3. The book they use to back up their points.
Each seem to take what they want from their own holy books to back up who they are going to kill and why.

4. What did Islam do to incite the Christians during the Crusader
era? And what policy did the U.S. make that upset the Muslims. Is it because that Westerners camped on Holy soil that is upsetting? Or is it the fact that the U.S. armed Israel to the max with weapons the jet age and with the nuclear bomb?

The crusades are still a vivid memory for Muslims in the Middle East. When President George W. Bush invoked the idea of a crusade following the 11 September 2001 attacks, this was the probably absolute worst comment he could have made, because it brought to mind for Muslims the wholesale slaughter that had occurred during the Crusades of the Middle Ages, and sounded to Middle Eastern ears as if he desired to wage war against all Muslims, not just those individuals involved in terrorist activities. To Muslims, a crusade is a war against the religion of Islam, not a righteous fight against evil. The other important lesson is that Christian rule was historically tragic for the Jews in Jerusalem, while the relationship between Jews and Muslim was generally good up until the 20th century.
