  • In November 1095 the Pope, Urban II, held a speech at the Council of Clermont, calling for a war of liberation.
    The war was to be waged by volunteers who vowed to fight.
    By calling all Christians to war against the Muslims, so that they could help defend the Byzantine empire and potentially reclaim the Holy Land, he gave rise to the Crusades.

      #1 Jerusalem fell to the Rashidun Caliphate more than four hundred years before the First Crusade.
      #2 until the Byzantine-Seljuq Wars the conquest of the Levant was in no way more brutal than any other conquest of the period, the Jizya system put in place by the Rashidun Caliphate was frankly better treatment than religious minorities could expect in Europe during the same period.
      #3 The First Crusade was instigated by Emperor Alexios Komnenos almost exclusively to stabilize his position as Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, when the "Princes Crusade" arrived at Constantinople he made sure that each of the principal commanders of the Crusade agreed to return all formerly Byzantine territory to the empire (which largely happened until the Siege of Antioch).
      To renderer the Crusades down to a binary Christian VS Muslim series of events removes the fact that all of the major players were leaders of their respective states and had concerns other than faith. This line of thinking also excludes the Crusades launched against European Pagans, and other Christians (The Serbian Crusade , The Hussite Wars, the Albigensian Crusade ect).

      Judaism is a religion, not a race. Racial identity means nothing to religion whether it be Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. What is true is that Palestinian Muslims have 0 claims to Jerusalem since Muhammad was a warmonger who conquered Jerusalem, was a slayer of all who did not convert, desecrated Jewish and Christian holy sites alike, and preached violence against all who do not obey him. What is also true is that Muslims are allowed in Jerusalem and Israel and they live very well off in Israel as compared to Palestine. Palestinians are also subject to widespread oppression from Hamas and its leadership in the Gaza Strip.

The people that charged out yelling ‘DEUS VULT’ were no more retarded than the people that believe politicians today when they say ‘I will change things for the better’ and are then surprised when they ruin everything as soon as they get into office.

      Early Islamic Invaders: like Muhammad Bin Qasim, Mahmud of Ghazni completely cleared Afghanistan from Hindus. Millions were killed or converted by sword. The region came to be called as Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter. Mahmud of Ghazni also killed around 50000 inhabitants of Somnath temple.
      Mughals: All of them were killers. Even the so called secular ‘Akbar the Great’ ordered a general massacre of 30,000 inhabitants after he captured Chittor in 1568.
      Delhi Sultanate and invaders like Timur: All of them wiped out Hindu temples and constructed Mosques in their place after killing all the Hindu population. Timur even said “they said that on the great day of battle these 100,000 prisoners could not be left with the baggage, and that it would be entirely opposed to the rules of war to set these idolaters and foes of Islam at liberty.”

    The Holy Bible May preach peace, but when it is Christendom itself that is threatened, then it is every Christian’s duty to defend all that is holy. His Holiness the pope has called a crusade to reclaim the Holy Lands from the infidel who would deny Christian pilgrims their right to visit the holy places. It is time for the armies of Christendom to put aside their differences and unite under one banner, the sign of the cross, and give back to God’s children what is rightfully theirs. Or die trying.

      HendrikdePendrik Religion tends towards violence once it gains power and authority. Early Christians, for example, were quite pacifistic in the face of persecution. Christianity by the schism was a quasi-governmental body, and had significant sway over European politics, warfare includes.
      I cannot speak authoritatively on Islam, but the present day theocratic Islamic governments use their religious authority in a similar way to how medieval European kingdoms used the Church’s authority in politics and war.

    I always had a feeling that Urban wanted to unite Europe from their infighting by the reminder they are Christians. As a Muslim the crusades always is an interesting topic considering most of time I see the European perspective and I think it is important to look at all aspects of an historic point or event. Funny enough the caliphate had the same problems of infighting with the Sunni majority and the Shia from the east had clashed a lot, I feel like a fact like that should be taken into account as the time I talk to others about the crusade many get the misinterpretation of Muslim unity.

    Thanks for your unbiased story of these events. 👍 It's a period often distorted in popular culture and history. 😕

    the animation of these episodes are 2/10 at best, but the narration, explanation and quality of everything else makes it a great quality channel.
