The Crusades started in 1095.
What I'm talking about initially started in 636.
Okay.
And, you know, this is when I was talking about the complete ransacking of Christendom and the conquest of three quarters of it.
And lots of, you know, in one year alone, in the year 1009, an Egyptian caliph, according to Muslim sources, and people always argue with me, no, it's in the Arabic.
Okay.
And it's well known.
He supposedly destroyed 30,000 churches, which again underscores how Christian the Middle East was.
He destroyed them in Egypt and greater Syria, so basically the Middle East.
And he also razed to the ground the Holy Sepulchre, the original one.
And this is before the Crusades.
So, you know, and then and unfortunately, we get people like John Esposito, professor at Georgetown.
I've quoted this quote that he's written in one of his books.
I think Islam, the straight path so many times I've memorized it.
And he literally says five centuries of peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians elapsed.
before an imperial papal power play led to centuries of so-called holy wars that have left a legacy of misunderstanding and distrust.
In other words, before 1095, the first crusade, this is the narrative now by the academics, so many of them, and Hollywood, of course, is everything was fine, Muslims and Christians were living in peace, you know, when Muslims conquered three-quarters of the Christian world,
As I was saying, that was the time of peace until, you know, the the the popes and the papal power play ruined it all.
So that is the narrative.
And that's why I think it's very important to understand what led up the centuries that led up to the Crusades, which was as Bernard Lewis even put it pretty well.
