I've known some bitches who could hold a grudge, but 1,000 years is some insane isht.

Uh, the current US policy in Iraq and the War on Terror have been repeatedly called/viewed as a crusade by Christians against Mulsims by the extremists (of course Bush using the term crusade back in '01 didn't help) - perhaps this is what they are refering to, perhaps trying to link past and present in an effort to market their message more effectively to the fringe and those ignorant?
