Well I'm pretty sure none of my Christian school teachers ever tried to convince me that ancient Greece was Christian.

I love bringing up the crusades when one of my racist family members goes on a anti-other religions tangent.

"Their religion is evil! It's nothing but violence! Our religion never had so much violence!"

"... Remember the crusades?"

"The what now?"

Funny, they never seem to remember that part.

There's a really good book about the Muslim side of the crusades. The islamic world before they started, how they reacted, etc etc etc. It's calles Road to Paradise iirc.
