[b:6848f6fb51]One Christian Crusader wrote on July 15 1099, from the bloody scene in Jerusalem[/b:6848f6fb51]
Quote:"With drawn swords our people ran through the city; horses waded in blood upto their knees, nay, up to the bride. It was just and wonderful judgement of God"[/quote:6848f6fb51][b:6848f6fb51]The slaughter was not confined to Jerusalem. The Crusaders, seeking out "heathens and infidels," killed Muslims, Jews, and even other christians throughout the Middle East, notably Antioch and Constantinople. In contrast, on the three seperate occasions when Muslims took control of Jerusalem, no blood was shed.[/b:6848f6fb51]
