If you need more on this subject would you please start a new thread.

An interesting conclusion, however one could apply both terms to those of many different nations who marched under many different banners, including those who marched on Jerusalem in the name of God as sanctioned by multiple representatives of Gods will on Earth, aka the Pope.
In terms of how they treated their fellow Indians, might I refer you to the American Civil War, and indeed World War One and Two for how civilized people treat their neighbours.
I shall refrain from starting a new thread because I don't want this thread to sprawl across the forums, there's enough thread in here for all of us, and it was a statement made by yourself after all.
