It's quite amazing how bad some AI image tools are and how the good ones produce images indistinguishable from a real photo.

This thread has good timing. I just watched Kingdom of Heaven yesterday.

It's good to put things into context though...

During the time of the Crusades - "brown" Turkish Muslims were invading White Orthodox Christian Anatolia [now renamed Turkey and is 99%+ brown Muslim today - talk about ethnic cleansing! This happened after they lost the Battle of Manzikertl in 1071]. The Turks were not from the area but came from Mongolia originally, several thousand miles east, and north of China.

It was the Christian Emperor of Anatolia / Byzantines who asked for help from the Pope in Rome who was a thousand miles a way [in those days = months away]. He did so in 1096 - 25 years after losing the Battle of Manzikertl, and Turkish Muslim Mongolians over running his nation and genociding his people.

Southern Europe itself at that time - Southern Italy, Sicily, Spain, were occupied by Muslim invaders. Constant attacks on Greece and southern France at the time. Eastern Europe was under attack at the same time, also by Mongolians, this band however converted to Islam just as the Turks did and called themselves Tatars. They had the Russian people and other Slavic Eastern Europeans under their boot when the Crusades were going on.

Rome itself was raided by Arab Muslims before the First Crusade...

This sparked the First Crusade. Long story short - the Turkish hordes won in Anatolia, and it's why Anatolia is now called Turkey now and is nearly entirely Muslim. But the Crusades saved much of Europe itself from that fate. You had a Europe under constant Jihad attack and it responded after centuries on defense.

In the time of the Crusades though. Syria and Palestine + Anatolia were still Christian majority lands, as was Egypt, so these were not exactly invaders per se but more so liberators of a religion that conquered them by force with the Islamic Conquests [this was from the 630s AD onward and spilled into India, North Africa, and other places] and then slowly converted the population by treating non Muslims as 2nd class citizens.

https://phoenicia.org/The-Arab-Islamic-Conquest-and-its-Devastating-Impact-on-the-Mediterranean-Countries-and-the-East.html

10%+ of Egypt is still Christian, they are called Coptic Christians. 10%+ of Syrians are also still Christian despite ISIS. Palestinians, 10 to 20% are Christian, despite being put in the middle between Israel bombings and Hamas/Islamic intolerance, and their blood goes back to Jesus's time. So this community still exists outside Europe.

I guess this means I finally need to build out my Crusader lower.


Any suggestions?

This might not be the time.  The Crusaders killed plenty of Jews in France on their way south.

I've gotten some cool stuff from gabs ai. It does tend to do some retarded things with hands and weapons. It also helps if you just want a single subject not interacting with other nouns

Question: Which company


https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/40561/F-8_jpg-2988101.JPG

I’m not the person you replied to, but a company called Range Tool used to make AR15 stuff, including lowers.  They made a stripped lower that was either completely blank or they had a few different model versions. One of them I think was called something like Knights Templar or something like that.  I’ll post pictures of one of the ones I have tonight when I get home.

The required markings were simple and small and located above into the left of the selector markings.  That left the entire magwell on both sides for their different theme engravings that they did.  I think they made other things and basically did gun stuff on the side.  I first purchased one of these Crusader type lowers from them and it had a serial number that I think was below 20.  I then contacted them to see if they would be willing to do some custom serial numbers and he said no problem so I had them do a few custom serials(birth year, fraternity pin number, Sigma Chi founding year, etc)

If I recall correctly, one side had a shield with a cross in it engraved on it, very similar to the Norman shield logo used by the Sigma Chi fraternity.  It may have just been the exact style of Cross, but I’ve think there was a shield surrounding it.  The other side of the magwell had the Latin words “In hoc signo vinces”, which conventionally has been translated  to “In this sign thou shalt conquer”.  That phrase is the Latin version of a Greek phrase that emperor Constantine says was revealed to him in the sky, along with a Cross, when he was marching his troops into battle. Afterwards he converted to Christianity and was the first Christian Roman Emperor, ended the persecution of Christians, built a church on the tomb of Jesus, convoked the First Council of Nicaea(one of the first major early Christian/Catholic church gatherings to agree upon a cohesive Catholic/Christian religious beliefs), etc.  He also used the early Christian symbol, referred to as Chi-Rho, as his military battle standard.  Pretty great combo for a crusades or templar AR15 lower.

Great dual purpose as well if you are a Sigma Chi fraternity alumni/member, because the cross within a shield is the main part of the fraternity badge and logo and the phrase “In hoc signo vinces” is the fraternity motto.

Cite? Muhammed is the only prophet in Islam, aside from Jesus and the Jewish prophets. Islam holds that there would be no prophets after Muhammed.
