THE CRUSADES THROUGH MUSLIM EYES

THE CRUSADES THROUGH MUSLIM EYES

The Crusades – 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 Mundiqh, Ibn Qalanisi, Baha-ud-deen, and many others.
