@ninjusto History isn't the point of the song, it is about how there once was a uniting reason to go to crusading because the Holy Land was conquered and the Christians were forced to go to war but in doing so "Jeruselam was lost" and they lost their "just" cause for war.
asking peole to use their heads is a wasted effort im afraid
because if we had used our heads there wouldnt have been 2 world wars and millions of people starving to death everyday not too mention the damge thats been done to our own planet and etc ect im sure we get the point
will everyone stop fighting over religion?! if you take a moment you might realise that in each holy book, be it jewish muslim or christian, there are many common messages, one of them is that we must love every person as a brother or sister regardless of any differances. it's wrong to simply condem a religion because of fanatics or people who used it for their own purposes! USE YOUR HEADS DAMMIT!!!
I have to admit that the music is good but this singer really hates the Muslims........by the way Saladin never drinks or rapes and he spared a lot of souls in the conquer of Jerusalem and Saladin believes that Allah is the king and we are all his servants.....
History proves my words and fair Christians know that I'm right

@jjarmoosh I'm glad someone knows the facts about the Crusades... I was just like.. hmmm the Christians never won the Crusades when facing Saladin xD At best they won the first Crusade and established what we call ''Quatre États Latins'' (english ain't my first language) Whatever... thanks for saying that out loud xD
@jjarmoosh Right you are, it also overlooks the fact that the Christians had taken Jerusalem from the Muslims, who were actually quite willing to co-exist with the Christians, in the first crusade and the Muslims simply took it back.
I've always assumed the crusade here was being used as more of a metaphor, and using more recognizable names.
@svartekaptenen Iraq and Iran: Saddam was supported by American operatives and the CIA. He was sustained through American money, why did the CIA sell Saddam billions worth of destructive weapons including chemical and biological agents? to kill his own ppl of course. Dont believe me do a little search your self. The chemical bombs Saddam used against the Kurds were American sponsored. please do look up the history of imperialism (ie. colonialism in the Middle East) before you respond to me.

I haven't heard this in years! My favourite of CdB. It doesn't matter of the historical correctness, it is just a great song, as it would have been written and performed by a troubadour of the time...
"From a writer of today! Fiction is fiction! So many tales have been told, so many books have been sold, and so many fools still look for more gold where there is only just more added lead to the pencil that started it all ."
It's a good song but unrelated to the truth. Richard the Lionheart never re-took Jerusalem. King Richard and Saladin concluded a truce by the terms of which Christians were permitted to visit Jerusalem without paying tribute, that they should have free access to the holy places, and remain in undisturbed possession of the coast from Jaffa to Tyre. King Richard then set sail for England, and with his departure from the Holy Land the Third Crusade came to an end.
Why can't you people listen to the damn song instead of getting into arguments about religion and war? It's a great song, no matter what meaning it has.
@ShotgunDolphin you are right sweetie, and the video is equally as good. but where there is religion mentioned, there will be controversy. What I love in particular about this song, is the way he puts the story together"the crusader" perfectly, without really adding his opinion, he is just telling a story. Which is cool. Although Im a Christian, I loved this song years before my conversion. So I love the fact that the anti christians get their butts kicked in the story.....love it!!
@ryan81923 seen in the Ottoman Empire? you're being ironic right? with all the cutting women's wombs and forcing people into slavery.... not to mention the Islamic Conquests....
@6MemoryOfForever9 right? I don't think people realize the the Islamic empire was the biggest one in the history of the world, something like 9 times bigger than the Roman empire. And they did not do that by politely asking them to convert to a wonderful religion.
@44warjunkie may have been bigger,but that was due to the population of the islamic nation,roman empire ruled for hundreds of years and remains the greatest ruling empire in history.
All I've got to say is listen to lyrics of our poets for there you will find the truth and if a man came into this world knowing everything then my friends that man would be one boring bastard!
Okay, right, BRILL SONG. Now, what I have to say is..
Stp with the arguing. Do you not understand what this song is teaching? That war, that killing, that MURDEROUS HORRID BEHAVIOUR, made neither side happier, made them both loo,k bad. Now, I know your all entitled to your opinions but, gee guys, calm down.
@mollysangelique Ik begrijp niet echt, maar ik gebruikte Google om te vertalen en ik denk dat het Nederlands? U kunt vertalen naar het Engels voor mij?
It's true that religion shouldn't be judged by the actions of a minority. At the same time it is relevant to look at the actions of the people who have the power within an organization. The priests, cardinals and bishops are influencing the people who are worshipping in their domains.
Hey there people. Theres no need for people to put each other down you know, we're each entitled to an opinion. JDbishop you do have a point that unfortunately alot of religions, groups, beliefs are judged by what some people have done. my point is that you can't judge a religion by what a minority may have done. If we are to judge Islam due to what a small minority (and it is a small minority) of people have committed i.e. so called terrorists, (continued in next post)
should we then say that Christianity teaches homosexuality and paedophilia because of the numerous cases of bishops/priests who have committed these acts? Any person who can think, can see that would be ludicrous. Instead we should learn, learn about whats out there even if it isnt what you believe...and by that I mean go read and study the various religions or what not, then form an idea...but not just calously make statements with no backing. Nowhere in the Quran does it instigate violence
I have told u to shut your mouth IF U DON'T KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING.And this is just a recommendation!But it seems that u are unable to go through a debate without insulting(as u again called me hypocrite,said stupid to Quran,...).Quran is not stupid,and God does love all regardless of the religion,your opinion about Islam is absolutely wrong.However,if u feel u are wise and mature enough to debate on any issue without insulting other beliefs and opinions,I'd be happy to have a discussion with u.
forget it. her view of things is clearly too biased for any proper debate. otherwise she wouldn't imply that it is mainly islam which has caused/ causes murder, inhumanity and mayhem in the course of human history. the crusades are one of many examples of a religion (in this and numerous other cases christianity, mind you) being instrumentalised in order to justify heinous acts against fellow man. it is primarily man who perverts religion and not vica versa, if history's anything to go. my 2 cts
koran is a piece of crap. Prove that you know enough to debate me. Prove that i'm the one who should shut my mouth because I don't know anything. Prove that what I have said is wrong with EVIDENCE not just your opinion. Come to Paltalk if you want to debate/discuss.
lol, well first thing you've got to do is make your point and justify...then i respond with justification and then it repeats till we learn more. That's what you call a debate :) Instead of ranting on about not knowing stuff, make your argument and take some of your own advice, and provide EVIDENCE. would've thought its simple enough to understand lol
"koran is a piece of crap". well, if THAT isn't "EVIDENCE" and a brilliant example of "debate/discuss" then i don't know what is. quite a scholar we're dealing with here. lol
Argument: People decide to fly planes into buildings and kill thousands of people in the name of the Koran.
This is apparently a 'very small minority'
Yet it's only a very small minority of muslims who speak out against it and say it was wrong.
Personally, choosing to follow a book that tells people to kill others anyway is wrong. So is shooting a man 5 times because he has been accused of burglary, without a trial.
Firstly Id say read the Qu'ran....you'd be surprised to learn that what it teaches is contrary to your current beliefs. u say thousands have died cos of planes in buildings...tragic...but what bout the thousands killed, maimed, livelihoods disrupted..in pursuit of oil?? Struggle in the way of an idea or belief far outweighs struggle in the way of anything material like oil or riches. and it is indeed a minority, you'll find well over 90% of muslims condone whats happened in the name of islam
I've read it mate. You think I'd try and preach what I don;t know?
It teaches that a woman is worthless. It teaches that killing a man who has not conformed to Allah is a good thing. It teaches that killing of children or women who bear children of the enemy is a good thing.
And I'm not saying anything about the oil. Those troops are there and they have done much good for a cause. They have enough restrictions as it is. Oil may be part of it, I agree, but look at the by products.
much good for a cause?? they've definately done something for a cause...a cause built on lies, lies made up to justify having a war and stealing oil and other stuff. if u think bout it, not much has changd since crusader days: crusade launched under the pretense of holy war, when it was mainly cos brittany coveted the riches and the wealth of the east. Secondly to get the layman "off the streets" and do something "positive" for their country. So yeah, causes built on lies! LOL
Without oil you wouldn't have a car, computer, most of the food you eat... etc.
They are there for you. And you don't have the courage to be there. Never ever bad mouth Soldiers, whatever your opinion, remember whatever they are doing is for you.
Give up everything you use that involves oil, then you can start preaching.
Thats such a stupid thing to say LOL! I never said oil was a bad thing, I know it greases our way of living...get yo facts right, those soldiers aren't there for me. No..haha what a joke. They might be there for you, but not for a lot of us, cos yeah we need oil, but that doesnt mean we have a right to just barge into any country and steal their supplies...thats bully mentality and nothing justifies it. Just cos I "need" something, doesn't give me the right to go and take it. Enough said lol
You little Prick don't you ever say that they aren't there for you, EVER! they put their life on the line everyday for you, and every other person on this planet that loves freedom. Not just americans!!!!
It's a myth. We have fought on both sides of every war since WWII. It's all about money and power. Freedom has nothing to do with it. We have supported more dictators than free societies in almost every conflct we have ever been involved in. Who do you think sold Saddam his "WMD"?
You're still using the supplies. So, you agree that you don't have the right, yet you still do it? So you know you are in the wrong, yet persist to cause the problem? Then you're more of a bastard than I.
What you've written there mate is a load of crap, it doesn't make sense! lol im not using those "supplies", and im not still doing anything. In case u didnt know, our sources of oil dont just come from Iraq or from those countries, there are loads of other sources. and where did bastard come into this? confuuuuuuuuused, go sort it out. Peace
samwellomar, it's not the soldiers whom we're badmouthing, it's the psychopaths with power who ordered them off to war. And, regarding War or Oil, how many lives is that tank of gas worth to you? And what does it say about you that you're willing to call for others to be killed just to get another fill-up (even though you could get it without killing them anyway)?
Regardless on what that 'cause' is built, the religious zealots are EVISCERATING the civilized world.
There is no such thing as a 'moderate' muslim, nor christian, nor any religious follower on this earth.
That's the REAL problem. You see a bunch of white christians yelling muslims are the issue, then muslims feeling insulted and yelling christians are the issue. In truth, both are a disease and religion is a crime against humanity.
lol your opinion mate, your entitled to it, but good luck, that kind of narrow mindedness is what the world needs! hahaha
Ignorance and stupidity is a crime against humanity...not religion, to each their own I say, at the end of the day as long as we're learning things and expanding our knowledge, is all that matters....whether ur muslim, christian, jew, atheist what not. And hopefully when you get WISDOM...you'll see how statements like ur previous one, are just plain stupid. good luck!
Maybe, but whatever religion or god i believe in. None makes people die. All religions now are doing it all wrong, there never as been so many deaths in the name of gods, in history...
Actually, you're utterly wrong. There are -- of course -- more moderate and progressive Muslims and Christians (and Jews, and Buddhists, and Wiccans, et al) than there are extreme conservative fundamentalist members of any of those faiths. You're making a really simpleminded sampling error: assuming that because the latter are so noisy and proselytize so outrageously to get media play, & the former quietly go about their business, none of the latter exist. Cont.
But why would you expect them to be anything but quiet? Moderates do not go around shouting about their faith, or even announcing it uninvited; surely you know many people who refrain from such behavior, so look there and you'll find the peaceful faithful. That they aren't the sorts to disturb your awareness is just to say they are moderate, and your lack of awareness of them is just that. You don't want them to be noisier, do you? Wouldn't it be better to let the quietly faithful stay that way?
secondly you shouldnt take silence as anything more than that...cos ppl choose not to share their views, doesn't mean one shoudl assume their views for them. Thats a very stupid thing to do...isnt that what "democracy" is about? anyways key thing is education..and lack of it...ppl need to start educating themselves instead of following what they may have just read or seen...peace out dudes! :)
Whoa!! settle down people. This is one artists version of events. It doesn't matter if it is historically correct - it is a cracking yarn either way. Check out the live version from the live in South Africa cd - it's brilliant!! ROCK ON CDEB.
The point of the song is when will we finally wake up spirtually. If God was to come down from the heavens & ask every Man,Woman & Child how they lived their lives I don't think for one minute God would ask O by the way whats,your relgion? Its how we live our lives & treat others that counts not what relgion we practise.
lol 40 virgins... redbaron863 u serprized me...i'm amercian muslim and i never heard about that and i asked too... evrybody told me this habbet in jewish books not muslims books..
and thay told me..u knows nothing .. and no one need ur dark opinions ..
the 72 virgins is a media lie buddy. Or bring me something form the Quran that says when you die you will have 72 virgins. :) None. They claim it is a Hadith and yet it is not even a proven one.
if you had bothered actually reading my comment I said the number is not known (in the koran) but it certainly says you get houria. And the hadith is sahih (authentic). No hadith or the koran can be proven, so that's just a silly comment anyway 'buddy'. You have been lied to if you think its only the Western media that claims 72 virgins.
Look pal: I will say this once. In Islam, when someone dies and goes to heaven which has no wife/husband, a huriah will marry him or her (each one to the other gender) and that is all. No 70 or 72 or 7000. This crap was found by the Christian extemests through the 1800s.
look Pal I will say this again and again till you learn comprehension. I NEVER SAID THERE WILL BE 72 HOURIA IN YOUR BROTHEL IN THE SKY. IT DOESNT COME FROM CHRISTIANS IT COMES FROM YOUR STUPID HADITHS AND TAFSIRS. GO READ YOUR KORAP IT DOESNT SAY ONLY FOR UNMARRIED
Ok, as saw your page and I know what kind of person you are. There is no point out of this so I will say it once and leave: Not the Quran or the Sunnah talks about giving a huriah to those who die other than the reason I stated. People like you have one eye to see one image, and frankly I dont have time for you or your ignorance.
you call ME ignorant but you cannot understand a simple sentence. YOU ADMIT YOU GET HOURIA IN YOUR BROTHEL IN THE SKY> GREAT. I NEVER SAID YOU GET X AMOUNT OF HOURIA, BUT YOUR IMAMS AND SCHOLARS TOO. YOUR KORAN DOESNT SAY ONE MANWOMAN ONE HOURIA. HOURIA IS ONLY FOR MEN AND YOU GET PLURAL # WHETHER YOU ARE MARRIED OR NOT
great song. stop making religion the subject over the music. next thing will be people commenting on 'borderline' arguing about the 2nd world war. this is a great song which provokes thought, keep thinking before posting idiot comments

@ShotgunDolphin you are right sweetie, and the video is equally as good. but where there is religion mentioned, there will be controversy. What I love in particular about this song, is the way he puts the story together"the crusader" perfectly, without really adding his opinion, he is just telling a story. Which is cool. Although Im a Christian, I loved this song years before my conversion. So I love the fact that the anti christians get their butts kicked in the story.....love it!!

@6MemoryOfForever9 right? I don't think people realize the the Islamic empire was the biggest one in the history of the world, something like 9 times bigger than the Roman empire. And they did not do that by politely asking them to convert to a wonderful religion.

@44warjunkie may have been bigger,but that was due to the population of the islamic nation,roman empire ruled for hundreds of years and remains the greatest ruling empire in history.

Rule one is not to feed the troll.
It's true that religion shouldn't be judged by the actions of a minority. At the same time it is relevant to look at the actions of the people who have the power within an organization. The priests, cardinals and bishops are influencing the people who are worshipping in their domains.

Hey there people. Theres no need for people to put each other down you know, we're each entitled to an opinion. JDbishop you do have a point that unfortunately alot of religions, groups, beliefs are judged by what some people have done. my point is that you can't judge a religion by what a minority may have done. If we are to judge Islam due to what a small minority (and it is a small minority) of people have committed i.e. so called terrorists, (continued in next post)
gojitalv4 2 years ago
should we then say that Christianity teaches homosexuality and paedophilia because of the numerous cases of bishops/priests who have committed these acts? Any person who can think, can see that would be ludicrous. Instead we should learn, learn about whats out there even if it isnt what you believe...and by that I mean go read and study the various religions or what not, then form an idea...but not just calously make statements with no backing. Nowhere in the Quran does it instigate violence

forget it. her view of things is clearly too biased for any proper debate. otherwise she wouldn't imply that it is mainly islam which has caused/ causes murder, inhumanity and mayhem in the course of human history. the crusades are one of many examples of a religion (in this and numerous other cases christianity, mind you) being instrumentalised in order to justify heinous acts against fellow man. it is primarily man who perverts religion and not vica versa, if history's anything to go. my 2 cts

lol, well first thing you've got to do is make your point and justify...then i respond with justification and then it repeats till we learn more.

K
Argument: People decide to fly planes into buildings and kill thousands of people in the name of the Koran.
This is apparently a 'very small minority'
Yet it's only a very small minority of muslims who speak out against it and say it was wrong.
Personally, choosing to follow a book that tells people to kill others anyway is wrong. So is shooting a man 5 times because he has been accused of burglary, without a trial.
Koran is an evil script.
Evil.
samwellomar 2 years ago
Firstly Id say read the Qu'ran....you'd be surprised to learn that what it teaches is contrary to your current beliefs. u say thousands have died cos of planes in buildings...tragic...but what bout the thousands killed, maimed, livelihoods disrupted..in pursuit of oil?? Struggle in the way of an idea or belief far outweighs struggle in the way of anything material like oil or riches. and it is indeed a minority, you'll find well over 90% of muslims condone whats happened in the name of islam
gojitalv4 2 years ago
I've read it mate. You think I'd try and preach what I don;t know?
It teaches that a woman is worthless. It teaches that killing a man who has not conformed to Allah is a good thing. It teaches that killing of children or women who bear children of the enemy is a good thing.
And I'm not saying anything about the oil. Those troops are there and they have done much good for a cause. They have enough restrictions as it is. Oil may be part of it, I agree, but look at the by products.
samwellomar 2 years ago
much good for a cause?? they've definately done something for a cause...a cause built on lies, lies made up to justify having a war and stealing oil and other stuff. if u think bout it, not much has changd since crusader days: crusade launched under the pretense of holy war, when it was mainly cos brittany coveted the riches and the wealth of the east. Secondly to get the layman "off the streets" and do something "positive" for their country. So yeah, causes built on lies! LOL
gojitalv4 2 years ago
Oil helps you live your life.
They did it for you.
Without oil you wouldn't have a car, computer, most of the food you eat... etc.
They are there for you. And you don't have the courage to be there. Never ever bad mouth Soldiers, whatever your opinion, remember whatever they are doing is for you.
Give up everything you use that involves oil, then you can start preaching.
samwellomar 2 years ago
Thats such a stupid thing to say LOL! I never said oil was a bad thing, I know it greases our way of living...get yo facts right, those soldiers aren't there for me. No..haha what a joke. They might be there for you, but not for a lot of us, cos yeah we need oil, but that doesnt mean we have a right to just barge into any country and steal their supplies...thats bully mentality and nothing justifies it. Just cos I "need" something, doesn't give me the right to go and take it. Enough said lol

What you've written there mate is a load of crap, it doesn't make sense! lol im not using those "supplies", and im not still doing anything.

Peace
gojitalv4 2 years ago
samwellomar, it's not the soldiers whom we're badmouthing, it's the psychopaths with power who ordered them off to war. And, regarding War or Oil, how many lives is that tank of gas worth to you? And what does it say about you that you're willing to call for others to be killed just to get another fill-up (even though you could get it without killing them anyway)?

Oh shut the fuck up.
Regardless on what that 'cause' is built, the religious zealots are EVISCERATING the civilized world.
There is no such thing as a 'moderate' muslim, nor christian, nor any religious follower on this earth.
That's the REAL problem. You see a bunch of white christians yelling muslims are the issue, then muslims feeling insulted and yelling christians are the issue. In truth, both are a disease and religion is a crime against humanity.

Actually, you're utterly wrong. There are -- of course -- more moderate and progressive Muslims and Christians (and Jews, and Buddhists, and Wiccans, et al) than there are extreme conservative fundamentalist members of any of those faiths. You're making a really simpleminded sampling error: assuming that because the latter are so noisy and proselytize so outrageously to get media play, & the former quietly go about their business, none of the latter exist. Cont.
severinssister 1 year ago
But why would you expect them to be anything but quiet? Moderates do not go around shouting about their faith, or even announcing it uninvited; surely you know many people who refrain from such behavior, so look there and you'll find the peaceful faithful. That they aren't the sorts to disturb your awareness is just to say they are moderate, and your lack of awareness of them is just that. You don't want them to be noisier, do you? Wouldn't it be better to let the quietly faithful stay that way?
severinssister 1 year ago
secondly you shouldnt take silence as anything more than that...cos ppl choose not to share their views, doesn't mean one shoudl assume their views for them. Thats a very stupid thing to do...isnt that what "democracy" is about? anyways key thing is education..and lack of it...ppl need to start educating themselves instead of following what they may have just read or seen...peace out dudes! :)

The number of the houria or virgins is not known but ACTUALLY READ your koran
Dragonlady66 3 years ago
the 72 virgins is a media lie buddy. Or bring me something form the Quran that says when you die you will have 72 virgins. :) None. They claim it is a Hadith and yet it is not even a proven one.
Freedom544 3 years ago
if you had bothered actually reading my comment I said the number is not known (in the koran) but it certainly says you get houria. And the hadith is sahih (authentic). No hadith or the koran can be proven, so that's just a silly comment anyway 'buddy'. You have been lied to if you think its only the Western media that claims 72 virgins.
Dragonlady66 3 years ago
Look pal: I will say this once. In Islam, when someone dies and goes to heaven which has no wife/husband, a huriah will marry him or her (each one to the other gender) and that is all. No 70 or 72 or 7000. This crap was found by the Christian extemests through the 1800s.
Freedom544 3 years ago
look Pal I will say this again and again till you learn comprehension. I NEVER SAID THERE WILL BE 72 HOURIA IN YOUR BROTHEL IN THE SKY. IT DOESNT COME FROM CHRISTIANS IT COMES FROM YOUR STUPID HADITHS AND TAFSIRS. GO READ YOUR KORAP IT DOESNT SAY ONLY FOR UNMARRIED
Dragonlady66 3 years ago
Ok, as saw your page and I know what kind of person you are. There is no point out of this so I will say it once and leave: Not the Quran or the Sunnah talks about giving a huriah to those who die other than the reason I stated. People like you have one eye to see one image, and frankly I dont have time for you or your ignorance.
Freedom544 3 years ago
you call ME ignorant but you cannot understand a simple sentence. YOU ADMIT YOU GET HOURIA IN YOUR BROTHEL IN THE SKY> GREAT. I NEVER SAID YOU GET X AMOUNT OF HOURIA, BUT YOUR IMAMS AND SCHOLARS TOO. YOUR KORAN DOESNT SAY ONE MANWOMAN ONE HOURIA. HOURIA IS ONLY FOR MEN AND YOU GET PLURAL # WHETHER YOU ARE MARRIED OR NOT
