On Wednesday we will be building upon our discussions of church & state, Islam, accuracy-honesty-understanding, & Christian Jihad and will be discussing the Crusades and the ethics of war.

I contemplated using the following video to start the discussion, but some of the images are very graphic and would be too much for some of you. I post it here because I think it adds a dimension to our discussion which we have not yet engaged, however, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER NOT WATCHING IT if the sight of graphic violence would negatively affect you. Personally, watching this video made me physically ill for several hours.
