This is exactly why there are thousands of different religions out there. So many people don't know the true historical facts and yet are ready to argue without knowing their history. The Catholic Church is the One and Only True Church created by Jesus Christ. Only the Catholic Church's history dates all the way back to Jesus's time and his apostles and disciples. The Great Siege of Malta where The Knights Hospitaller and other Catholic men 7,000 in number holding their ground as the Ottoman Turks wanted to take over Malta in order to take over Rome. Jean Parisot the commander of the 7,000 went to a Blacksmith and had a rosary put on the sword. They were able to hold off the 30,000 Ottoman Turks from taking over Malta and then Rome thanks to the grace of God and Mother Mary. -Referencing Father Donald Calloway's Talk in Idaho 2019.

About the crusades, my high nobility family was involved and contributed to the crusades. At this time, based in Venice under the Venetian Kingdom/realm. I am sure the Pope must likely utilized historical evidence from St. Augustine's era, concerning the sacking of Rome by a barbarian force lead by Alaric (410 A.D.), from an early form of 'Just War' doctrine. It derived from Augustine's viewpoint.
15:00 100,000 is an incredibly high figure, it's closer to 50-60 thousand, and by the time they got to Jerusalem, they only had around 12,000. I also heard you mention the 4th Crusade. That is just as misunderstood as the First Crusade, if you haven't done one on it, i think you should consider it.
That's a lot of sources. But some of the books are: The Crusades: A short Hiatory, by Jonathan Riley Smith God's Battalions, by Rodney Stark, a non-Catholic. Bearing Faler Witness, also by Rodney Stark The 7 volume work of Warren H Carroll, The History of Christendom (Vol. 2-4). The Real History of the Catholic Church, by Steven Weidenkopf

@@hachibidelta4237 "Siege of Antioch, (20 October 1097-28 June 1098). This marked the arrival of the First Crusade in the Holy Land. Events set a pattern of betrayal, massacre, and heroism that was to mark future campaigns. By capturing Antioch, the crusaders secured lines of supply and reinforcement to the west.Sometime during the winter, Bohemond made contact inside the city with a Christian soldier named Firouz, who had command of the Gate of Two Sisters. On 2 June, Firouz opened the gate, allowing the crusaders to enter and join the Christian inhabitants in a massacre of the Turks. Yaghi Siyan was killed but his son Shams held out in the citadel. Two days later a huge Turkish army led by Kerbogha of Mosul arrived and laid siege to the crusaders inside Antioch." - Encyclopedia Britannica Hmmm, Christians in a city teaming up with Crusaders to kill barbaric, raping, Turks is bad? And I haven't heard of any Crusade killing Roman citizens. Name, please?
@@acrusader.1801 the city was sacked and slaughtered by the crusader, it was majority Christian city. Melkites to be precise (Arabic/Aramaic Orthodox). The crusader couldn't tell the city was inhabitted by mostly Christians and kill them indiscriminately. They initially wanted to do the same with Nicaea but was prevented by Alexios. Also crusader forces basically ravaged their way through Hungary and Roman land. The villages surrounding Constantinople was raped and murdered during first crusade. Basically any subject of Alexios was Roman citizen, you didn't even know this?? Christians killing other human being is generally bad. Why is killing Muslim different than killing Christian?? Frankish barbarian are brutal slaughtering Antioch and Jerusalem. Burning villages surrounding Aleppo, isn't this barbaric?
Galileo's Daughter. We have several books by anti Catholics and atheists because we like to read and study both sides. We also find the flaws in them as well.
“Commodore” Alexius?! What does this even mean? The Alexius here being referred to is Alexius I Comnenus, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire (1081-1118). Prior to his accession to the Imperial throne of Byzantium he had briefly been a military commander, but “commodore”? - that is something altogether different...and even if this could be put down as a recurring slip, why refer to him as such when during the time of the First Crusade (1096-1099) he was already Emperor? This is just a minute sample of the striking historical inaccuracies and patent falsehoods with which this video is replete. The arguments presented simply do not hold up to even a basic understanding of the historical period in question. The chief motives for the Crusades were purely political, strategic, and economic. The religious fervour was only incidental - a convenient ideological pretext for the Roman Church to increase its wealth and to expand its power and influence eastwards at the expense of the “Schismatic” Eastern Roman Empire, and to check the rising power of the Seljuk Turks (who had occupied the Holy Land following their momentous victory over the Byzantine forces at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071).The call for a Crusade by Pope Urban II at Clermont (1095) was met with enthusiastic popular support among all classes in Catholic Europe, but was also a means by which many of the dispossessed and greedy Western robber barons, knights, and soldiers of fortune sought to gain lands in the rich East, and to carry on doing what they had always done best: plunder, rape, and kill - but this time, “in Nomine Christi” and with the full blessing of the Holy Father; because, you know...”Deus vult”...
Correct. This video and those who keep trying to defend the tragedies of the past to somehow validate their beliefs is odd. What next, the conspiracy behind pedophile priests and their complicit bishops? Video probably already out there

Can u please explain that about before the crusade started how the Muslims took the Christians land and countries and which countries were used to Christians
You are a great missioner of JESUS CHRIST TRUTH. I love the historical truth of Catholicism. Jesus Christ is a peaceful Servant leader, opposite to mohammed islam is a violent character. Now, islam is conquered by PRAYERS... ROSARY to this day.
I totally agree that nowadays people often take the crusades a bit out of context in order to make the church sound bad. But justifying it and claiming it was defensive is just not accurate. The Muslim world was very divided at the time. By the 1090’s the threat of Muslims expanding into Western Europe was long gone. And Christian pilgrims were allowed to come and go as they wanted. Nobody was keeping Christian’s from making their pilgrimage. But at least in the first crusade they killed just as many Christians than anyone else. Regularly ransacking christian cities. They even destroyed the Byzantine empire completely during the fourth crusade. Almost all of the crusades, even the successful ones, were a damn disaster. But that doesn’t say anything about the church today. Using religion to justify invading others was common for the time. But saying they were good or justified simply because your catholic and they make the church look bad doesn’t help anything
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The following are some of the corrections: 1. Jesus came on earth for violence not peace (Mathew 10:34) 2. Christianity was spread by sword, for example, Germany (Charlemagne conquest of Germania), wars against Poland, etc. 3. Crusades were against CHRISTIANS, pagans, Jews, etc. It was not just Muslims 4. The 1st crusade happened 500 years after the conquest of jureaslum by Muslims, it doesn't make the 1st crusade defensive but offensive 5. Pope urban 2 called for a crusade just for political power because there were 2 popes at the time and he wanted legitimacy. 6. The Muslim world was divided into many kingdoms, the video said that the islamic world was united. 7. Christians and jews living in Muslim lands were much better off. Orthodox were persecuted in western Europe, Catholic were persecuted in Byzantine empire, Jews were percecuted in both. If you read the speech of pope urban 2 (it has been documented, you might find it in the internet), you will discusted by the words he says (which were factually false). 8. In short, the 1st crusade was just a political stunt by the pope.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Crusades against Christians: 1. Crusades against byzantine empire 2. Crusade against Bosnia 3. Hussite wars The list goes on......
@@intranext1359 Read a few more lines matthew 10:34 and it was not just jureselam it was africa and then Jihading through europe which lasted for centuries before the 1st crusade. But I agree the crusades against the orthodox were a huge mistake and eventually condemned by the pope and it also lead to the downfall of the byzantine empire. Also ibn jubiya admitted the franks had the most just system despite his huge dislike for them.
@@vaderkurt7848 so if muslims want expansion it is wrong and a crusade should be called, but if Christians expand through europe, such as charlamamge, then it is right and should not be condemned. note: i am NOT talking about colonization, I am talking about christianity expansion before the rise of islam. I know there is context for the verse, I just wanted to explain that same applies to islam and people should stop calling islam as religion of violence.
You spent 11 minutes of the video setting up the Muslims as this terrible force of violence and oppression. To be completely honest they did some pretty messed up things and deserved to be criticized. Where I take issue is when u try to paint the Christians at the time as some peace-loving group who did no harm. When in reality they were just as bad. 3:23 The Christians DID NOT always spread their message through conversation. Just to name a few examples of mass forced conversions before the crusades: Theodosius and the pagans in 381, the massacre of Verden in 782 and the law "Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae" also in 782.
Yes they deserved some criticism but generally tolerant towards most other religions. The reason why it was sooo easy for them to conquer Syria, Armenia and Egypt was also the non-Chalcedonian nature of eastern Christians. Who actually enjoyed better autonomy than they did under Roman Empire who was Chalceodnian. Generally they actually prefer to have Muslim as small elite ruling class, and mostly didn't try to force their way to convert the population. It took Egypt 6th century or more to become Muslim majority for example. Western Christian literary point their sword like Charlemagne and the northern crusade.
@@hachibidelta4237that’s false. The Muslim world was never tolerant and there is no evidence, hundreds of thousands of Christians were enslaved with many more were subjugated to dhimmi status, that is not tolerance. That is subjugation through Islamic imperialism and authoritarianism, many Christians were killed and slaughtered, with women being raped and exploited as sex slaves by Muslim rulers, aristocrats and Islamic scholars. Archaeological evidence from North Africa in the region of Cyrenaica points to the destruction of churches along the route the Islamic conquerors followed in the late seventh century, and the remarkable artistic treasures buried along the routes leading to the North of Spain by fleeing Visigoths and Hispano-Romans during the early eighth century consist largely of religious and dynastic paraphernalia that the Christian inhabitants obviously wanted to protect from Muslim looting and desecration. When Amr ibn al-As conquered Tripoli in 643, he forced the Jewish and Christian Berbers to give their wives and children as slaves to the Arab army as part of their jizya. Around the year 666 C.E Uqba ibn Nafi “conquered the southern Tunisian cities, slaughtering all the Christians living there”. Muslim sources report him waging countless raids, often ending with the complete ransacking and mass enslavement of cities. One of the earliest reports comes from the Arab[10] chronicler Ibn Idhari in his Al-Bayan al-Mughrib. In it, Ibn Idhari describes the moment when Uqba reached the Atlantic Ocean, where he allegedly said: “O God, if the sea had not prevented me, I would have galloped on for ever like Alexander the Great, upholding your faith and fighting the unbelievers!" This is consistent with the Islamic imperialist tradition of jihad based on Surah 9:29-30, Sahih Muslim 22 and Surah 3:151. Additionally, the historian - Edward Gibbon states The fearless Akbah plunged into the heart of the country, traversed the wilderness in which his successors erected the splendid capitals of Fez and Morocco, and at length penetrated to the verge of the Atlantic and the great desert.... The career, though not the zeal, of Akbah was checked by the prospect of a boundless ocean. He spurred his horse into the waves, and raising his eyes to heaven, exclaimed: 'Great God! if my course were not stopped by this sea, I would still go on, to the unknown kingdoms of the West, preaching the unity of the holy name, and putting to the sword the rebellious nations who worship another gods than Allah’. In the early eighth century under the Umayyads, 63 out of a group of 70 Christian pilgrims from Iconium were captured, tortured, and executed under the orders of the Arab Governor of Ceaserea for refusing to convert to Islam (seven were forcibly converted to Islam under torture). Soon afterwards, sixty more Christian pilgrims from Amorium were crucified in Jerusalem. The martyrdoms of 48 Christian martyrs that took place in the Emirate of Córdoba between 850 and 859 AD are recorded in the hagiographical treatise, figures such as Saint Roderick was behaved brutally by Umayyad Muslims for apostasy. During the late 700s in the Abbasid Caliphate, Muslims destroyed two churches and a monastery near Bethlehem and slaughtered its monks. In 796, Muslims burned another twenty monks to death. In the years 809 and 813 AD, multiple monasteries, convents, and churches were attacked in and around Jerusalem; both male and female Christians were gang raped and massacred. In 929, on Palm Sunday, another wave of atrocities broke out; churches were destroyed and Christians slaughtered. Christians at all never faced tolerance, yes not all of them were massacred but that doesn’t imply that they weren’t persecuted. They were still persecuted by Islamic caliphates as they were subjected to second class citizens, those who resist were slaves with many women being sex Slaves and some were forced to marriage and thus abandoning their religion. In fact the Abbasid caliphate even utilised the Nestorian Christians to translate Greek and Roman works or they will be imprisoned, tortured or exiled for dismissing Islamic authority. Also comparing Charlemagne to those evil muslims is bluntly wrong and ignorant of history, while Charlemagne was involved in wars, it was no where near the large scale warfare that the muslims have committed. Charlemagne focused on reuniting Western Europe predominantly France, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg as part of the Carolingian empire to spread Christianity through peaceful conversions and trade, warfare happened because there were pagan Germanic tribes like the Nordic Vikings who constantly attacked and plundered their lands. Charlemagne was also a hero for leading the Carolingian renaissance along with his mentor, the early Medieval English polymath - Alcuin of York, who lead the Carolingian renaissance which was a revival of classical learning and a development of monasteries where the 7 traditional liberal arts (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, rhetoric, logic and grammar) were taught and studied by the clerics of Western Europe and the aristocrats, they preserved the classical works of plato, Cicero, Virgil, Lucretius, Ovid, Horace and Pliny the elder were preserved during the early Middle Ages as monasteries were places of constant vigorous study of these works and by copying down many manuscripts of these works, along with worship. Charlemagne may have been involved in war, but so as every great hero in history. No one is perfect, but Christians saved the west from Islamic imperialism and colonialism.
Sorry, Bryan, as much as you are needed in parishes, our local nice churches wouldn't accept you - too much controversial truth, way too much enthusiasm, and not enough jokes, trivia, safe comments, and feel-good banality. If only you were a bishop or cardinal ... wait ... you either wouldn't make it that far or would be sent to the country to minister to the birds, away from sensitive listeners. So, stick to what you're doing.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Too true, Bryan! It's like the house is on fire, and many clergy are "ho hum" - what a lovely day la dee da whereas I'm wondering, if shepherds really love their flock, they'll sound the alarm to get out of Hell (mortal sins, heretical lies and errors, etc.). I've been utterly perplexed for years even while storming heaven with countless prayers and mortifications. I know of a priest who was sent literally to the country because he spoke the truth about contraception and other foreign priests who've been silenced for their orthodox preaching. Suddenly they become needed in their home country. What a mystery? ;). Your YT channel offers some relief like water in a desert, but my heart goes out to the morally ignorant young Catholics who unwittingly contract immoral vices, feel guilty, can't face their guilt, and the quit the church with the many fallacious excuses underwrite they hide. As a result, there are scores of baptised pagans who become the devil's agents and often our opponents - so often due to cowardly shepherds. Trust me, I could go on. Thanks very much.
If you didn't see our Catholic Crisis video, we think you will enjoy it. No pulled punches: "Catholic Crisis" - ua-cam.com/video/vqXELuqqkmQ/v-deo.html
Does anyone not care to address the fact that he said "Muhammad FLEW to Medina from Mecca"? How did he fly? On a bird? On the wings of prayer? On a plane? Which wasn't invented until......
To be specific, he says that Christianity as a whole wasn't primarily spread by the sword in the first 600 years (around the time Muhammed started preaching). Witch is correct. Most Christians up to that point were a product of hard missionary work,... The few exceptions you have are, firstly just exceptions, and secondly mostly done by leaders who acted on own authority and not that of the church So yes, in that light, it is true what he says,...
Okay, so keep living like there’s no God. That’s basically what you’re saying. There is something called “the truth”, and many people live today claiming they believe in God but say and act like he’s not real. He is. He’s very real. The truth is real, and the Catholic Church holds to it whether you like it or not. The truth doesn’t need your approval. Just saying.
I'm a Roman Catholic from Palestine. Yes, the crusades helped us in Palestine, but I dont like how Islamophobic modern Christians are today. Yes, there was fighting between Muslims and Christians, but they generally still lived together in Palestine for centuries. Modern day Israel is causing more disharmony than any crusade has in the past.

About the crusades, my high nobility family was involved and contributed to the crusades. At this time, based in Venice under the Venetian Kingdom/realm. I am sure the Pope must likely utilized historical evidence from St. Augustine's era, concerning the sacking of Rome by a barbarian force lead by Alaric (410 A.D.), from an early form of 'Just War' doctrine. It derived from Augustine's viewpoint.
Extremely helpful 😊😊😊
15:00 100,000 is an incredibly high figure, it's closer to 50-60 thousand, and by the time they got to Jerusalem, they only had around 12,000.
I also heard you mention the 4th Crusade. That is just as misunderstood as the First Crusade, if you haven't done one on it, i think you should consider it.
Thank you. We haven't done one on The Fourth Crusade yet. So we do have an article on it on our website.

@@acrusader.1801 yes for the glory of God butcher Christians in Antioch and Roman empire
@@hachibidelta4237 "Siege of Antioch, (20 October 1097-28 June 1098). This marked the arrival of the First Crusade in the Holy Land. Events set a pattern of betrayal, massacre, and heroism that was to mark future campaigns. By capturing Antioch, the crusaders secured lines of supply and reinforcement to the west.Sometime during the winter, Bohemond made contact inside the city with a Christian soldier named Firouz, who had command of the Gate of Two Sisters. On 2 June, Firouz opened the gate, allowing the crusaders to enter and join the Christian inhabitants in a massacre of the Turks. Yaghi Siyan was killed but his son Shams held out in the citadel. Two days later a huge Turkish army led by Kerbogha of Mosul arrived and laid siege to the crusaders inside Antioch."

Hmmm, Christians in a city teaming up with Crusaders to kill barbaric, raping, Turks is bad?
And I haven't heard of any Crusade killing Roman citizens. Name, please?
@@acrusader.1801 the city was sacked and slaughtered by the crusader, it was majority Christian city. Melkites to be precise (Arabic/Aramaic Orthodox). The crusader couldn't tell the city was inhabitted by mostly Christians and kill them indiscriminately. They initially wanted to do the same with Nicaea but was prevented by Alexios. Also crusader forces basically ravaged their way through Hungary and Roman land. The villages surrounding Constantinople was raped and murdered during first crusade.
Basically any subject of Alexios was Roman citizen, you didn't even know this??
Christians killing other human being is generally bad. Why is killing Muslim different than killing Christian?? Frankish barbarian are brutal slaughtering Antioch and Jerusalem. Burning villages surrounding Aleppo, isn't this barbaric?

Galileo's Daughter. We have several books by anti Catholics and atheists because we like to read and study both sides. We also find the flaws in them as well.
“Commodore” Alexius?! What does this even mean? The Alexius here being referred to is Alexius I Comnenus, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire (1081-1118). Prior to his accession to the Imperial throne of Byzantium he had briefly been a military commander, but “commodore”? - that is something altogether different...and even if this could be put down as a recurring slip, why refer to him as such when during the time of the First Crusade (1096-1099) he was already Emperor? This is just a minute sample of the striking historical inaccuracies and patent falsehoods with which this video is replete. The arguments presented simply do not hold up to even a basic understanding of the historical period in question. The chief motives for the Crusades were purely political, strategic, and economic. The religious fervour was only incidental - a convenient ideological pretext for the Roman Church to increase its wealth and to expand its power and influence eastwards at the expense of the “Schismatic” Eastern Roman Empire, and to check the rising power of the Seljuk Turks (who had occupied the Holy Land following their momentous victory over the Byzantine forces at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071).The call for a Crusade by Pope Urban II at Clermont (1095) was met with enthusiastic popular support among all classes in Catholic Europe, but was also a means by which many of the dispossessed and greedy Western robber barons, knights, and soldiers of fortune sought to gain lands in the rich East, and to carry on doing what they had always done best: plunder, rape, and kill - but this time, “in Nomine Christi” and with the full blessing of the Holy Father; because, you know...”Deus vult”...

Then why were the Templars burned at the stake?
Wasn’t there a schism between Byzantium and Rome even before the threat of Islam?
Islam came about in the 7th century, and the Orthodox Churches broke away from the Catholic Church in the 11th century.
There was already differences, due to language mainly. Then there was issue with the papacy making their own things without ecumenical council, which was actually the reason why its hard to change Orthodox practices.

We Survived eastern romen persecution. Our Church Is Ancient And Strong. Prey for them
Yes pray for Islam!
I totally agree that nowadays people often take the crusades a bit out of context in order to make the church sound bad. But justifying it and claiming it was defensive is just not accurate. The Muslim world was very divided at the time. By the 1090’s the threat of Muslims expanding into Western Europe was long gone. And Christian pilgrims were allowed to come and go as they wanted. Nobody was keeping Christian’s from making their pilgrimage. But at least in the first crusade they killed just as many Christians than anyone else. Regularly ransacking christian cities. They even destroyed the Byzantine empire completely during the fourth crusade. Almost all of the crusades, even the successful ones, were a damn disaster. But that doesn’t say anything about the church today. Using religion to justify invading others was common for the time. But saying they were good or justified simply because your catholic and they make the church look bad doesn’t help anything
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️
What about crusades against Christians
Like what, for example?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial
The following are some of the corrections:
1. Jesus came on earth for violence not peace (Mathew 10:34)
2. Christianity was spread by sword, for example, Germany (Charlemagne conquest of Germania), wars against Poland, etc.
3. Crusades were against CHRISTIANS, pagans, Jews, etc. It was not just Muslims
4. The 1st crusade happened 500 years after the conquest of jureaslum by Muslims, it doesn't make the 1st crusade defensive but offensive
5. Pope urban 2 called for a crusade just for political power because there were 2 popes at the time and he wanted legitimacy.
6. The Muslim world was divided into many kingdoms, the video said that the islamic world was united.
7. Christians and jews living in Muslim lands were much better off.
Orthodox were persecuted in western Europe, Catholic were persecuted in Byzantine empire, Jews were percecuted in both. If you read the speech of pope urban 2 (it has been documented, you might find it in the internet), you will discusted by the words he says (which were factually false).
8. In short, the 1st crusade was just a political stunt by the pope.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial
Crusades against Christians:
1. Crusades against byzantine empire
2. Crusade against Bosnia
3. Hussite wars
The list goes on......
@@intranext1359 Read a few more lines matthew 10:34 and it was not just jureselam it was africa and then Jihading through europe which lasted for centuries before the 1st crusade.
But I agree the crusades against the orthodox were a huge mistake and eventually condemned by the pope and it also lead to the downfall of the byzantine empire.
Also ibn jubiya admitted the franks had the most just system despite his huge dislike for them.
@@vaderkurt7848
so if muslims want expansion it is wrong and a crusade should be called, but if Christians expand through europe, such as charlamamge, then it is right and should not be condemned.
note: i am NOT talking about colonization, I am talking about christianity expansion before the rise of islam.
I know there is context for the verse, I just wanted to explain that same applies to islam and people should stop calling islam as religion of violence.
You spent 11 minutes of the video setting up the Muslims as this terrible force of violence and oppression. To be completely honest they did some pretty messed up things and deserved to be criticized. Where I take issue is when u try to paint the Christians at the time as some peace-loving group who did no harm. When in reality they were just as bad. 3:23 The Christians DID NOT always spread their message through conversation. Just to name a few examples of mass forced conversions before the crusades: Theodosius and the pagans in 381, the massacre of Verden in 782 and the law "Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae" also in 782.
Yes they deserved some criticism but generally tolerant towards most other religions. The reason why it was sooo easy for them to conquer Syria, Armenia and Egypt was also the non-Chalcedonian nature of eastern Christians. Who actually enjoyed better autonomy than they did under Roman Empire who was Chalceodnian. Generally they actually prefer to have Muslim as small elite ruling class, and mostly didn't try to force their way to convert the population. It took Egypt 6th century or more to become Muslim majority for example.
Western Christian literary point their sword like Charlemagne and the northern crusade.
That’s whataboutism
@@hachibidelta4237that’s false. The Muslim world was never tolerant and there is no evidence, hundreds of thousands of Christians were enslaved with many more were subjugated to dhimmi status, that is not tolerance. That is subjugation through Islamic imperialism and authoritarianism, many Christians were killed and slaughtered, with women being raped and exploited as sex slaves by Muslim rulers, aristocrats and Islamic scholars. Archaeological evidence from North Africa in the region of Cyrenaica points to the destruction of churches along the route the Islamic conquerors followed in the late seventh century, and the remarkable artistic treasures buried along the routes leading to the North of Spain by fleeing Visigoths and Hispano-Romans during the early eighth century consist largely of religious and dynastic paraphernalia that the Christian inhabitants obviously wanted to protect from Muslim looting and desecration. When Amr ibn al-As conquered Tripoli in 643, he forced the Jewish and Christian Berbers to give their wives and children as slaves to the Arab army as part of their jizya. Around the year 666 C.E Uqba ibn Nafi “conquered the southern Tunisian cities, slaughtering all the Christians living there”. Muslim sources report him waging countless raids, often ending with the complete ransacking and mass enslavement of cities. One of the earliest reports comes from the Arab[10] chronicler Ibn Idhari in his Al-Bayan al-Mughrib. In it, Ibn Idhari describes the moment when Uqba reached the Atlantic Ocean, where he allegedly said: “O God, if the sea had not prevented me, I would have galloped on for ever like Alexander the Great, upholding your faith and fighting the unbelievers!" This is consistent with the Islamic imperialist tradition of jihad based on Surah 9:29-30, Sahih Muslim 22 and Surah 3:151. Additionally, the historian - Edward Gibbon states The fearless Akbah plunged into the heart of the country, traversed the wilderness in which his successors erected the splendid capitals of Fez and Morocco, and at length penetrated to the verge of the Atlantic and the great desert.... The career, though not the zeal, of Akbah was checked by the prospect of a boundless ocean. He spurred his horse into the waves, and raising his eyes to heaven, exclaimed: 'Great God! if my course were not stopped by this sea, I would still go on, to the unknown kingdoms of the West, preaching the unity of the holy name, and putting to the sword the rebellious nations who worship another gods than Allah’. In the early eighth century under the Umayyads, 63 out of a group of 70 Christian pilgrims from Iconium were captured, tortured, and executed under the orders of the Arab Governor of Ceaserea for refusing to convert to Islam (seven were forcibly converted to Islam under torture). Soon afterwards, sixty more Christian pilgrims from Amorium were crucified in Jerusalem. The martyrdoms of 48 Christian martyrs that took place in the Emirate of Córdoba between 850 and 859 AD are recorded in the hagiographical treatise, figures such as Saint Roderick was behaved brutally by Umayyad Muslims for apostasy. During the late 700s in the Abbasid Caliphate, Muslims destroyed two churches and a monastery near Bethlehem and slaughtered its monks. In 796, Muslims burned another twenty monks to death. In the years 809 and 813 AD, multiple monasteries, convents, and churches were attacked in and around Jerusalem; both male and female Christians were gang raped and massacred. In 929, on Palm Sunday, another wave of atrocities broke out; churches were destroyed and Christians slaughtered. Christians at all never faced tolerance, yes not all of them were massacred but that doesn’t imply that they weren’t persecuted. They were still persecuted by Islamic caliphates as they were subjected to second class citizens, those who resist were slaves with many women being sex Slaves and some were forced to marriage and thus abandoning their religion. In fact the Abbasid caliphate even utilised the Nestorian Christians to translate Greek and Roman works or they will be imprisoned, tortured or exiled for dismissing Islamic authority. Also comparing Charlemagne to those evil muslims is bluntly wrong and ignorant of history, while Charlemagne was involved in wars, it was no where near the large scale warfare that the muslims have committed. Charlemagne focused on reuniting Western Europe predominantly France, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg as part of the Carolingian empire to spread Christianity through peaceful conversions and trade, warfare happened because there were pagan Germanic tribes like the Nordic Vikings who constantly attacked and plundered their lands. Charlemagne was also a hero for leading the Carolingian renaissance along with his mentor, the early Medieval English polymath - Alcuin of York, who lead the Carolingian renaissance which was a revival of classical learning and a development of monasteries where the 7 traditional liberal arts (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, rhetoric, logic and grammar) were taught and studied by the clerics of Western Europe and the aristocrats, they preserved the classical works of plato, Cicero, Virgil, Lucretius, Ovid, Horace and Pliny the elder were preserved during the early Middle Ages as monasteries were places of constant vigorous study of these works and by copying down many manuscripts of these works, along with worship. Charlemagne may have been involved in war, but so as every great hero in history. No one is perfect, but Christians saved the west from Islamic imperialism and colonialism.

Sorry, Bryan, as much as you are needed in parishes, our local nice churches wouldn't accept you - too much controversial truth, way too much enthusiasm, and not enough jokes, trivia, safe comments, and feel-good banality. If only you were a bishop or cardinal ... wait ... you either wouldn't make it that far or would be sent to the country to minister to the birds, away from sensitive listeners. So, stick to what you're doing.
Unfortunately, many churches are like this. It's really sad, and a disservice to our teens, and we wonder why they don't come back to church.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Too true, Bryan! It's like the house is on fire, and many clergy are "ho hum" - what a lovely day la dee da whereas I'm wondering, if shepherds really love their flock, they'll sound the alarm to get out of Hell (mortal sins, heretical lies and errors, etc.). I've been utterly perplexed for years even while storming heaven with countless prayers and mortifications. I know of a priest who was sent literally to the country because he spoke the truth about contraception and other foreign priests who've been silenced for their orthodox preaching. Suddenly they become needed in their home country. What a mystery? ;). Your YT channel offers some relief like water in a desert, but my heart goes out to the morally ignorant young Catholics who unwittingly contract immoral vices, feel guilty, can't face their guilt, and the quit the church with the many fallacious excuses underwrite they hide. As a result, there are scores of baptised pagans who become the devil's agents and often our opponents - so often due to cowardly shepherds. Trust me, I could go on. Thanks very much.

Christianity wasn't spread by wars, harsh words, or anything bad??? I guess this guy never heard about the Holy Roman Empire???
To be specific, he says that Christianity as a whole wasn't primarily spread by the sword in the first 600 years (around the time Muhammed started preaching).
Witch is correct. Most Christians up to that point were a product of hard missionary work,...
The few exceptions you have are, firstly just exceptions, and secondly mostly done by leaders who acted on own authority and not that of the church
