Interesting hypothosis

[TwistedFemur]

Last night I watched the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" its set about 100 years after the capture of jerusalem.
What struck me was how much the christians then sounded like the muslims today,namely the priest at the "pilgrim camp" telling the newcomers that "Killing an infiedel is not murder, it is the path to heaven"

That preist sounds just like an radical imam today calling for the killing of the "infidels". and the knights templar are akin to the muslim terrorist groups today,and we can draw parallels between the Jihad's of today to the Crusades.

thinking about this it got me to thinking: Is there a pattern or cycle to the way religions evolve?

A quick internet search reveals that Islam is about 1400 years old.....interesting, what was happening in the name of chrisendom when it was about 1400 years old? My calculations put it right around the time of the crusades.

Now im not trying to start a war just a thoughful debate.
