Di catatan sejarah yang sempat saya baca semuanya menyebut yang terjadi sebelum Perang Salib adalah konflik antara Byzantium vs Seljuk. Gak ada yang menyebut Kristen vs Islam (catatanmu di bawah sana juga menyebut gitu, Byzantium vs Seljuk). Baru setelah Byzantium keteter & minta tulung gereja langsung direspon Paus Urbanus (yang kebetulan pengin ekspansi) dengan perang agama - bukan cuma Kristen vs Islam. Jadi, bagaimana Anda begitu yakin "ada yang tanya mengapa orang Islam bunuh orang Kristen?"? Atau si penanya itu sebetulnya Anda sendiri?
Yakin juga angkanya sebulet itu, genap 3000, gak pake 'sekitar' atau '3000an' - dan seluruhnya orang Kristen? (catatanmu di bawah sana menyebut "including many Christians").. Lalu, bagaimana dengan sebelum "perang salib" yang ini: silakan ketik "3000 victims" di gugel.. --- "Stanley Sethiadi" <ssethiadi@...> wrote: > Sebelum perang salib terjadi, 3000 musafir (pilgrim) Kristen > dibunuh.
