THE ‘ARABESQUING’ OF CHRISTIANITY

CHRISTIANITY IN THE GOSPELS AND NEW TESTAMENT IS A PACIFIST RELIGION

WITH THE CRUSADES IT TURNS INTO ITS OPPOSITE

THE GREAT HISTORIAN SIR STEVEN RUNCIMAN SAID ‘CRUSADE IS A DIRTY WORD’

SIR STEVEN RUNCIMAN AT 87

‘CRUSADE’ IS A

DIRTY WORD

• MAHOMET 570-632

• HERETIC AND INFIDEL• A HERETIC IS THE ‘OTHER’, A DIVISION

FROM THE GROUP. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COULD CONDEMN A HERETIC, TURNING HIM/HER OVER TO THE SECULAR ARM TO BE BURNED AT THE STAKE.

• ONE COULD SAY THAT TO JEWS CHRISTIANITY IS HERESY, AND TO CHRISTIANS ISLAM IS HERESY.

• THE INFIDEL IS OUTSIDE ANY OF THESE GROUPS. BUT IN THE CRUSADES JEWS AND MUSLIMS WERE CONSIDERED BY CHRISTIANS AS INFIDELS DESERVING OF SLAUGHTER, THEIR SLAUGHTERERS EVEN RECEIVING THE ‘INDULGENCE’, BEING SAVED.
