Well, it was the Christians verses the Muslims. So, maybe a cross for the Christians and...er....something for the Muslims?

Early Modern Europe is a big window.  Please Elaborate.  Are you referencing the period after 1500, or before?\n\nIn terms of numbers and percentages, there actually were few cases of witchcraft and few people accused.  The majority of people accused were heretics, and also midwives.  Logically speaking, there are several possibilities.\n\n1.  They were witches.\n2.  They were political enemies of their accusers, or the handlers of their accusers.\n3.  They had wealth, and their death allowed its capture.\n4.  They were ideological opposed to the belief structure, and suffered the fate of all iconoclasts.

There are quite a few facts in this book of fiction. The Catholic church definitely carried on a campaign against the old pagan folk beliefs. This was done over a period of several centuries from the time that Constantine adopted Christianity through the campaigns against witches (which continued under protestants in the Salem witch trials). The fourth and fifith centuries correspond to the time when orthodox Christianity (the Catholic church) was trying to fight both the Arians of Spain, but also the pagans of northern Europe and Germany. The number of people killed during these pogroms ishard to determine accurately.

It's a long list:\nEgyptians\nAssyrians\nBabylonians\nPersians\nRomans\nRoman Catholic leaders in Spain(inquisition)\nRussians  (early 20th century)\nHitler's regime\n\nsome of these were only because they were jews and in the earlier circumstances they were just "in the way" of conquering nations so to speak.

Europeans had an Alliance with the Jews way back during the time of the Crusaders.  They cooperate to control the European economy.

Where was the "Christ" in Christianity during the witchhunts? During the several Crusades? Where was the "Christ" in Christianity during the horrific Inquisitions, where non-Christians, Jews, Muslims, homosexuals, pagans were brutally tortured in the name of Jesus, and slaughtered by the thousands? And the list goes on, to the Native Americans, who were forced to convert  or die.\n\n"Christian" extremists may have claimed "Christ", but it should be obvious that "Christ" would never have claimed them. They don't care, though. They think they own "God" and can make "God" anything they want "him" to be.

simply:\n\nthe Christian did the Crusades, trying to free the Promised Land from the Moslems, so they will be proud of their 'accomplishments.'\n\nthe muslims were the ones attacked by the Crusaders, so they will believe the Crusades to have been imperialism and an invasion.\n\nthe Jews along the way to the promised land were massacred by the Crusaders, who said, 'why go all the way to the Promised Land to kill the non-Christians, when we have non-Christians right here!' Therefore the Jews will not see the Crusaders as moral or ethical people, but rather as blood-hungry butchers.

Good job! You've mixed religion and politics in the same question. Bold move :-)

The Templars were founded by Hugh de Payens, a knight of the First Crusade, around 1118-1119. Even though the Holy Land was in the hands of the Christians, it was still a dangerous place. Hugh and nine of his fellow knights stayed in the Holy Land after the crusade to provide armed escort for pilgrims traveling from Jaffa to Jerusalem. The Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon took their name from the House of Solomon, a wing of the King of Jerusalem’s palace reputed to be the site of the Temple of Solomon. \n\n    As the years went on, the fame of this small group of knights grew and so did its numbers. The Templars were officially recognized and sanctioned by the papacy in 1128 at the Council of Troyes. By the time of the Second Crusade, the order had also won the right to wear a red cross on their white mantles as a symbol of their devotion to God. The group owed no small thanks to the benefaction and endorsement of (Saint) Bernard of Clairvaux, one of the most charismatic religious leaders of medieval Europe, for building public support in their favor. \n\n    Along with the Hospitallers, the Templars became the only major, permanent fighting force in Syria. They were involved in every major campaign and battle that took place in the Holy Land during the Crusades. The Templars' discipline was legendary in battle, but they were also seen by some as rash and aggressive, especially under Grand Master Gerard de Ridfort (1185-1189). Along with a powerful martial force, the Templars were reputed to have had the best spy network in the Middle East. In addition, they were important military advisors to the King of Jerusalem on both military and non-military matters. The order eventually became embroiled in the politics and economics of the Holy Land. \n\n    Back in Europe, the Templars owned huge amounts of land to generate supplies and revenue for their brothers fighting in the East.  One source commented that although the Templars as individuals were to own no property, collectively the order wished to acquire everything.  In addition, the Templars were heavily involved with banking and were the main financial backers of several crusades.\n\n    But the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and the Templars burned very brightly.  Due to the loss of lands and life in the Holy Land during the latter half of the thirteenth century, all of the military orders came under criticism.  With the motivation for crusades fading and criticism rising, the Templars were targeted by Philip the Fair, King of France, who was desperately in need of money. On October 13, 1307, most of the order’s members in France were arrested and imprisoned. Charges ranged from sodomy to witchcraft to desecration of the crucifix. Philip’s propaganda master, William of Nogaret, effectively used very old political and religious devices to turn public opinion thoroughly against the Templars. Similar arrests and trials were conducted soon after throughout Europe.  The debate over their guilt or innocence is still a popular topic among scholars. \n\n    Due to the nature of their "fall from grace" and suppression, the Templars have become the subject of popular mythology.  Their alleged activities have been connected to ancient Gnostic traditions, witchcraft and magic, the Masonic order, and even the Shroud of Turin.   Most of the evidence presented in works relating to these matters is fragile at best, however.\n\n    Many broad overviews were written on the Knights Templar during the nineteenth century.  After that time, works concerning the order all but disappear until recently. For the most part modern works concerning the Templars can be divided into two subject categories: general overviews and examinations of their downfall and trial.  Some geographically specific studies (for example, the Templars in Kent) have been also been conducted.  One area of study that is lacking in Templar historiography is biography

well John Paul II and now Benedict XVI have tried to foster peace between the two faiths.\n\nThere was however a point in history where they really did duke it out. Islam was encroaching on Europe and causing death and forced conversion. The Church called Europe to push back the Muslim invaders and it was quite a bloody war.

Excerpt from Wikipedia article:\n\nThe Crusades were a series of several military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place during the 11th through 13th centuries. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, but some were directed against other Europeans, such as the Fourth Crusade against Constantinople, the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France and the Northern Crusades.

The Crusades were a series of holy wars waged by Christians (usually against Muslims) in the medieval period. The word "crusdade" has enterd the lexicon as a general word for any kind of holy war, or sometimes for any campaign someone wages with serious zeal.

Well the guys with the weapons are the muslims and the evangelical christians. The buddhists and the taoists have definitely got the moves for hand-to-hand combat. The jews aren't hard but they've got some big mates, so you can't really f*ck with them either. Sikhs are allowed to carry a ceremonial sword. And the atheists are the only ones with  the laws of physics on their side. So they're all pretty hard really, if you're going to fight i'd fight the agnostics, the bunch of poofs.
