Smugumin @snugunim Replying to @jokanhiyou Hello friend. The crusades were a retaliatory movement to reconquer invaded territory, much like how my country was formed from the fighting to free lands invaded by muslims. Do not apologize to people who are perpetually offended at nothing. They will never be satisfied.
