Crusade 2.0

John Feffer

Crusade 2.0

In his official response to the attacks of September 11, George W. Bush invoked the Crusades, tapping into a centuries-long history of fear and aggression.

Virulent opposition to the planned construction of an Islamic center near the 9/11 attack site in New...
