One of the most frequent
comments members of the Understanding the Threat team hear when
presenting information about sharia (Islamic law) and the life of
Islam's prophet Mohammed is:
"What about the
Crusades?"
UTT responds with:
"What about the Crusades? What do you know about
them? When was the first Crusade? Who ordered it?
Why was the Crusade ordered?"
Generally, the response is
a blank look.
Islam's prophet Mohammad
died in 632 AD after waging many battles against non-muslims in the
Arabian peninsula.
The armies of Mohammed
conquered Jerusalem in 638 AD without any provocation from the
pilgrims there.
By 732 AD, the armies of
Mohammed were in Gaul (France). The European armies led by
Charles "The Hammer" Martel defeated the Mohammedans, saving
the West from yet another unprovoked attacked.
During this time, the
Mohammedans conquered Spain which remained under Islamic rule until
the Reconquista in 1492.
And so it continued...
Then, after 450 years of
unprovoked Islamic attacks into the West, Pope Urban II ordered a
Crusade in 1095, in part because of the request for help by Byzantine
Emperor Alexius I.
Historical
sidenote:
America's first war after it's War for Independence was waged against
muslims because of their unprovoked attacks on U.S.
shipping. President Thomas Jefferson ordered the assault on
Tripoli (1804) where the Marines won the day and gained the famous
line in their hymn "to the shores of Tripoli."
Islamic law comes from the
Koran and the Sunnah (the example of Islam's prophet Mohammed).
Mohammed - the perfect example of a man in Islam - slaughtered two
Jewish tribes and the remnants of a third at Khaybar, and instructed
muslims to wage jihad until the world is under Islamic rule.
The Crusades, on the other
hand, were a response to 450 years of Islamic attacks into the
West. There is no historical refutation of that fact.
Christian doctrine does not
define war as intrinsically evil, but allows for "Just War"
as a necessary action to restore just peace.
While there are examples of
Crusaders who committed atrocities during the two centuries of the
Crusades, they were acting contrary to Christian doctrine and the
teachings of Jesus and his Church.
"I have been made victorious through
terror."
Mohammed
(Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, 220)
"Love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you."
Jesus
(Matthew 5:44)
