Basically, there would not have been wars between the Arabs and the Europeans had it not been for the intervention of a third party that attacked the Christian convoys, namely the Turks. They caused a long-term war between the Arabs and the Europeans, even though the Arabs did not attack the convoys, but rather the Turks. After that, the Turks weakened until the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, and the Arabs endured wars that they did not cause, so there was Freedom of expression between Christianity, Islam and Judaism without killing or bloodshed until the Seljuk Turks took Jerusalem and attacked the Christians. As a Middle Eastern Arab, I see that the war could have ended from the beginning if the Europeans agreed with the caliphate in Egypt in an alliance to defeat the Seljuk Turks and freedom of religion was restored. All three are as they were before the Turks arrived in Jerusalem. Basically, Saladin would not have attacked the Crusaders had they not attacked the Arab caravans heading to Mecca and Medina. Surely what mattered to you at that time was Jerusalem. What was the reason for the persecution of the Arabs and the Turks who persecuted the Christians and not the Arabs? What was the reason for attacking Mecca and Medina while they were under Arab rule? I am not saying that we, as Arabs, are currently afraid of Europe, but I am certain that if the Arabs of the Middle East and the Arabs of the southern Mediterranean united again, they would defeat the Europeans again, but now they are divided according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement and have occupied one of the Arab countries, which is Palestine. In fact, you can see that Britain increased the immigration of the British to Northern Ireland, so that the number of the British there increased, and they said their corrupt doctrine of freedom of opinion and choosing a ruler, and they divided Ireland in their favor. This also happened in Palestine, and they increased the immigration of Jews to Palestine and supported them with weapons, even though there was religious freedom for the three religions at that time, but there was not. Enmity between the Arabs and the Zionists at that time, until after they committed many massacres, such as the Deir Yassin massacre, to achieve their independence. It was the creation of a state based on blood, massacres, and crime, as happened to the Irish and they divided it into Northern Ireland and Ireland. Therefore, you will see more people who see the injustice to which the Palestinians were exposed, more even than the Arabs themselves, and they see what filth it is. The West does it for their benefit only. The United Nations and the League of Nations are games to achieve special interests for certain countries. Those who wanted the division of Ireland were not Irish, and those who wanted the division of Palestine were not Palestinians. Everyone knows that the League of Nations and the United Nations are tools to enhance the control and power of a particular country over the world and not as their noble goal and slogan.I know that I have written a lot, but there may be confusing information in the media that has reached any of you, and I will be happy to reveal the truth about the real crimes that many countries hide.I am sure that you benefited from information that you did not know

You conveniently omitted that the Muslims conquered the Levant (and Jerusalem) from the Byzantine Empire. And the reason why Alexios I Komnenos requested help from the Latin Christians was not just to assist with the reconquest of Anatolia from the Seljuk's but also the Holy Land. Therefore, the Crusades were a reconquest of invaded lands.

[@VanderCreol]

It seems like they've left that information on purpose. The reconquest of Christian lands was the main focus of the Crusaders.

[@alexboyer9337]

Although religiously you're right. It would be more accurate to say the latin crusaders conquered the greek byzantines former lands. Christianity had been in schism by about 50 years when the Latin knights considered Jerusalem.

[@baumholderh8425]

@@alexboyer9337yes and no. Later crusades, you would be correct, but the earliest crusade happened specifically because the Byzantine emperor requested aid.

[@TOKMAKCI_BASPAPAZ]

The Mamluks were among the very few enemies to defeat the Mongols in combat, and they were never conquered. The Mamluk institution had appeared in Islamic civilization in the eighth century as the Caliphs sought to create a military force that was loyal only to the Caliph and not to regional, tribal, or another personal ties. Most Mamluks were of Turkic origin, primarily because the Turks were viewed as better, or at least more natural, warriors than Persians and Arabs. Turks of nomadic origins possessed riding and archery skills from an early age, so that after purchasing them as slaves one only had to refine those skills. The Mamluks therefore became perhaps the most highly trained warriors in the medieval world. They seized power in Egypt in 1250 during the ill-fated Crusade of Louis IX (Saint Louis) and created a Sultanate that dominated Egypt and then Syria until the sixteenth century.

It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more.

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

It was Turkish military slaves, the Mamluks, coming from the Eurasian steppes, who were successful in stemming the deadly Mongol danger. Complete political, military, and, last but not least, economic power passed into the hands of this new Turkish ruling caste that regenerated itself anew each generation from the outside. It was seen as a sign of particular divine grace and providence that Turks had contained the Mongol avalanche. Turks knew the fighting techniques of their Mongol "cousins" from their common homeland in the steppes of Central Asia. The contemporary Syrian chronicler Abū Shāma rejoiced after the crucial battle of Ayn Jälūt in saying: "It is verily remarkable that the Tatars were broken and destroyed by their own kinsmen, the Turks." Paying his respect to the victorious sultan of Egypt, he continues in a couplet: The Tatars conquered the lands and there came to them From Egypt a Turk, unmindful of his life. In Syria he destroyed and scattered them. To everything there is a bane of its own kind. And the triumph of the Turks was compounded by the final expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land; one should notice the wording of a panegyric for Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil after he had conquered, in 690/1291, Acre, the last Crusader stronghold: Praise be to God, the nation of the Cross has fallen; Through the Turks the religion of the chosen Arabs has triumphed. The Crusaders had allied themselves to the abominable Mongols, the "vile foe," and had constituted a constant humiliation to Islam for almost 200 years. These exploits immensely enhanced the religious prestige of the Mamluks. The popula- tion of Egypt and Syria gratefully acknowledged their achievements. The folk novel of al-Malik al-Zahir Baybars gives abundant testimony to the general feeling of owing the Mamluks, that is, the Turks, thanks for saving them from an imminent catastrophe.

Christian Morocco, christian Algeria, christian Lybia were also at peace before the first muzlim invaders started the wars in these places.

Once the muzlims conquered these places including Portugal and Spain, they immediately spread slavery on a gigantic scale worse than the trans atlantic slavery (1500's-1800's).

How it could have been successful: - Christians should have been reasonably united - concentrate on Asia Minor to drive out the Turks - for this purpose enter into an alliance with the Greeks, Byzantines and Armenians - the Holy Land, like Israel today, lacks the strategic depth to be held - therefore, Byzantium must maintain good relations with Egypt - Egypt takes over the holy land, but assures Christians free pilgrimage and religious practice - once Asia Minor has been conquered, Byzantium and Egypt can fend off all attackers from the east together

Armenia played a gigantic role in the crusades, as a Christian nation

[@Trancymind]

Armenia is the first country/kingdom in the entire world to adopt and legalized the christian religion.

Might be that Persia was not majority Shia atte point of when seljuks conquered it, it was a demographic shift much later during the safavids

Those were days when there was no electricity no Machines , engines , neither there was a common educational system in fact only thing in which social competition can occur was political leverage so several players kept fighting with each other untill Renaissance when finally europe broke chains of religion on art and started great era of discoveries , scientific study and now we are living where people have several Avenues to engage in competition with each other 😊.

Please history of UK

[@anubratabit3027]

You could have also mentioned the fact that Crusader state governments were completely dominated by French immigrants. The Arabic word for white-skinned Western Europeans is Firangi, which in turn derived from the word Frank, as France was still xalled East Francia & the French still called themselves as Franks at that time. And that the French Catholics horribly mistreated the other non-Catholic Christian deniminations (Greeks & Arabs following Eastern Orthodox church, Syrians following the Miaphysite Syriac Church, Assyrians following the Nestorian Church, Armenians following the Armenian Apostolic Church). The persecution of non-Catholics by French Catholic foreign immigrants was the reason the Crusader staes didn't last long.

Are you telling me the crusades only ended because of Napoleon

[@maxtomlinson8134]

[@MohammedAymen-n8b]

Mamluk fatimid ayyubid mentioned 🇪🇬🦅🇪🇬

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

They weren’t part of your Egyptian history

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

Despite the persecution under al-Hakim's reign, Egypt remained mainly Christian, but Coptic Christianity lost its majority status after the 14th century. At the end of the Fatimid dynasty, Salah al-Din renewed discriminatory laws against non-Muslims, but there was little or no active persecution until the Mamluks came to power.
