  • The above clips are excerpts from the lectures by Dr Roy Casagranda that shed light on two contrasting historical accounts of the conquering of the City of Jerusalem. The full lecture links are provided below. The purpose of the video is to encourage viewers to reflect on the exemplary and a humane leadership of the Muslim rulers thats deliberately ‘left out of the history books’. #reflekthistory.

    That might be the single most moving, profoundly beautiful story I've ever heard. I'm almost crying. I've never been religious - I'm technically baptised Catholic but I'm English and... well, we aren't a religious bunch. But the sheer beauty of Umar ibn al-Khattib's character cut straight through to me. It took a man of Islam to show a man of Christianity just how low they had fallen in the holiest city in the world. Imagine thinking that you're bringing the religion of Abraham to its highest stage, retaking that city, and when you get there the Christians have massacred the Jews and turned the Holy Mount into a garbage dump... And yet that's the 'dark ages', apparently. Maybe for us Europeans...

May Allah gives us hadayat. May we fight the evil and respect the innocent. May the Muslims in Jerusalem find peace in the bloody massacre. May the Muslims of Kashmir and India find relief from Hindu Hatred. May the victims of Burma gets the sympathy of their government. May the Uyghurs get the freedom they deserve. May the peoples of Iraq Iran Pakistan and other countries resolve the matters within their country so they can help Muslim world. May the middle eastern Arabs wake up to reality and swallow the arrogance they have because of the wealth they were given as a test.

    So these narrations of history are being deliberately hidden to keep perpetuating a dark image of Islam. Unfortunately, even some, no. A lot of Muslims in this day and age are unaware of these beautiful and human stories in the history of Islam. This is my first time of coming across this Dr. Casagranda who went on with his lecture beautifully to an almost empty class and I say a big kudos to him. These truths need to come out more.

You think it's ok to kill Muslims who decide they don't want to be Muslims anymore. You go insane if someone draws a picture of your pedophile prophet.

      Christians don't need to conquer Jerusalem because it had been under Romans. And Romans became Christians. And they became part of Byzantine christian. Stop telling lies as if Muslim invaders of christian lands went to these lands for a vacation. No one will believe you. From the records of Byzantines, Muslims invaded Byzantine Palestine. You were so cruel with Jews and Byzantines. You are fooling no one. Stop demonizing christians as muslims were the ones invading. Christians just got back their lands that you took from them. Most middle east were christians as well as the Iberian, North Africa, Ethiopia, Nubia, even Persia there were significant number of christians. You also invaded Zoroastrian Persians. Stop spreading your lies!

      Funny because I am for certain that guy in the video is employed in an educational facility.
      You really don’t need to hear this specific story to learn how the Europeans raped every country they had an interest in or came into contact with for any agenda imaginable.
      On that note, the muslims in the ottoman times may have been more understanding towards christians and other minorities like jews, at least more than their fellow christians in some instances.
      But the muslims have fallen from grace as well. Compared to Christianity and Judaism, Islam is quite young and therefore did not have as much time to be corrupted by our human nature. Which is why it might have seemed like the more human or well behaved side in medieval times. But in time we will have all abandoned our spirituality and fear of god. And not just in recent times!
      Whenever a man loses his fear of god that will bring to him the idea that we ourselves are judge, jury and executioner in this world. From then on everything went into a spiral of drug abuse, money and clout chasing as well as chronic depression. (Edit: as you can imagine, all of those are catalysts for war and crime against other humans)

So people who don't like religious history, they have to learn it no matter if they are religious or not because it is human history and billions of people practice various kinds of religions daily and you have to at least to some degree learn it enough to be respectful and decent so everyone can exist in harmony. Almost everyone is capable of malicious or evil, cruel actions and only their personal free will is holding them back from committing such acts and that free will must be strengthened by doing the shit you don't like and be stoic about it.

That is why Sophronius decided to surrender Jerusalem to Omar rather than see it destroyed and plundered by the Muslim forces. 😁

    The legacy of Omar ibn el Khatab is one of the most beautiful. To know that he was one of the biggest enemies and hated islam at the start, but became one of the greatest leaders of thr many leaders of Islam to spread the word of the one true God. I learnt many like this as a young child. When u learn in depth its beautiful and makes u understand the world as it is moves through time better, and humanity with all its trials and tribulations, its good and bad, and its strive for betterment.
    It saddened me when i moved to the west to see none of this was taught in schools. Only thing u hear about islam is the media’s version and all the twisted narratives, but its only when one truly delves into it, abolishing any biases it holds that one sees smthg they were never told. I went to Catholic school,run by nuns in Egypt. I learnt more at that school then i ever did here, i used to go to the libraries to dive deeper into history. Another wonderful memory for me…a true geek at heart ☺️

Umar ibn Al-Khattab was a true leader in every sense of the word. Humility combined with an incredible strength. Commitment to his faith and spreading the message in a way it should be spread, with compassion for humans and with their best interest at the core. Imagine, how different today's world would be if the so called leaders had just an ounce of Umar's character and faith.

      Fun fact. The early Muslims were fierce and ruthless warriors and would have plundered and destroyed Jerusalem as they were doing elsewhere. Sophronius knew this. He also knew that Omar wanted Jerusalem and the Temple Mount because of Muhammad's flight there on Buraq. That is why he insisted on surrendering to Omar and no one else. 😁

    • @mrrangard
      @mrrangard 2 роки тому

      @David Zack typical Christian that spews lies. Here's the true story that Christians and Muslim scholars have deemed correct regarding UMass conquest of Juresalam:
      During the period of the Second Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab, the Muslim forces, under the command of Abu Ubaydah, lay siege to Jerusalem . The Patriarch of the city, Sophronius, stated that he would negotiate only with Caliph Umar and that nobody enters Jerusalem before Caliph Umar. On hearing this Caliph Umar informed that he was on his way.
      Accompanied by a servant, Caliph Umar rode on camelback to Jerusalem though he could have been accompanied by an entourage that could have made the ground tremble under the hooves of horses. He did so to show simplicity and ensure that Allah alone deserves all the glories.
      On reaching Jerusalem, it was the servant’s turn to ride the camel and as a mark of respect and to ensure that the people see Caliph Umar, he wanted the Caliph to ride the camel. However Caliph Umar refused and entered Jerusalem on foot while the servant rode the camel to the shock and surprise of everyone including Patriarch Sophronius. On reaching the place Caliph Umar continued the journey on foot carrying his shoes in hand under the astonished gaze of the people.
      The Muslims who saw this spectacle recited the short prayers that refer to Allah’s absolute greatness and uniqueness. Caliph Umar walked to the army wearing modest threadbare clothes. The Christians who watched everything from the walls of Jerusalem were amazed at the strange simplicity, unable to believe that this simple man could be the leader of those well equipped armies.
      Abu Ubaidah who could not contain himself on seeing this unprecedented show of humility rushed to Umar’s side saying” today you have performed a magnificent deed before the people, perhaps you might….? Umar slapped him on the chest and criticized him saying “I wish someone other than you, Abu Ubaydah, had said this. We were a humiliated people and Allah honored us with Islam. We were weak and He gave us strength”.
      The Patriarch who saw the unfolding scenes with great admiration said to his people that nobody in the world would be able to stand up to masjidomarthese people and advisedthem to surrender to be saved. Negotiation took place and a famous treaty called 'Umariyya Covenant” was concluded .This treaty is still preserved in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

    • @mrrangard
      @mrrangard 2 роки тому +15

      @David Zack The Christians requested that Jews, who were not there before the conquest, be forbidden to enter Jerusalem and Umar accepted. Yet on his part Umar offered members of all faiths safety in Jerusalem and protection for their beliefs and their holy places, forbidding them to be desecrated or destroyed.
      After the treaty was signed the key to the city was formally handed over in 637 AC. The gates of Jerusalem were opened and Caliph Umar entered along a promenade that led him to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Caliph Umar was inside and the Patriarch said to him “pray”. However Caliph Umar declined, fearing it might establish a precedent that would threaten the church's continued use as a Christian house of worship. Instead he prayed in an area to the south of the church, now the site of the Mosque of Umar in Jerusalem.
      In doing so Caliph Umar showed the world the meaning of tolerance and generosity in victory and strength. It was the greatness of Islam that shone in his spirit and was reflected in his ethics though he was a person known for his firmness and courage.
      Caliph Umar then asked to be taken to the site of Masjid Al Aqsa.He could not find, but patriarch showed him the way.
      On arrival, accompanied by hundreds of Muslims, he found the area covered in dust and debris. He rolled up his sleeves and began sweeping and clearing the mosque immediately. On seeing this other Muslims including army generals and soldiers joined him in cleaning the place. Once cleaned up Caliph Umar took off his cloak, prayed and left there. It was the first prayer of Muslims in the Masjid Al Aqsa after the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
      Caliph Umar immediately ordered the restoration of the mosque. A huge timber mosque, Masjid Al Marwani, with a capacity to accommodate 3000 worshippers was erected on this site at the southernmost wall of the Noble Sanctuary. They then started praying in this holy place. This was the most peaceful manner Jerusalem was conquered and great status of this mosque was restored after the affront committed by the Christians.
      Under Caliph Umar’s generosity those who wanted to leave were allowed to do so with all their possessions while others who opted to stay were guaranteed protection for their lives, property and places of worship. Later Caliph Umar reversed the four hundred year Christian ban on Jews, allowed them to return to Jerusalem and granted Christians free use of their holy sites .Thus he turned Jerusalem into a city where Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in tolerance, peace and harmony.
      This opened the doors to the Jews who were denied access to Jerusalem. Throughout the Muslim rule of Jerusalem,from 637 to 1917 except for two relatively short periods, Jerusalem maintained its rightful title of 'The Holy City'.
      Under Muslim rule there were no massacres, no burning and looting and no desecration of holy places unlike being committed now by the

I recall how in WWI Lawrence of Arabia was only able to get the Arabs to join his attacks by promising them looting rights. I recall the annual mounds of Hindu heads stacked in Northern India by the Muslim conquerors as a celebration of their victories over the Indian Hindus and Sikhs in Northern India. I recall the slaughter and elimination of Buddhists and Hindus across Asia as the Muslims passed through the areas - exterminating and destroying the Buddhist monasteries as they went. Region after region destroyed, depopulated and/or forced to convert while he portrays them as the perfectly peaceful people with humble leaders. Yeah that doesn't quite fit.

    Another example of tolerance towards Jews by Muslims is when the Ottomans welcomed Jews fleeing Spain from the Spanish Inquisition. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were relocated in the Balkans and western Anatolia. Even to this day, there is a sephardic Jewish community in Istanbul who speak a language called Ladino which is a form of Spanish spoken by these Jewish people.

If you think that muslims differ from christians in their conquering practices, think again. The muslims were the most aggressive conquerors the world has ever seen, capturing the largest portions of land in the least amount of time. That's why the crusades started in the first place. As a response to muslim attacks. The muslims were systematically pillaging the southern parts of Italy, Greece, etc. He's lying big time.
