Give them enough time and they'll warp back nearly a thousand years and bring up the Crusades.
They've been burned a few times with that analogy in recent years. You can't argue that Islamic extremists aren't Muslim and still argue that Crusaders were Christian. The "Crusaders aren't Christian" argument at least has the benefit of the fact that Jesus was not a conquering warlord and taught us to love our enemy while Mohammad slaughtered thousands. The progressives have a tough internal struggle going now to figure out which paradigm they want to hold onto most: Evil Christianity or Benign Islam.
Or they'll just be hypocrites.
