5:28 "it's a bird! It's a plane! It's the Seljuk Turks!" And no, you *cannot* make a religion out of this
*LMAO*
"AAH" said the byzantine empire, "we need help!" They need help so they called the pope.
So, they called the pope,
And came Europe
To the east and messed everything forever 🙂
@@Shariyar_Fahad Hey but atleast the Veniceins got some good trade deal!!
i find using a green M with the star and crescent symbol to represent Mohammed an amusing way to get around the whole "no showing the Prophet" thing.
Yeah it’s just a face thing really
@@zazzyboy8592 uP
How do you know that's not what he looked like?
@@aidanmagill6769 quite simple really: we only need to look at the Arabs today and we can extrapolate that this Arab Prophet looked like a bearded version of what an average Arab man looks like today
There is no "islamic symbol" as the rashidun era only had a plain white flag and a plain black flag. Everything after the rashidun era is dynastic rule, islamicate era, of which, Ottomans were the last, and the crescent and star was their symbol.
Amazing video!..... As a muslim from India where many religions thrive together.... We are really encouraged to gain knowledge of all religion to inculcate respect..... Saying one religious person hates someone from another religion is kinda weird for me since my few best friends are not even Muslims and I love to study all religions and their history....nice work with the video Blue!

It's people like you and I that will change this world my friend. Anyone who has faith yet is open minded are always welcome at my table. Please pass your knowledge, faith, and compassion on to others. I love studying other cultures and their beliefs. I feel that though this will we truly achieve peace and learn to understand each other.

Well, 80% of us are :)
Which is better than I anticipated, so yeah, go us!
I like how this happens a lot :)
Because they are educated people that are trying to get more information i guess
This channel has quickly risen to the list of my top favorite youtube channels next to Wisecrack, Strange Mysteries, and Cracked. Love the work on this channel.
you still alive... after this topic... good on you
Yea
Oooo this is super interesting! By the end of watching all of these context-within-context videos I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to plot the entire history of the Mediterranean better than I can my own country.
Watched prior videos to refresh myself on that historical context, just as sweet as you said. I always love the funny dialogue between empires and countries, can't wait to see the next videos!
I just want to say I've only recently found your channel and I absolutely love your content! I find history fascinating and your videos are just fab :0
Hey Blue, love all your work with history and stuff. Hope this comment will lighten up the comment section down here. Regarding to religion, i watched all 3 videos that you talked about earlier in this video then this. Let me just say that , wow. You spoke nothing but truth. Thank you. Though i can tell you aren't going to full on details for the sake of the religion war zone online, but i really appreciate how well spotted your facts are. As always, patiently waiting for your new videos (You and Red's too) :)
(btw im muslim, so you saying all this just made me smile from the accuracy ^^)
6:00 France: FAFF. Italy: More FAFF. Germany: Das FAFF. Brilliant :)
Thank u very much for taking the background music from age of mythology pc game's theme track. I've passed many many beautiful good afternoons & evenings of my childhood sitting before my dear-old computer that we had at our home. Suddenly hit by some sweet sweet nostalgia ❤️ good feeling memories of childhood. Thanks a lot.
I wish everyone would stop being so nervous about this, Religious history is REALLY COOL. Keep it up Blue; I am really looking forward to the next video
Fun fact: the official teaching of the Church (especially the Catholic tradition) from the days of the early Church, with regard to the treatment of the Jews under Christian rule is known as "Sicut Judaeis Non" (whereas of the Jews you may not) which ordered Christian leaders to respect the dignity and property of Jews and especially strongly prohibited a practice of "forcing" Christianity/Baptism on Jewish persons and families. Not uncommonly, the breach of these commands were penalized by rather severe ecclesial sanctions (normally automatic).
Unfortunately, though the Popes and some Bishops repeated the teaching quite a few times, the teaching wasn't always respected and many Jews suffered incredibly inhumane treatment and even massacred to death at the hands of those who ought to have known better if not by their natural disposition (moral law) also by their owed obedience to their spiritual leaders (Bishops/Popes).
Your point is very important. The popes regularly condemned the mass slaughters of Jews that took place in Europe during the crusades, it's just that a lot of people didn't listen.
Adque Yeah accounts of persecution did happen but to me this was a time where there was instability in Europe and the Catholic Church Tried to stop as much persecution as she can but you know human nature gets in the way.
Although the church also did a lot of bad things to the Jews as well, it wasn't just a one sided view point that never changed over time.
You're right but atleasts its not as bad as islamic rule
@@MrGamer-xd1pf i like Islamic rule
Love the video!! Would adore a little video about the Muslim Africans. Especially Mansa Musa. His older brother basically abdicated so he could lead an expedition to the West. He never returned. The empire was extremely wealthy. Mansa Musa is best known for bankrupting countries during his pilgrimage to Mecca because he was just throwing gold to people in the street during his journey. Such an exciting story!!!
Again LOVE the videos!!!
Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you! This is what we’re covering in AP world right now and I needed the extra help
Ooooooohhhh, Age of mythology music, nice choice, also good work on the topic, talking religion on the internet is walking on a mine field over an oil deposit over a volcano, so good luck with tha in future episodes
I must just give points for using, if I'm not wrong, Age of Mythology bgm (or something that's similar to it). Even if it's not intentional, it's still something that fits really well with the whole theme.
I will enjoy in the sweet delectable historical context, thank you.
I hear that Age of Mythology music...
Thanks for the video. Could you possibly share the script? I'd like to send it to an esl student, but the captions are way too fast at her level. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for all you do
Can't wait for the next two.
Will you be adding these various videos to one playlist when it's all said n done?
Finally a new vid!!
Are you playing 'Kiss From a Rose' on zitar (or something similar) in the background...😅😅
1 hour yey! I love you guys!
Man you could at least have mentioned that the reason for the first crusade was the seljuks killing pilgrims and exterminating christian cities but no, they were "tolerant"
Arturo Pastor most the first accounts from the holy land at that time actually at the period of the crusades did not report large scale persecution at that time. The pope(s) just wanted to build up fear of this so he could try to unite the European states and perhaps Eastern Rome as he was losing grip over European leaders of that time.
Arturo Pastor Yh and Seljuks were basically mongols
@@dickvanhorneater405 yeah basic horse lord nomad raider stuff,
omg plz post the crusades this week... i hav crusades for my annual history exam AND I CANT CONCENTRATE ON IT CUZ MY HISTORY TEACHER IS JUST FRIKKIN BORING AND STRICT! I learn nothing from her..... i wish u guys wud be my history teachers i swear >O
Age of Mytology soundtack, noice!
seariosuly loving the AoM music ^^
*Zoroastrians*
*Respect*
That's, uh, a bit of a stretch even at the beginning. Certainly happened, but it had a nasty tendency to fall away the moment things got unstable, and once you get to the Abbasids the persecution starts to get institutionalized. After their fall, they ceased to be dhimini and were reduced to the status of kafir, same as any polytheist.
the age of empire song damn...or was the age of mythology? I cant remember which but both are great
This was a bit short (well, it’s not « History Summarized » for nothing !). But a few words about the difference of treatment between Muslims, monotheists non-Muslims and polytheists under the first Caliphs would have been welcomed.
The “people of the book” (monotheists) undeniably paid more taxes. This is why the Umayyads didn’t want their conquered populations to convert: they would have collected less money from Muslim populations. In his book “Berbères, mémoires et identité", Gabriel Camps says that the Berbers were still getting extorted like non-muslims by the Umayyads, even though they had converted!
Also the conquered Buddhists and Hinduists weren't "monotheistic enough", therefore they had been massacred for a time and got their places of worship destroyed (see the conquest of the Indian subcontinent). Akbar the Great was more open-minded but his more pious descendants destroyed his legacy of tolerance and syncretism.
Blue's disclaimer is like spongebob trying to extinguish that fire
I think a few annotations as well as an outline of the history of the caliphates (basically just dates, territory and some of the most important events) would improve this video - I just get a feeling that it contains too much history in too little time.
That's a mistake I correct in tomorrow's video. I was a little too amorphous with time in this one and that's my bad.
I love that you used music from Age of Mythology lol
Hi Blue, great video, just a couple of things::
It would've been nice if you spoke more about the yearly Jihads that the Caliphates waged on Byzantine land also, and the conquest of the Iberian peninsula and the acts committed there, if you're gonna talk holy war you gotta mention the reconquista
You kept mentioning religious freedom in the caliphate, and I know where you're coming at, you're comparing it to the pogroms against the Jews in Europe, but I wouldn't call the caliphates policy "religious freedom" and more "religious subjugation".
The non Muslim subjects were firstly forced to pay a humiliation tax, called the Jizya (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya), in any case where a Muslim and another person of the book had an altercation the Muslim automatically had favour in the courts. They were, by all reasonable measures, second class citizens
It was actually extremely comparable to the Byzantine empire, which forced similar rules on its subjects, especially the Jews
Comparing this to Persia or even Greece before the Islamic conquests the differences are stark, where religious freedom and even atheism of a sort were tolerated, the latter still being a punishable offensive in Islamic countries today
As I said earlier, great video, just wanted to make it clear that religious freedom probably isn't a great term, maybe religious toleration would've been better
Tom Pearse acts committed there ? Dude it was one hell of a dumb before muslims took it and turned it into a great society in every aspect of civilization
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the tax less "humiliation" and more of a "get out of military" tax? You know, instead of being drafted into the military you pay the tax. Which, at least to me, sounds admiringly reasonable given the time period. Sucks a bit that the division of military or tax is made by religion rather than choice, but personally I'd rather see that my family pays a tax than someone in my family being forced into the military.
Then again, I'm Scandinavian and we are generally very tolerant towards taxes.
Helena Nilsson Yh and muslims payed zakat both party’s paid taxes but the non Muslims were exempt from the military so that is more than fair
Jizia wasn't a humilliation tax by any means. People of other religions could pay the tax instead of being drafted by the military and Muslims were already paying money to the government in the form of Zakat, which was *significantly* higher than the Jizia.
The tax was instituted because the state needed funding to protect all the people of different religion within it's boarders. People of other religions had the same protections so they were required to pay a tax as per their duties as citizens. This is the exact same social contract every nations-state engages in today with their citizens.
So non-Muslims didn't have to fight in the army, paid lower taxes than the Muslims, enjoyed all the benefits of your average citizen, and the freedoms of instituting their own religious governments within the Muslim boarders.
That's a pretty sweet deal the proof the people like living under these arrangements can be found in immigration patterns. Historically religiously persecuted groups like Jews and Unothadox Christians sects consistently left Christian Kingdoms to settle in Muslim land where they remained and prospered for centuries. Not to mention that the ancestors of these religious immigrants still live in these lands today.
The only reasons they came was because they were treated better in Muslims lands, much better than in Christians lands. If they were mistreated, they would never have come let alone settled there.
There is no historical evidence that the Jizya was 'humiliating' nor did it upset anyone. In fact it was more likely that people were much happier to pay the Jizya than live elsewhere were they were persecuted. The Jizya also had a Muslim variation that Muslims had to pay, but since Muslim law could only be extended onto a Muslim population (Yes, Sharia only governed Muslims - Canonical and Rabbinical laws were used for self-governing Christian and Jewish populations) Jizya was formed.
Thank you blue, for aiding me in my social studies class 😂
Oh gosh... This comment section is going to be a warzone - or a _crusade_, am I right? ;) Hah... I'm not funny.

1 Corinthians 1,12 and following;
"What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?"
It's been an issue since day 1, we knew it was an issue since day 1, and yet we didn't learn our lesson.
I count myself lucky that I learned it the easy way, by getting to know people that I can see as true brothers and sisters in Christ while also disagreeing with them on quiet a few theological issues.
Agreed by and large about the toleration under the Ummayads-Abbasids,however by the time of the Turkifications,it had kinda gone out,as while peoples of the book(christians,Jews and Mazdayanis due to the Zend Avesta0 indeed enjoyed these freedoms,others like Hindus and Buddhists in the east and a not incosiderable number of Berber polytheists faced much massacre and forced conversion.General thumb rule,the more further from Egypt and Baghdad you were on either end(Almoravids and Almohads in the west,ghaznavids and Ghurids in the East) the persecutions kept ramping up.
Oooooo, Crusades! Those will be fun! :D
At the end of the video, I was quite offended by the fact you marked Bulgaria as part of the Byzanthine empire, which it was not. Don't take this personally, but I kind of did.
I'm very sorry that you were offended. Several different resources and maps I used marked everything south of the Danube river as part of the byzantine empire in this specific time period (as well as others), and I'm loyal to my sources.
Additionally, this entry seems to definitively indicate a Byzantine presence in Bulgaria for a long span of time en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_conquest_of_Bulgaria (Yes, it's wikipedia, but it's quick and to the point)
I am terribly sorry about this, Sir! I am indeed at fault here, as I hastily jumped to conclusions! I got the impression that you were talking about a different time period and my bitterness got the better of me, since it's often the case in historical videos that Bulgaria is not included when it should be. Please, accept my apology, because I truly am sorry!
Haha, no worries. I can sympathize, as the Byzantine empire, in keeping with roman traditions, have wildly changing borders that depend as much on the direction of the wind as it does on political and military factors. And the fact that I didn't put accompanying years & dates in this video is very much my own fault for the confusion.
Most empires have the courtesy to expand and shrink in predictable patterns, but the Byzantine empire keeps shifting every one of its borders in every conceivable direction for its entire history.
Is that... Age of Mythology in the backround?
Ah, Nostalgia.
Noticed you used Age Of Mythology soundtrack
Kinda curious, in the Crusades video will the Northern Crusades against the pagan Prussians & Lithuanians get at least a passing mention? They're pretty overlooked outside Eastern Europe, despite being a key factor in the history of that region.
and you could say some very successful Crusades
2 out 3 is not bad

i made it. 4 minutes after it came out, and i'm... NOT EVEN THE THIRD PERSON HERE
anyone else hear that sweet age of mythology music?
me 😂😂💖
The caliphate was not pluralistic. It was Islamic. Non Muslims were "tolerated" because they paid more taxes - it was a needed cash flow.
As opposed to being murdered in Europe?
Holy shit, are you using music from Age of mythology? I'm super distracted by my nostalgia
I wish you'd talk about Zoroastrianism more.
How ironic is it that I had an exam in these topics just today? I probably failed lol.
Sugar coating the Islamic conquest, of course. Read "The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians and Jews under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain", by Dario Fernandez-Morera.
Yea, I don't know why so many RUclipsrs had to constantly point out "and everything went for all Christians and Jews under Muslim rule" That's like saying "everything went well for Jews and Muslims under Christian rule" because Jews and Muslims had also been living under Christian rule for centuries but nobody ever says it.
Here comes the most inflammatory comment of all:

Not to forget about the caliphate bringing medicine, maths as astronomy, basically science back to the dark ages of Europe :>
Yrvin the Dark Ages were a myth that arises out of the Enlightenment due to anti catholic and anti conformist philosophers and freethinkers like Voltaire etc. Europe was actually doing a great job really considering a collapse of centralized authority until the Age of Charlemagne
@@obiwankenobi6871 That's true, but we still lost a lot of Classical knowledge that was preserved and built upon by the Islamic world at the time. That's a lot of why the Renaissance even *happened,* and why it was so hyped-up about the classics.
Art was reserved to religion, anatomy was inaccurate because touching corpses was not allowed. That alone makes it dark
If you stop science discoveries
@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 That's sorta true, to an extent, but science and art didn't just halt. From Irish literary culture to the marvels of architecture to the (admittedly ill-intended) advancements in metallurgy that made the Industrial Revolution possible, the "Dark Ages" had a lot of light to them. Much was "lost" (or, rather, had moved eastwards) but much was gained too.
3:45 except all the slavery of Europeans and Africans by the Arabs...
except that slavery was a continous thing before and after the caliphate so don't make it look like the racist transatlantic slavetrade
Also the europeans kept practicing slavery until the 19th century, it just fell a bit out of fashion during the middle ages because they had developed serfdom(AKA slavery with extra steps), and this without mentioning the vikings(at least the arabs didn't disembowel thralls as human sacrifices) AND both arab and viking slavers looked like the Red Cross when compared to european slavers.
@@HerrMasterLizard wow, the Vikings doing human sacrificess by using their slaves? I'd deffinietly searched it up.
