using pre-enlightened times to dismiss religion post-enlightened era, wow such nuance... but then again you went to wikipedia to look up something from middle school
"July 11, 1924, Fish found eight-year-old Beatrice Kiel playing alone on her parents' farm on Staten Island, New York. He offered her money to come and help him look for rhubarb. She was about to leave the farm when her mother chased Fish away. Fish left but returned later to the Kiels' barn, where he tried to sleep but was discovered by Beatrice's father and forced to leave. Three days later, Fish killed Francis McDonnell, also on Staten Island. During 1924, the 54-year-old Fish, suffering from psychosis, felt that God was commanding him to torture and sexually mutilate children.[10]"

He also doesn't seem to know the historical context of the Crusades...
The Crusades were self defense after 200 years of Muslims invading Europe, burning down churches, and raping women and children.
Europe would be 100% Muslim if not for the Crusades.
Saying they were religiously motivated that is all
