Amen. And don't forget the Battle of Lepanto. Tired of people today trashing the Crusades and Crusaders. They fought for what they believed in and most of them sold property and exhausted what they had to fight for Christendom. It's very fashionable to dis them today but most people I hear doing this have no idea of the history of the Crusades. God Bless those who fought for what they believed in.

@@tchitcho5169 Saladin is not considered as one of the 10 greats general of all times by military historians. One of the reasons is that Saladin was was quite good at running away. For example after the battle of Montgisard were Saladin's army was destroyed by Balduin IV of Jerusalem or after the battle of Arsuf, where Saladin's army was destroyed by the crusader army under Richard I Lionheart of England. Saladin had the fortune that all his more comptent enemies died before him (Balduin IV / Nur al Din) or had to leave the holy land because of troubles at home (Richard I). In that regards he was like Philippe August of France who also managed to survive all more competent enemies. (Henry II and Richard I of England) and won against a incompetent leader (John without Land)

Funny how the followers of Ishmael and Isaac have been fighting over 2 centuries and have not found the way of peace. One professes to follow a Saviour who was forgiveness, love and peace , yet lusts for the battlefield even with citizens of their own country. Wonder what Abraham would say today. Maybe sending Ishmael away caused a rift that will never be conquered because they never learned to live as brothers. I think the last verse sums up humanity pretty well, the only Wiseman is the fool.

I think you may have missed the point of the line. You'll notice it was spoken by The Fool. I think the implication is that the fool has an overly romanticized view of the crusades. The message of the song, I think, is that war has always been evil, for the same reasons as today. The choruses, "I am the king" vs "God is our king," reflect two different worldviews - one of self-worship, on the part of Saladin, and one of religious fanaticism, on the part of the crusaders. Obviously these are not historically-accurate portrayals of the figures involved, but fictionalized to make a point as a sort of a parable. The song of the crusader is still with us, the song is saying - but it was always one of greed and evil. Alternatively, one could argue that the claim of greed and evil is false, and that a noble song of the crusader is still with us. In either case, don't listen to the Fool - he's wrong.
@TheOneAndOnlyMrTino5 ай бұрын
It depends on whether you see the fool as a fool or a jester. Often, the fool is employed as a proto-stage to a wise man or wisdom as such. Or a sharer of unexpected insight. Moreover, don't ignore the juxtaposition of wise man - fool. The stanza further explicitly contrasts the wise man's search for truth in the past, whilst the fool pragmatically looks at the present. And remarks that the wise man's desire and life's work to reproduce what got enemies together nowadays is impossible due to a lack of purity, taken over by greed and evil. I personally don't see a trace of your reading if you respect the archetypal uses of wise man and fool. I guess we can agree it's an intriguing lyrical presentation and a lot of food for thought:)
@ManFromThePits5 ай бұрын
@@TheOneAndOnlyMrTino This is true! However, I would argue that first, there was never purity (supported by preceding verses, in which the crusaders are presented as violent religious fanatics), and second, a lack of purity does not imply a lack of goodness. Due to the apparent naivete of the fool in this stanza, I would argue that he is not a jester, but is in fact a fool. The wise man is a hopeful figure, imagining that, and I quote, "could it be that way again?" Depending on your interpretation of the preceding verses, he might be considered naive in his belief in the nobility of the crusaders, or just idealistic. Either way, he is looking for solutions and hope, while the fool just dismisses the past and its ideals as dead, while the present is hopeless - a very nihilistic, and in my opinion, foolish position to take. Yes, there are greedy and evil men fighting today, but so were there in the past, and while Jerusalem may be lost, the song of the Crusader need not be, for there are also still good men fighting today, sometimes on the same side as the evil ones. TL;DR: You made an important point about the symbolism of the fool. However, looking at the larger context of the song, I suspect your interpretation may be mistaken.

Look at the Battle of Tours, for example, and the conquest of Spain and the attacks on the Italian peninsula. You who are so liberal and hip, you better thank God for what the Crusaders did. If it hadn't been for them, for men before then like Charles Martel, for the Knights of St John who fought the battle of Malta after the Crusades and for the victory of Christendom at LePanto, you wouldn't be having a free debate. You'd be under sharia law and bowing to Mecca. May God Bless the Holy Crusaders! Thank you for your sacrifice and your service!!!!

john therealstig The sad thing is you probably patted yourself on the back when you wrote this thinking how it would really get me. I find your comment....sadly amusing...I'll bet if you are honest with yourself you'll admit you've never read any real history about the Crusades. You're parroting the same nonsense without any backing or documentation. I'm sure someone just told you this and you just, well, believed it with the deep mind you obviously have. You poor sap. I hope when Shariah law finally descends on you you'll enjoy yourself. And stand your non-Christian ground.

Jack Sprat "You're parroting the same nonsense without any backing or documentation." ha ha ha very good coming from a thesist your god is imaginary and even if he were not doesn't your 2000 year old book tell you to practise love and understanding? luke 16.31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. You as a believer are a far higher risk of "Gods" wrath for not practising his laws, so presumably now we have identified your sinning you will be looking forward to your stay in hell? To recap You based on 1 comment from me have judged and condemmed me very very christian of you, i am poor sap, dishonest and uneducated. When you freaks start practicing what you preach the world will start to take you seriously (well probably not)

john therealstig I will pray for you. You are a poor sap. I didn't say you were uneducated, just that you had not read about the Crusades. You just proved my point. All you have done is attacked me for believing in God and at the same time you quote scripture. How many faces do you see in the mirror?

Jack Sprat What you said was a clear arrogant and judgmental attempt to demean me and ergo boost your own flagging belief through an assumed intellectual superiority in none believers. You said "believed it with the deep mind you obviously have" incredibly arrogant sarcastic and judgmental comment from you. Its time to practice what you preach. What right do you have to be so judgmental of me? Do you have the right through your belief?

"How can something be lost if it was never found?" Is the feeling this song gives me now after so long, I guess I am one of the strange people, not even 20 and I love Chris DeBurg, I listen to all sorts, but he will always have a special place in my heart. But now I can't listen to this song the same way I used to -in blissful ignorance. It once was a beautiful story, but now I see none of them deserve what they call 'Jerusalem'. But Chris is truly an artist. This song only reaffirms it. c:

"What do I do now?" said the wise man to the fool, "I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule, Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains, Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?" Then the fool said "Oh you wise men, you really make me laugh, With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past, There is only greed and evil in the men who fight today, The song of the Crusader has long since gone away.................................................................

There is good and bad in everyone, this song shows the struggle WE all go through. I'm sorry but I no longer believe in a religion. I do my best to never hurt anyone, religion is a twisted version of a true life, How can a person hurt another. We should be working together. Imagine the results, global peace, and major scientific advance. So many genius people chained to a idea that was thought up centuries ago. Before the right for free thinking.
