Christianity really did nothing but pacify whites and put them under one banner. They endured 400+ years of being slaughtered and made into slaves before the Church did anything. People were crying out, pleading, begging for aid. The Church did nothing.
The Crusades were not a valiant and strong Christian response to Islamic aggression. The Crusades were the last minute effort to save face because Christianity would have faced extinction if they waited any longer, because Christianity made whites weak.
To this day they're still weak.
