Please read the Historical records of the invasion of europe by islam...

All of Spain was conquered by them. they were stopped in France and where pushed back. the crusader armies where the next reaction to that. where Europeans came to them fighting and doing not more or less then what was done to us before. And yes, crusaders were also pushed back. But the end result was some kind of stalemate. Do not say you were victims by crusaders while forgetting the actions done that created them.

Didn't Vlad Dracul use terrible tactics in Romania( I think) in an attempt to defend it's land against the Turkish armies (muslims)?

And these where not traders but men armed to the teeth.

I saw no peaceful matter concerning this in the pages of european history.
