However, he brings up an historical event of which I'm not aware, and I'd like some sources. Knowing Resurrexi a bit by now, I'm sure he's just been waiting for the opportunity. A wikipedia page would be helpful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resurrexi Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) By the way, I do agree that the sacking of Constantinople by the crusaders was horrific, especially since even the churches of the city were profaned. This thread is just to show that the Latins weren't the only guilty party. Edited June 20, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
