mLine 78:
Line 78: − − I hope this is the talk page (I'm not the greatest with computers) Whitewashing is a strong word and I would advise against using it. This is because the use of such a word would imply attributing negative cultural affects of the First Crusade to modern times in a somewhat anachronistic manner. This is to say that anything that was a direct consequence of this historical event is likely to be so distorted in our modern times as to be discernible from the effects of other events. For example, should one say that the Mongol empire's conquest of much of Asia and parts of Europe had direct and negative consequences to the well-being of their subject territories which have pervaded to this day? One could cite the poverty of places such as central Asia (Kazakhstan to name one) as being proof of this theories validity. However, would the more recent dominance of central Asia by the former Soviet Union not have more to do with that area's poverty than the Mongol empire? The point is one can not be to hasty to decide who is morally culpable for a historical event, even despite a profuse amount of research into the subject matter. Thus, I propose that conservapedia, despite its usual biases, has done a fair job at representing the First Crusade by not passing a kind of moral judgment that is being called for in this discussion board.
