I've never heard the Crusades referred to as jihad, but certainly the terminology is appropriate. We hold the church to a higher standard, but sadly it has fallen as hard as any.

I also laughed when I read your post, but I inserted a comma: "The Crusades were a... barbarity that killed thousands, Cheers."
