In July, a self-styled Church Defense Group for Christians called on all Christians in the country to carry out revenge attacks on Muslims for killing Christians...
"We will avenge the killings of the many church leaders and men of God, killed in the exercise of their functions. Muslims or Christians, we shall see," Nzapakéyé said in his communique to followers.
Yet in Bangassou, St. Peter Claver Cathedral has opened its doors to some 2,000 Muslims. And three hours east, hundreds of students and residents have taken refuge in a local parish in Zemio. In both places, Muslims and their protectors live in constant fear of attack amid threats from Christian militia."
"There are armed men here waiting for Muslims to emerge out of the camp so that they can kill them," said Father Yovane Cox of Bangassou Diocese, who lives at the compound. "We need to help them as soon as possible to avoid confrontation and bloodbath."

The second movement was led by a twelve-year-old[SUP][3][/SUP] French shepherd boy named Stephen of Cloyes, who said in June that he bore a letter for the king of France from Jesus. Large gangs of youth around his age were drawn to him, most of whom claimed to possess special gifts of God and thought themselves miracle workers. Attracting a following of over 30,000 adults and children, he went to Saint-Denis, where he was reported to cause miracles. On the orders of Philip II, advised by the University of Paris, the people were implored to return home. Philip himself did not appear impressed, especially since his unexpected visitors were led by a mere child, and refused to take them seriously. Stephen, however, was not dissuaded, and began preaching at a nearby abbey. From Saint-Denis, Stephen traveled around France, spreading his messages as he went, promising to lead charges of Christ to Jerusalem. Although the Church was skeptical, many adults were impressed by his teaching.[SUP][3][/SUP] A few of those who initially joined him possessed his activeness; it is estimated that there were less than half the initial 30,000 remaining, a figure that was shrinking rapidly, rather than growing as perhaps anticipated.
At the end of June 1212, Stephen led his largely juvenile Crusaders from Vendôme to Marseilles. They survived by begging for food, while the vast majority seem to have been disheartened by the hardship of this journey and returned to their families.[SUP][3]

As previously proven, none of the participants reached the Holy Land. Therefore, this question:
Is rated a 'gross distortion.'
<sigh> It's not a gross distortion to say they set off for the Holy Land, some died on the journey and some were sold into slavery.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that these Crusades were barbaric, and no different from what Muslims did. And to think that the heads of the Catholic Church actually initiated them...
<Deeper sigh>
If that had been what you said, it wouldn't be.
Since it isn't, it was. This is what you said:
BTW, who enslaved some of them? I'll understand if you don't want to tell me.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that the jihad is barbaric and unlike what the Christians did, is still going on today.
You'll never see it, because it will never happen the way you wish. We will always remain, so you may as well kill yourself now.

Well, the Islamic invasions concerned all of mankind, as they do now. Obviously, sending children to confront them was bad military policy. Suicide bombs hadn't been invented yet.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump called Monday for barringall Muslims from entering the United States."Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," a campaign press release said.
And don't tell me this doesn't count because he wasn't yet elected.
