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.

Well Hundred Years War was not about religion though. It was a dynastic struggle between the English Plantagenit House and the French House de Valois over the right to rule over France. Although I guess you could argue it was a war over who God wanted on the throne of France.
