- The Crusades: an Arab Perspective - Revival: The Muslim Response to the Crusades (Episode 2)
The Crusades: An Arab Perspective is a four-part documentary series telling the dramatic story of the crusades seen through Arab eyes, from the seizing of Jerusalem under Pope Urban II in 1099, to its recapture by Salah ad-Din (also known as Saladin), Richard the Lionheart's efforts to regain the city, and the end of the holy wars in 1291. Part one looked at the First Crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem. In part two, we explore the birth of the Muslim revival in the face of the crusades.
By the early 12th century, the crusades had successfully captured not only the holy city of Jerusalem but huge swaths of the Muslim Levant. Islam's third holiest site, the al-Aqsa Mosque, was in the hands of the crusaders.
The Muslim world, a mighty power for the previous four centuries, was shocked by the Christian annexation of large parts of their empire.
With Jerusalem under their control, the crusaders began to build a new system of rule in the lands they had captured.
They expelled many of its original inhabitants, including Muslims, Jews, and eastern Christians, and began to fill Jerusalem with settlers arriving from Western Europe.
"Those people were slaves and vassals and had no rights at all in Europe. When they came to us, their whole life changed when they became landowners. Their social status changed and so did the demographic and social class structure," explains Afaf Sabra, professor of history, Al-Azhar University.
Furthermore, the commanders of the First Crusade, lesser knights from Europe, began to style themselves monarchs in the lands they conquered.
In July 1100, Baldwin of Boulogne, one of the leaders of the First Crusade, was crowned Baldwin I, King of Jerusalem.
"With the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the county of Edessa and the Principality of Antioch, expansion into the Arab lands became easier. The new colonial leaders began expanding their realm very easily," says Qassem Abdu Qassem, head of the history department, Zaqaziq University.

BISMILAH.....I am an Albanian and I want to say that SALAHUDDIN was not an Arab but he was Kurdish and that's the beauty of ISLAM that no matter your nationality you can contribute to Islam and approve the state of all our muslim brothers and sisters today.
@Holy Armor it's not like your paganism. Only person with more Good deeds is better Muslim.
@Holy Armor ?

No difference in race in Islam only our doing is what make difference between people

And the crusaders are there most powerful enemy that islamic has ever face
@@vanlunghlumawiamizo8593 we defeated mongols , crusaders are noting in front of mongols.
The one who said history repeats itself really was precise in their observation. When I look at the 'umma' today in relation to the events yesterday, I can't help but fall apart. It's our people like yesterday that will raise it tomorrow. The leaders of today are no different from those yesterday. Let's learn people, let's learn, no matter what, this umma like yesterday will rise! The youth that are neglected today will lead tomorrow just like those of old did.

Resurrection fire is burning most people are lost they need knowledge how to defend there faith with knowledge look up ahmed deedat bro you will learn alot
Never turn your back on your deen if if the whole world turns on you islam was spread by knowledge love not by sword
I am ready to die in the cause of Allah Tabaraka wataala
Tom akram defend faith?
Defend truth not faith. All religions are false...
Rational being Citizen of the Earth you’re a lost soul. Truth is subjective Islam is objective
It was so sweet i didnt want it to end, very interesting cant wait for part 3!
i am waiting to hear about this great man, Salauddin Ayoobi!!!!!!!!!!
I think all religions are false

I'm muslim and I like Baldwin IV he was a good man.

Religion is the worst invention done by human. Human have only one religion the religion of humanism, love, brotherhood, peace. Let us all unite for a world where only the sound,smell and sight of love and peace stands above all..
I can't wait next part subhan Allah. May Allah give our hero Salahuddin jannah for his love of Islam.
May Allah give us same kids and ummah ameen.
crusades were a counter to islamic expansion that invaded christian lands for the previous 400 plus years
Very informative , genuinely explained. Lots of love and respect .
What A Magnificent.. Fantastic Documentary ever.. I can't express thanks in my words.. Seems we were living that age.. Crying as history repeats itself 😢
Yes the west has to defend itself from the spread of Islam and jihad
4:50 this brings me to tears, what situation these people faced and what reward they will get from Allah Himself!
I'm so sorry and feel sad for those who believe in an imaginary reward from an imaginary man called Allah
@@farisshaf8610 And sorry for people who believe that random chance created the wonderful systems and heavenly bodies. I guess your brain cannot understand the engineering behind creation of a simple item like a metal wire? :D
Oh the poor babies,well when you have stopped your weeping maybe you can shed a couple of tears for the millions slaughtered by the sword of Islam I'll just give you two examples timer or Tamerlane armies killed 17million for Allah the moguls killed between 70 and 100 million Hindus in India during their conquest. They make the crusaders look like amateurs having tea and crumpets
Thanks for this wonderful episode
What a fantastic resource this is. Thank you AJ for producing this!
Can't wait to watch forthcoming episode and learn some more about Salah Uddin Zangi.
We still have crusaders but they have changed their killing style
Nah its all the same search on youtube chenchnya and srebrenica
Its called Jihad
But he had not supported not even a single violent operation like Muhammed
@Kuriakose Abraham How stupid and sexual your Yahweh that he rabed a 12yrs old Mary and begot a son who he mercilessly slaughtered because his not the true God who is not bound by any circumstance to just forgive without blood.
Kuriakose Abraham Read the Bible first teaching you to kill everyone except women who haven’t married yet
Bible
31:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Thank u Al Jazeera for such a wonderful documentary
As always one sides view filled with half truths.
@@kdshak4904 explained what is the real truth
@@ibnz3888 crusades were a response to save europe from islamic invasion. Look at what they did to Constantinople and hagia Sophia. Islam=violence
@@affinix887 and that happen in 1400s so better not mentioned that
if there was a salah din in our time ; people will name him a terrorist.
he won't be called a terrorist as long as he kisses cross
Don’t compare the great Saladin whit American militia
Thats why islamophobia is the most stupid .
we got a salahudine and he is Mohamed bin Salman and he is almost like u said , branded by many as someone bad when he is trying to bring forth the arab and islamic world to become great
Its funny how your name is truth seeker yet you know nothing of MBS :D. hahhaha the irony
Excellent narrative and history of the Crusades ....thank you.
.... just that intro line:
"The story of the crusades... From an Arab perspective."
Instantly got my attention
iqbal sahibil what's your source?
iqbal sahibil oh yes I knew this, maybe I didn't understand your first comment
Funded ISIS? Yet ISIS are using made in USA and Israel weapons?
@@wowAmazingWorld And the ones using these weapons are Mohammedans? Do you think that we are stupid to believe what is coming from your mouth?
A Muslim perspective instead of Arab perspective is a first necessary step toward Islamic unity. Ethnicity and nationalism over Islam is one of the most poisonous “gifts” of the Western influence. Let us see each other as Muslim brothers and sisters first and foremost so we can break national ethnic barriers and unite as did our ancestors prior to Western political and cultural - not to mention psychological - impositions that we are suffering from.
Very interesting documentary, im glad to finally see other side of the story, but more or less nothing new.
i love seeing different perspectives over a situation. what you end up seeing is that both sides usually have a point and both always think they are right. depending on where YOU stand determines what side you will choose.
As far as I understand both war is for defending faith. We should defend truth not faith. All religions are false.
No, there is only side of the truth: there is only one truth . And it says the crusaders came from Europe and invaded the Muslim world ! Period!
@@TPS-now Jerusalem was firstly Jewish and then Christian then Muslim and now it is Jewish again.
@@grahamt5924 yeah! We all know how to speak, but what your proof?? Just read the balfour promise, it is online, it says promising palestine to Jews around the world, so they came in and started killing and kicking out the palestinians because of Balfour and because what they believe in in their books. Imagine someone coming to your own house and telling you: hey I think that my 2000 years grand parents lived her, move out!!!!
@@TPS-now When I hear you complaining about the 100 000 Egytian Jews kicked out of Egypt or the 130 000 Iraqi Jews kicked out their homes in Iraq, maybe I might think you have something worthwhile to say.
Thank you so much --
Good work....!! waiting for next episode. Keep your struggles like these..!!
May Allah blessing me and all people and bring me son and daughter like Salahudin and al-Fatih
Crusader's flag looks like the national flag of england
It derives from the Templar Cross, but with notable differences. The Templars were seen as the archetype of what they thought the ideal crusader should be. The red cross was to symbolize the Templar's willingness to die in service to Christ and the white background was to symbolize their purity of spirit as they gave up material wealth and lived an austere monastic life when not in battle. During the crusades the Christians also started to venerate St. George as he was the warrior saint and depicted him as a Templar/Crusader in Christian art.
The red cross on white was adopted by the soldiers of the French and English kings during 2nd crusade who were placed under command of Knight Templar captains. The difference being the red cross adoptedes by the soldiers were straight broad red bands on white backgrounds like the paintings of St. George whereas the real Templars wore the red cross pattée which didn't extend to the edge.
It's believed the English adopted the St. George style flag after Richard the Lionheart returned to England after the 3rd crusade.
And your point is?
@Anglus Patria You will get crushed, it's only a matter of time.
@@Adam-hs9ft and his point is look like England flag lol. He described and observational features. Is this an issue ? Also yes because both flags relearn Saint George cross who is a Palestinian saint at time of Greek empire in the area who the story said he killed a dragon !
So don’t be ridiculous and it is not little girls chat it is an intellectual subject
Yes 👍🏻 same
Was gutted wen this wasn't on yesterday!! Awesome 1st episode. Hope this ones just as good 👍🏻

Abu Saad al-Harwi was originally from Herat, Afghanistan and then the judge and Damascus city’s most respected personality. By establishing the method of protesting against the rulers and mobilizing the people, he awakened the dormant power of the Islamic world, Jihad.
In that day’s Arab world, they made exciting odes from the sermons of al-Harawi...
Refrence: The Crusades Through Arab Ayes, page 6. by Ameen Maalouf
Christians were in the Lavant 400 years before Islam came... Islam laid siege to Paris 200 years before Jerusalem fell. The Crusaders where just holding back the attack of Islam. Notice no effort to hit Mecca was ever launched.
Tours in in Isle De France near Paris and Muslim troops were outside Paris. Name a time Christian troops were massed near Mecca or Medina? Plus, Bonus Question, How is Jerusalem not the center of the Christian faith or the Jewish faith?
To this day, Muslims line up Christians to be killed just for their faith vowing to take down even Rome. But, no effort has ever been made to hit Mecca...
Ivan Stöber Popes offered salvation through the Crusades - lol 😁 enough said
The Christians in Levant have nothing to do with Crusaders
They were mostly Arameans and Arabs and they converted to Islam only a tiny minority didn't and Levant was the heart of the Umayyad Caliphate .
Fantastic creation, will help UMMA to understand till the internet works on this Universe...

more documentaries pleae
It's not a documentary though, cos a documentary would tell u the facts from a neutral stand point
@@Adam-hs9ft so? Whats wrong
Great.
great man
This series, all 4 parts, was amazing and enlightening! What particularly stood out for me was the stark contrast between Christian illiteracy, ignorance, and rogue fanaticism of the Crusaders versus the more erudite Islamic ideals of science, medicine, mathematics, and literacy. Phlebotomy or demon exorcism? Really? Clearly these empires were functioning on different levels. Today, we can still see this phenomenon represented today between the educated who tout intellectualism and uneducated who have nothing but religious fundamentalism to establish any kind of purpose or meaning in life. Thanks for making this AJ!
What are your thoughts about Al-Batinyah?
You are a joke, islamic golden age is a myth, modern civilization is European
Thank God for the crusaders, imagine what the world 🌎 would have been now 🙏
Good job!Salauddin is a great hero for all human & all time as soldier of Islam.
Looking at the past may help to look forward.
Shias did it back than and they are doing it now. They support the Crussaders
shame on you man.. behave
that's what i am saying.. shame on the treacherous Shia.. their real God is Abdallah ibn Saba
look at all the Sunni dominated countries(Turkey, Azerbaijan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia , Egypt,Qatar , UAE , Kuweit Oman...etc. etc.) in the ME allied or freindly to America & Israel tell us who is the real stumbling block to the Ummah. Maybe when Pakistan refuses to take another annual $1billion sum of military aid from the US congress (same people giving Israel 3$billlion every year) will you be able to tell us who are the true Traitors
digiart yeah we are cancer for the European dark ages
musti mon yes you are right.Unfortunately Shias have always been a problem for the Muslims. The fall of Baghdad (1258), The fall of Baghdad (2003), The fall of Jerusalem (1099), The fall of Bengal (1757) all have their roots into shia betrayal and treason.
This needs to be dubbed.
We want more this type of journalist from aljazeera
I want its part one .
I just wanna remind everyone, The Crusaders were sometimes not true christians, they even killed there own Christian brothers in constantinople
Crusades are not supported from the bible
@cabdenho19 Not always and eventually all Muslim countries were conquered by Christians a couple of centuries later so not that good of an end.
@cabdenho19 But yet millions of Algerians,Tunisians and Moroccans cross the dangerous sea to come to Europe lmao.This shows your failed states,you stick to your system,you fiil and become poor,you come to Europe and then want to change Europe to the thing that brought you here.
@cabdenho19 Btw,didn't you attack Spain first?
@@houseplant1016 we liberated it alhamdulillah n well do it again
Its about time someone told the real truth, شكرا
My great grand mothers ancestors where Spanish. They faced the Islamic Jihad from 712 onwards. Wasn't that the Muslim Crusade against West European Christianity. Thank god eventually the Christian of Iberian won and regained their freedom.
Robert Faulkner That was eventually followed by the Spanish Inquisition, and again, you need to thank Christianity for that.
The inquisition was an inevitable reaction to the trauma of seven hundreds of virtually constant warfare.The mistrust between Jews, Muslims and Christians became so ingrained that it continued even after most of the Spanish Jews and Muslims converted to Christianity. The Christians in Spain had a pretty bad time of it under Muslim rule. Dhimmitude. Living as third class citizens. In fact by the time they took Granada back there were very few Christians left there.
Robert Faulkner There was no such trauma. The time frame we are speaking of is huge. We are dealing with centuries, and not months, or a few years of Muslim rule. On the whole, main boundaries were well established and understood by both sides. Under Muslim rule, Christians, Jews and Muslims practiced their individual beliefs, yet co-operated as one people and society prospered as a result. Let us not forget, Spain excelled under this rule. Intellectual knowledge and scientific progress flourished from all three established communities.
An attempt should not be made to justify religious persecution of the worst kind but you may try to understand, without sympathy, how it came to pass. The Spanish Inquisition was not just against Muslims or Jews. Though Jews, could never be explained as a credible threat but were targeted nonetheless in Christian Spain. In that time, religion ruled and ruled peoples' minds with intent. You could just as easily be executed for a fallacious charge of blasphemy as you could for being a non-Christian. The obvious political dimensions were there but the driving force behind the Inquisition was one based in religious supremacy. It was more about the nature of Christianity at that time than anything else.
you kicked them out and now they're coming back. Enjoy.@@OmegaKent
Arabs have a say
"The truth is what the enemies have acknowledged"
This analogy is meant to listen to what our adversary says to understand his thinking. We may find in his words what is really wrong with us
Or in this case ... what is wrong with the Crusaders
Genocides
@@Abu_Ayyub_Al-Sudani BRAVO
Just a tip, search "real crusades history" if you want to actually understand rather than only listen to one side
Crusade is political movement by pope and Royalty of Europe to gain land outside Europe under pretext of religious war, prime example is how crusade itself weaken christianity to the point of sacking constantinople sealing the fate of western Roman empire which is also Christian, Christian Pilgrim is being taxed of protection charge by Christian Holy order when doing pilgrimage, they also often abuse non eurooean african christian like Ethiopian, Abyssinian even local christian populace imposing heavy tax for "protection".
Bible: Love thy enemy
Crusaders: .......do we tho?
Wow. History has repeated itself. I am astounded.
Yes as long as Islam and jihad spreads people will have to defend themselves

I appreciate this documentary. At last, something from the mouth of the victors and not the crusade-biased Western scholars.
I though Britain got Jerusalem back in the 1920s.
lslam was beaten son
The Muslim Empires unite and strike back.
loved this documentary.....if you want to see a movie about salahudin then watch KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Better watch Arn he Templar, Kingdom of Heaven is just Hollywoods copy of it.
Although is true that the Salahuddin of KoH is more realistic.
In the one hand, good to finally hear the other perspective. On the other, it definitely feels and has the same propegandic look to it that many Christian depictions of the crusades have, ie demonize the opposition glorify the self.
Exactly. Propaganda and half truths.
Most of the Crusades from a western perspective where a complete and utter disaster. I have never heard a western perspective that glorified the Crusaders.
Why did Zengi’s slave kill him?Where was his slave from?

history always tells the story of how trechery and jealousy arose among the Shia adherents.pfft..the story of how Baghdad fell in the hand of the Mongols, the story of the gulf war, the story of syria etc..
Perhaps, but one should remenber that most muslims are sunni and that was Always the case. Therefore, there is a bias in historical narrative that most often tilts in favor of the sunni.
Correct. I am not a Muslim BUT I always been an UNBIASED research and the truth, even when is very difficult to find, is out there. If someday for any reason I was given the ultimatum to convert to Islam, I will become a Shia. By the way, do the readers knows what " Shia " means ? Do you know the names of the Persian families converted to Islam that started the " translation revolution " ?
3aBydoSauRus shia has this one thing called taqiyya. They don't want to admit cause they can lie. They plan butAllah is the best planner.
The Shias have nothing to do with the fall of Baghdad
They battled Mongols for years and killed many of them they also killed Crusaders and assassinated the King Of Jerusalem and they tried to kill the Mongol Khan .
@@user-ui3pw1ys3k where did you get this from ?
shia basically opened the gates of Baghdad to the Mongols after Ibn Al-qami conspired in secret with them
(he was the head minister and also shia)
they did not fight mongols ,in fact mongols were disgusted with their treason and treated them as servants
and shia fatimid allowed crusaders to invade parts of egypt and levants only because they were afraid of salajuks
they also conspired against Iraq in 1990 and eventually 2003 and formed a militia (they call it iraq army) to fight with Americans against resistance
Man , they had some great camera quality back in medieval times
