I didn't know that. Such a good man. Actually, Doohan may have been one reason for me to become an electrical engineer as well. I was fascinated by him and the Enterprise when I watched the Original series as a child. Doohan was my favorite character.

@rubaiathasanrifat1026 Thank you for your gracious comment, you are absolutely right. The church being corrupt is one historical fact the film got right: the popes of that time misled the people in thinking it was OK to murder people, which was absolutely wrong.

@rubaiathasanrifat1026 "you're not from Bangladesh" Quite... I actually am Dutch, but have spent some time in my childhood living in Turkey, and visited Iran with my best friend who was born there. Only good memories of the people I met there, even though I am a Christian.

However I very much doubt they teach about the Muslim invasions of Europe that preceded the crusades. Or the Invasion of the Byzantine empire. Or the many ottoman invasions of Europe. Islam has been an aggressive, violent force throughout its history.

The movie is very anti-christian and pro-muslim. Historically, it is a very bad representation of how things were, with many anachronistic ideas. For a good commentary on it, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTjUu1Bt29o The movie is basically what modern, anti-christian and pro-diversity Holywood would want the crusades to have been.

@AliothAncalagon By stopping some downward strokes from a cavalryman on horseback that would otherwise have hit your far shoulder or arm. Note they were worn by cavalrymen who fought dismounted.

@AliothAncalagon Sounds a bit like something from a Monty Python sketch ;-)
