That kind of violence had happened before unfortunately. It is often between cultures that are extremely different from one another like the Greeks and Persians, the Mongols and their victims, the Huns and their conquered, etc. The Mongol conquests were a little bit after the Crusades or at least some of them.

That is a very interesting site you linked. Thanks.
