Would it surprise you to know that the Crusades were caused by Islamic terrorism? Most people are not aware of this fact, nor are they aware that America was at war with Islamic terrorists and pirates since its founding in the late 1700's. After decades of piracy against American ships, imprisonments and executions of its sailors President Thomas Jefferson finally had to send the Marines to the headquarters of the Islamic pirates. They were the terrorists of their day. And for hundreds of years Muslims had been invading Europe, killing at will and imposing Sharia law on the Europeans: in Spain, Greece, Italy and France as well as eastern European countries. Despite this history of Islamic aggression, slavery, unprovoked conquest, and murder; our schools and universities only cite the Crusades and blame Christians for these wars, when in fact; the Crusades were conducted as a reaction to put a stop to the aggressive invasions of the Muslims.

By reading these poets of mourning through the framework of trauma, Brennan reflects on our traumatized moment and weighs two potential responses - the fantasy of transcendence and the ethic of trust.
