Jihad vs Crusades  (Bill Warner)
Whenever you’re dealing with an apologist for Islam, or even a Muslim, and you bring up jihad, almost immediately, they kickback to you:  “But what about those terrible crusades?
Why they’re the moral justification for jihad and we’re just as bad as they are.
0:19
So let’s not talk about jihad, okay?
0:22
Let’s talk about the Crusades.”
0:25
Well, what I would like to talk about are facts.
0:28
It turns out I sat down and put together some work and
0:31
I created a database of some 548 battles that Islam fought:
0:36
jihad battles against classical civilization.
0:40
This isn’t even all the battles.
0:41
It really doesn’t say much about Africa and India, Afghanistan, and all that.
0:46
It’s primarily the battles against the classical civilization of Rome and Greece.
0:52
548 battles is a lot, and it’s too much to even comprehend.
0:57
So I created something which I call a dynamic battle map
1:00
in which you have a display of the Mediterranean and a white dot means
1:05
that in this twenty-year period, that’s a new battle.
1:07
So every time the screen changes its 20 year period,
1:11
White colors turn to red so you can see the history.
1:16
This may seem a little confusing, but I think when you see it you’ll know exactly what I mean.
1:20
Here it starts: Islam burst out of the Arabian Peninsula and immediately starts attacking the Middle East.
1:28
Notice that it doesn’t take long until they’re crossing the Mediterranean and
1:31
attacking southern France, and Spain.
1:35
Notice something else here.
1:36
When most people think of Islam, they think of Arabs;
1:40
they think of desert.
1:42
And yet here we see that Islam is projecting power throughout the Mediterranean.
1:47
Notice how the little islands of the Mediterranean are getting hammered.
1:51
The navy of Islam would attack coastal towns, kill, rob, rape, and then take slaves.
2:01
So this whole battle map, as it unfolds, you see slaves being taken.
2:06
Over a million slaves were taken out of Europe into the Islamic world.
2:12
It’s something you don’t think about much but it’s absolutely true.
2:15
There are over 200 battles fought in Spain alone.
2:21
We also see however on the East Coast in Turkey that Islam is trying to break into Europe.
2:30
Now what’s going to happen is in Spain
2:33
this ongoing fight that lasted for 400 years is the Christians are going to push back the Moslems.
2:41
But now then what is happened over in the East is that Constantinople is fallen
2:46
and now then Eastern Europe is getting hammered.
2:49
The jihad now comes to Eastern Europe.
2:52
It’s pushed out now of Spain, northern Africa is now completely Islamic,
2:57
and the Middle East is completely Islamic.
3:00
This is all jihad, relentless jihad.
3:04
And why is it so relentless?
3:06
Well, Mohammed was relentless in his jihad,
3:09
and these people are good students of Islam.
3:12
And so it’s (jihad) against the Kafir, on and on.
3:15
It was traditional that when the Sultan came to power,
3:18
the brand-new Sultan, he would immediately try to launch new wars,
3:23
because he was going to be noted in his Islamic history as to how well he fought against the Kafir.
3:31
So that’s what the jihad looked like over that time period: 548 battles.
3:37
But remember, when we bring up jihad, people want to bring up the Crusades.
3:41
So I also prepared a dynamic battle map of all the offensive raids of the crusaders.
3:46
Let’s watch it and make a comparison.
3:49
And so it begins: the Crusades enter into Turkey and the Middle East; battles go on.
3:54
But aren’t there far fewer than you thought there might be?
3:57
And here we go: the last battles are fought and that is the end of the Crusades.
4:04
So now we can talk about some facts!
4:07
Yes, there were Crusades.
4:09
But notice that they ended centuries ago, and jihad is being practiced today.
4:14
Jihad has been with us for 1400 years.
4:17
There is no comparison between jihad and the Crusades; certainly not a moral comparison.
4:23
And when we’re looking at the Crusades, remember,
4:25
in one sense all of the Crusades were defensive wars. Why?
4:29
As we saw in the first jihad map, it was Islam that came out of Arabia and conquered the Middle East,
4:35
a Christian Middle East.
4:37
And so the crusaders were trying to free their Christian brothers and sisters from jihad.
4:43
So there’s no moral comparison all.
4:45
The motivation of the crusaders was to free Christians; the purpose of jihad is to enslave the Kafir.
4:52
The next time you hear somebody talk about “Oh, those dreadful Crusades”,
4:56
you speak the facts about the matter.
4:58
Why don’t you pipe up and tell them, “You know, you don’t really know the matter.”
0:10
almost immediately, they kickback to you:
0:12
“But what about those terrible crusades?
0:15
Why they’re the moral justification for jihad and we’re just as bad as they are.
0:19
So let’s not talk about jihad, okay?
0:22
Let’s talk about the Crusades.”
0:25
