and they dont understand that the jedi knights versus the evil empire was the parable for crusaders and the islamic empire

where on earth did you get that from? the jedis were derived from Samurai, they had nothing to do with the crusades. Lucas was ripping off Kurusawa films made two decades earlier - eg Hidden Fortress - not to mention a heck of a lot better.

it doesn't even make sense: Lucas is jewish, the crusades brutalized jews as well as muslims.

It's PC to bash the American majority who is of European descent. Too bad most parents are unaware of curriculum content. The failure to teach history represents another failure of the US education system. What else is new? If first graders can check 'King and King' out of the school library then anything goes.

Creating Islamic states is exactly what the Islamic fundamentalists are trying to do today. Those critical of Israel don't understand that the Palestinian militants will not be satified until all of 'Palestine' is an Islamic state.

Not much has changed.
