Title: Is an American Crusade on the Horizon?
Topic: New Crusade Needed Now

Discussed by Professor Dr. Earl Tilford
with Center for Vision and Values (www.VisionAndValues.org)

Is an American Crusade needed? Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & Terrorism with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. A retired Air Force Intelligence Officer, from 1993 to 2001, he served as Director of Research at the U.S. Army’s Strategic Studies Institute.

Dr. Tilford says, “The logical end to a war is the final destruction of one of the combatants.” The Christian crusades began in response when the Muslims swept into the Holy Land and attacked the people. The Christians didn’t “start” the Crusade; they were simply defending themselves and the Holy Land.

Dr. Tilford discusses several other Crusades throughout history, including The Civil War and The Cold War. Dr. Tilford calls these wars “existential threats” and explains why he labels them as such, saying, “Human nature is by itself barbaric.”

He is also very concerned about Obama’s recent comment comparing the Christian Crusades to ISIS. Many feel the same way. Why? Dr. Tilford discusses what America must do to defeat ISIS and Al Qaeda once and for all.
