My Crusades notes:
-Crusades began in 1095
-460 years after the first Christian city was overrun by Muslim armies
-450 years after Jerusalem was conquered by Muslim armies
-453 years after Egypt was taken over by Muslim armies
-443 years after Muslim armies plundered the Italian peninsula
-427 years after Muslim armies first laid siege to the Christian capital of Constantinople
-380 years after Spain was invaded and conquered by Muslim armies
-363 years after France was first invaded by Muslim armies
-249 years after the capital of the Christian world, Rome itself, was sacked by Muslim armies
… all this after centuries of church burnings, enslavement, forced conversions, and killings of Christians by Muslims
By the time the Crusades began, Muslims had conquered 2/3 of the Christian world. The Crusades were a defensive movement. The Muslim world was not a “victim.”
Nice summary
Interesting that the Crusades were 460 years after Muslim first Muslim conquest.
God stayed His judgement on the Cannanites for about 400 years IIRC.
Of course here we are, 1000 years later and the Muslims are still here. And growing.
