Floransalı keşiş Ricoldus de Monte Crucis'in gözünden, 13. asır sonunda Anadolu ve Ortadoğu'nun panoraması. Kronik Kitap'tan.
I’m never saying Türkiye. I’m actually going to Anglicize it more by calling it Torkland.
By the time of the Crusades, there had already been a Muslim incursion so deep into France that the ensuing battle (Tours) was fought midway between Nantes and Paris. The Muslims owned Sicily. They owned Spain. They were deep into India. They weren't a peaceful retiring civilization happy to tend their gardens. In fact after the First Crusade, the Muslims continued to conquer, eventually taking down the Byzantines and all the Balkans. The First Crusade was an audacious and courageous strike against a force that the crusaders felt menaced all Christendom. Were they justified? That has to be determined by your own moral compass. But certainly they weren't just picking on the poor oppressed Mohammedans.
