In Jerusalem there is a plaque about how the Crusaders massacred the inhabitants and burned the Jews to cinders in their synagogue. Hitler learned from us.

Cowardly Anonymous, you tell a damnable lie. The massacre of the Muslim and Jewish defenders of Jerusalem who had refused to surrender when given a chance to do, while truly deplorable, is not even in the same moral universe as Hitler's plot to exterminate every single Jew, Gypsy, and Catholic on earth. If Hitler had learned anything from Christians, he'd never had done any of the things he did.

Unless, of course, by "learned from us," you mean to say that you and your friends taught Hitler how to industrialise mass murder.
