"...What I found most astonishing about this topic is the majority of our society seems to look away at the history of bloody Crusades that have been instituted by Christian and Catholic faith based governments and aristocracies."

Nice try, Rasheed, with the typical "they do it too" attitude. The mistakes of Christianity and the violence of Islam is about a 1 to 50 ratio throughout history. You obviously need to take an hour and do some simple objective research online.

The political difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christianity CORRECTS its wrongs through time. Fundamentalist Islam PERPETUATES not only its wrongs, but violence, the teaching of unjustified hatred, wahabbi schools, militancy, oppression, frequent punishments of death, intimidation, false accusation, lying, the list is endless really.

Those following fundamentalist Islam are following a great deception, period.
