In the 11th century, almost a
thousand years ago, hordes of Christians warriors bearing a red
cross stormed into Syria. They journeyed from all parts of
Europe, pillaging and slaughtering innocent Muslims along their
way. They captured Jerusalem in 1099 leaving no mosque to pray
in, nor any Muslim alive. After a hundred years, with the help
of Allah, the Muslims struck back...
These were The Crusades.
Islamic legacy will take you back a thousand years to where it
all began. We relive an epic confrontation for the Holy city of
Jerusalem in the scorching deserts of the Middle East, between
the people of the cross and the Muslims.
'The Crusades through Muslim eyes', will be a two night
presentation that will draw upon the most notable Muslim
historians of the era including Ibn Athir, Usaman, Ibn Qalanisi,
Baha-ud-deen, and many others. Events will be analysed mainly
from the Muslims point of view, avoiding the blatant revisionism
the western historians have introduced.
This two day presentation will cover in detail the era of the
Crusades.
Topics include:
- Background to the Crusades
- How Jerusalem was lost by the Muslims
after centuries of rule
- How great heroes and leaders were raised who
fought back for the honour of Islam
- How key battles were fought including 'Hattin',
Salahudeens finest and most - glorious victory
with 3D animation
- Strategies and weaponry of the Muslims and
Christians. What made the Muslim and Christian knights
different.
- The impact of the Crusades on the Christians
and the Muslims
- Lessons we can learn and apply today
