In that case … Congratulations, Oliver Willis! You’ve passed the test with flying colors!
Here’s the Media Matters “research fellow’s” take on recent events:
if you want to believe islam has a lock on violence, dont google the crusades.

Republicans are still talking about Obama's father, but CRUSADES! @owillis

If you have to point to the crusades to find a moral equivalence to violent jihadists today, don't open your eyes. @OWillis

If you have to point to the crusades to find a moral equivalence to violent jihadists today, don't google "Enlightenment." @OWillis

If you have to bring up the crusades in 2014, don't google what happened before the crusades. @OWillis

When you hear of a beheading, there's a better than 9 out of 10 chance it's an Islamist doing it. But CRUSADES, right @OWillis?

@RBPundit Every argument he makes against conservatives includes a projection that is totally false. Only thing he knows. @owillis

@RBPundit @owillis Some of us have actually read more history than just a Google search. http://t.co/4vzBNW7ZEz

Constantly pointing to the Crusades is a convenient "squirrel!" designed to absolve people from addressing problems we deal with today.

Comparing the Crusades to radical jihadists beheading random, innocent people in 2014 might make you an ignorant hack.

The Crusades represent modern Christianity in the same way eugenics represents modern science.

I swear: Any dope who invokes the Crusades as some sort of PC apologetics on behalf violent radical Islam can kiss my Lebanese ass. ?⚡️☀️

Willis’ retort to being called out on his stupidity?
look conservatives, dont let little old me stop you from saying kill all muslims if that's whats really in your hearts.
