I can’t even fathom how you could connect these brutal massacres, with religion. What part of “wading through the cities holy sites knee deep in blood” sounds ethically correct? What part of anything they did was morally correct? What it sounds like to me is

  • Response of the Jews to Crusader Attacks

    Response of the Jews to Crusader Attacks

    Response of the Jews to Crusader Attacks When Pope Urban II gave a rousing speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095 that urged western Christians to aid their Byzantine brothers in the East and to retake the Holy Land, it is safe to say that the Jewish communities at Speyer, Worms, and Mainz were unconcerned. These communities in the Rhineland were not terribly close to Clermont, France, but news of the planned Pilgrimage probably

  • A Concise History of the Crusades

    A Concise History of the Crusades

    Justin Charles Laffer History 115-W The history of the Crusades in Europe and the Middle East must first be linked first and foremost to the feudal nature of medieval Europe. Due to the splintered and divisive nature of kingdoms and principalities, the sense of European and Christian identity was severely compromised.

  • The Crusades Resulted in a Polarisation of the East and the West

    The Crusades Resulted in a Polarisation of the East and the West

    The Crusades resulted in a polarisation of the East and the West and an increase of intolerance between Christians and Muslims, Christians and Jews, and heretics and pagans (Cartwright). Pope Urban II created the fantasy that people different from the christians were against them and gave a reason for killing them and treating them differently. This mentality is still alarmingly present in today’s world. The Islamic American community is a great example of such prejudice
