Christianity A History "Crusades" 3/4

Acclaimed war correspondent Rageh Omaar examines the effect the Crusades have on the world today.

In the West, the Crusades are a chapter of Christian history that has little impact on our everyday lives, but in the Middle East many believe that the Crusades are happening again.

In the wake of 9/11, President George W Bush described the War on Terror as a 'Crusade'. Rageh believes this invocation of Christian Holy War alienated much of the Muslim world. Bush's comments have never been forgotten and are today exploited by Islamist terror organisations, who refer time and again to the West as Crusaders.

On his journey through Europe and the Middle East, Rageh speaks to historians as well as ordinary people in order to understand how it is that events of 900 years ago can have such a divisive effect on relations between the West and the Muslim world, and on two of the world's greatest religions - Islam and Christianity.

@theshadow180 well said!

Wasn't Spain was over run? If it wasn't the French man and his viceroy ingenious campaign..it would have been game over already...now his mixed children (yet they worship the cross) are at the door of the States..whoo hoo, the final frontier, Texas.

[UnitedPebbles]

Yeah, that is RIGHT!! a woman should know her place in the Muslim world. Haha, it was the Crusaders that set these Muslim pussies loose.

Pardon my vulgarity if any.

These Crusaders gained so much wealth and power, upon returning home they have a sense of independent and support the Protestant movement. (from my memory of literature reading)

Rome was over run and Muslims overtake her Eastern part...evidences lie in the architectures.

Religion is only a force of dissention and tyranny in the world and always has been. In every case of conflict it is always the god of the arguer that is right, no room for compromise or open mindedness because doctrine is spouted as absolute and infallible truth. The arguments in the comments below me illustrate this perfectly.

Muslim lies haha

A product of delusive minds of the early popes, To control the world, To kill other religions that are unbelievers so as the flesh & power greedy self-proclaimed prophet who made Violence & poligamy sex with children a word of God, real Christianity is the church of christ, within the hearts of men, To accept our lord & savior with pure love & faith, To love one another, whatever you do to your brothers you do it to me, Its so clearly said in the verse, Life is more precious thn stones.

[wildsurfer67]

Jesus Christ have never told anyone to kill the infidels?? Is it in the Holy scriptures, NEVER!!! he have said anything to kill in my name!!--But befor he left he said to love on e another, To love, love love, And not to Kill, kill, kill, Like the early popes and the muslims did in those days, --It is he devils idea of dominating the world, He have use ruthless leaders of any religion to damaged and kill, contradoctary to what the Lord jesus have instructed--So evil.

[wildsurfer67]

Maybe true because both of them are evil--The same thing of what muhamad did in his time, Terrorism and taking advantage of the weak, for power and greed, Denies The real status of jesus being lord and savior, denies the truth, cut & paste and twist the Holy bible To make himself a hero for power of all he can handle,---Same thing they are both demonic inspired.

[wildsurfer67]

Both Catholics popes and Islamic perverted doctrines are both very Evil------The true followers of christ is all about unselfishly loving others-serving god, serving the poor and the needy, and resisting earthly, worldly, wealth, Lust for many women, greed for power,---Thats the true way to serve GOD.

[wildsurfer67]

Matthew 25:31-46 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ --This is when the second coming of the Lord Jesus christ,--Never in jesus time he said that to kill the unbelievers of christianity and force them to beleive in me kill those who resist me, NEVER!!!!!!!----Its the Evil popes delusive ideas of power!!!!
