Is it true that rape was used as a weapon against conquered Muslim women by the crusaders?
>>669073
>used as a weapon
What does that even mean?
>>669073
Given that it was a war, and that's what conquering armies tend to do then yes it's most likely true.
>>669073
Probably not since Knights followed the Chivalric code.
>>669086
>implying knights followed the chivalric code
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Whats with the Muslim/Crusaders Threads going on on /his/ lately?
Not that I mind, it's fairly interesting. It just smells like the work of /pol/
>>669073
No, it's unlikely that they used rape as a weapon. They probably raped women though.
>>669073
No otherwise blue eyes would be a lot more common in the middle east
>>669073
Why would you rape people you see as dirty and beneath you?
>>669073
it wasn't a weapon, they did it for their amusement
>>669120
Because you find them hot. Either that or for the UNLIMITED POOWAAAH!
Maybe to shame them and try to get rid of their modesty but more than anything I think it would be rape just for pleasure like all conquering armies ever have done
>>669086
The vast majority of crusaders were not knights.
>>669086
>Year of our Lord 2016
>people still believe this
>>669120
Why would you rape people who isn't beneath you?
>>669219
But amongst equals there's no need to exercise power. Only if you believe there's no such equality will you feel the sense to exercise and show this power.
>>669073
>Rape in war
They were dumb enough to do that.
Not by knights. The Templars only ate three meals a week as a devotion to Christ, it seems unlikely they would be raping women.
>>669233
>But amongst equals there's no need to exercise power
the other way around
>>669073
A large leading part of the Crusade was inspired by racism and rpae was used in an adtempt to destroy the darker races
>>669399
Not every Knight was a Templar.
>>669709
I'm pretty sure the Crusades weren't racially motivated.
At all.
Sure,
If you are a liberal, cuckold, tumblrfag, piece of shit, faggot.
>>669073
Friendly reminder its not rape when they want it
>>669109
/pol/tards sheepishly stepping into a realm where their world view might be challenged and screaming REEEEing won't help.
I was a crusader and I indeed dicked plenty of girls but now I'm in hell so it wasn't really worth it despite the memes it's cold as fuck in here.
>>669199
Even during the third crusade?
>>669073
Rape has been used as a weapon, demoralizing factor, subjuctation tool since the dawn of men. Heck even chimps rape, once they conquer the land of a neighbouring "tribe"
>>669709
>racism
There's that word again, no, the crusades were not based around racism.
>>669073
rapes happen in EVERY war/conflict since the beggining of mankind.
>>671762
That'd be halfway believable if /pol/ wasn't an actual place you could go to with just one click on this page.
>>669073
Serbs did the same thing in the 90s.
Its probably fair to say rape happened in the past. No army is immune to it.
>>669086
>the Chivalric code
I bet you believe in Bushido too.
>>669073
No, massacres however were
>people saying templars were JIDF shills
<mfw they (crusaders) literally genocided jewish and muslim jerusalemi population and said how awesome it was
>>669715
Well, we're asking if rape was used as a weapon. It might have happened, but rape as some sort demoralization weapon certainly wasn't employed, since the Crusades were lead by the Church.
>>669073
>Is it true that rape was used as a weapon against conquered [. . .] women by the [invaders]?
This is universally true for any invasion/conquest
>>671876
Americans didn't rape Germans when we won WWII
>>671997
Why are you even on /his/? Holy shit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany#U.S._troops
>>671997
Which is why they were depicted as BBC-pushing cunt craving rapists?

>the Crusades were lead by the Church.
oh g-d my saides
>>669073
They weren't really targeting Muslims outside one or two massaraces in Jerusalem. Quite the opposite actually, lower taxes made the crusader states a place many Muslims from Seljuk lands settled which is lamented by said Seljuks in their memoirs and letters of state.
>>669073
Denying the the face rape hate rape was used on the hated dark skins by Europeans is just ridiculous.
>>672000
>"greatest phenomenon of massrapein history", and has concluded that at least 1.4 million women were raped in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia alone. According to Natalya Gesse, Russian soldiers raped German females from eight to eighty years old. Russian women were not spared either.
I thought the Germans had it worse.
>>672571
It was used on everyone by everyone, denying that is just ridiculous
>>669399
>only ate three meals a week as a devotion to Christ
And these dumb fucks chose to wage war. I'm certain some Templar lives could have been saved, or even battles won, if the Knight actually had regular caloric intake.
>>669109
It's actually Muslims and people who are associated with Islamic cultures. I've asked several of them. There are a surprising number of Turks browsing this board and they've all got a bone to pick with Europe.
>>672610
They were devoted to Christ, not calories.

Because you can duh.
>>669399
This fucking meme hahaha
>>672007
Ironic, considering now they are letting in refugees by insane numbers and standing by as they actually rape their women.
Indulgences meant crusaders could do whatever they wanted.
>>669082
People used rape as a means to pacifi conquered people it's psychological warfare
>>673889
what
>>669073
What is that supposed to mean? Like they had a policy in place to rape women specifically to demoralize? I think it's a lot more likely they did it because they were horny/for the lulz. If you wanted to use rape to pacify and demoralize troublemakers, you would rape the men.
>>669717
>Not knowing there were Crusades in Northern Europe
>>669073
No, rape of women in war time simply rape nothing else
yes but everyone rapes the womyn, you should know that.
>>669120
Who else would you rape?
>>669073
It's true that ALL wars leaded to mass rape
>>673630
Same difference
>>674870
looks like an asscrack
>>671709
Would you agree that the conflicts the U.S. has been involved with in the past 2 decades are exceptions?
>>669073
>implying any army ever before the advent of the film camera didn't rape.
You have a basic misunderstanding of the nature of man and violence if you think that rape is abnormal in times of war, my friend.
>>669073
Yes
>>669073
no anon, weapons were used as weapons against conquered muslim women by the crusaders
like pic related
rape, torture, piullage etc... is just what conquering armies do to people, theres was no distinct weaponisation of it in the crusades specificaly, shit just got done as usual
not that there arent historical examples of such things being used systematicaly, but i doubt crusaders were systematic enough to think of that, or to prevent it in any case
its all just humans being... human
