In God’s Battalions, award-winning author Rodney Stark takes on the long-held view that the Crusades were the first round of European colonialism, conducted for land, loot, and converts by barbarian Christians who victimized the cultivated Muslims.
To the contrary, Stark argues that the Crusades were the first military response to unwarranted Muslim terrorist aggression. Stark reviews the history of the seven major Crusades from 1095 to 1291, demonstrating that the Crusades were precipitated by Islamic provocations, centuries of bloody attempts to colonize the West, and sudden attacks on Christian pilgrims and holy places. Although the Crusades were initiated by a plea from the pope, Stark argues that this had nothing to do with any elaborate design of the Christian world to convert all Muslims to Christianity by force of arms. Given current tensions in the Middle East and terrorist attacks around the world, Stark’s views are a thought-provoking contribution to our understanding and are sure to spark debate.

Amazing book. Thank you!

A valiant attempt at falsification of history, which fails just to the right of masturbatory religious fan fiction.
1/5 dead popes, not enough self-flagelation, no laugh track

It’s about time someone understands how it all started from about 620 A.D.
onwards with the so-called Islamic “fotoohat” plural of “Fath”, meaning CONQUESTS or SUBJUGATION in arabic; first the Arabian peninsula, next the near east, then Europe and the Far East …

This is a serious history book. I have a writen version also and for every presented statement authors offers a citation from a relevant scientific work.

Dinglebox never looked a freaking map prior to 600AD.
But he’s so passionate but so ignorant. Haha… Christophobes really are strange creatures.
Thank God for the French stomping the life out of those demons and saving the World of Men.

Thank you. The Retired History Professor like this one. It is accurate and ballanced. I am in the third chapter now and he call stupid bad guys and knucklehaeds dips and dufus without regard to their religion. There is enough stupidity for both religions (actually 4 religions) and enough valor and bravery on all sides.
Don’t forget we typically talk and know about 4 crusades, there were 11 and 7 of them took place in Norther Eurpoe.
So far so good and thank you for a good book.

“bad guys” lol??
There are no bad guys. Just people, tainted by bad ideas.
All religion is a bad idea (coming up with myths to explain the world), but before scientific revolution, it was kinda needed.. So selfish people wouldn’t go round killing people thinking they can get away with it if not caught.
Judging by how much these jesus butt buddies seem to like it, I’m going to guess it’s bias, xenophobic, and lays the foundation for some good ol’ fashioned christian neo nazis…
… lol the “case for the crusades” haha. It’s just a medieval murder spree started by paedophilic popes.
