Charles the Hammer. We owe a lot to this guy. I have liked him ever since i read about him as a teenager. One of the decisive battles fought at that time. One wonders look back over the centuries, if the victory is permanent.

One of the most important battles in the history of mankind. The next time you hear a Muslim apologist whine about the Crusades, ask what a Muslim army was doing in the middle of France. Charity work? Selling cookies?

Martel ended the Moslem conversions of Frenchmen to Islam.

As far as the invasion was concerned, it took another 760 years to get the Moslems out of Spain, and even then, the Moslems had already moved into Greece itself and were chopping up the Balkans by the early 1400s.

Most people in the West have no clue as to the role of the Church in the defeat of the Muslim in Europe. One vital role is to unite Christendom in order to handle these folks who are invading once again. Remember the two battles of Vienna...
