    We must bear in mind that this was said by a pious and devout Roman Catholic about a Muslim country.

    The Middle East is not just about Jewish vs Muslims. The entire Crusades were about Roman Catholics vs the Muslims as well. It just gets obfuscated by the ‘Jewish/Israeli/Palestinian’ thing and the Catholics get a ‘Get Out Of Jail Free’ card.
