As a christian this was very informative and challenging but in that good way that makes me relook at history with a deeper understanding and a fresh perspective on the ramifications of actions taken into today's world. It makes me re-examine the history I've been taught and has been a wonderful journey through this smart and well presented documentary. Thank you so much. I'm very happy I subscribed.
Congratulations for this documentary. As a 25-old brazilian, it was for me the very first time to have opportunity to watch something impartial as it is. Nice job! I hope to see more stuff like this.
best documentary I've ever seen in my life. I was a big big fan of BBC for their unequivocal documentaries but you just surpassed it. Just one thing to here for all human " religion never dictates war, it's men who want to rule the world amd use religion as a shield to gather support and empathy. Those men are not doing good neither for mankind nor for their religion". Though religion told their disciples to defend their home but attacking others just for land , money , business , etc is evil . Those who understand me hit like those who dont "read it again with unbiased , clear and open mind.
1000 years have passed and we still fight with each other in the name of religions. When do we ever learn to accept our differences and respect one another?
Really liked this documentary. It was nice to be able to get a well presented view of the lesser known (at least in the West) side. Very well put together and I liked the range of historians that were interviewed.
Apologists for mass violence can not destroy the evidence of battles proving that islam was invading europe. The crusaders were doing counter moves out of fear of the erasure of christianity. Of course they were turds but turds are needed for such destructive deeds upon others. The clerics of islam are too blame for the slaughters of the crusades. They invited it.
i feel very thankful to aljazeera for such an enlightening insight on crusades and helping me to understand the fact behind the ongoing slaughters of muslims in the middle east on the name of terrorism.
Thank you very much Al Jazeera for producing this informative documentary which is based on the Muslim perspective. As for almarhum Salehudin Al Ayubi your deeds will be remembered till the end of time and May Allah forgive, free you from the torment of barzah, bless and put you among the best of Allah servants on the Day of Judgement. Aaamin Ya Robbbal Alaminnnn
An incredibly well made and comprehensive documentary not only on the history of the Crusades but how its consequences played into the modern day and age. Felt breath taken by the juxtaposition drawn with the turmoil that had existed in the Levant and Jerusalem during the Crusades against a similar backdrop of chaos and power struggles that exist in those areas today. More documentaries like this please !
*Ma sha Allah* thanks for this series..Personally for me, i learnt one important thing from this series , *One* *who* *forgets* *his* *history* *forgets* *himself* :)
I am not a fan of AJ but this documentary change my prospective.. thanks AJ for making something worthy buy maintaining the ture facts & narratives.... Thanks alot
First of all I think that AlJazeera are becoming more known within Societys, Communities, Universities, and other industries for it's resources of information about the Middle East. Therefore; this source of production is vital on a globle scale of informing the world about the histories and contemporary information on the gulf wars etc. Secondly I enjoyed this documentary very much because it provides an insight into the beginning of man kind wars in the Middle East. I totally agree with the comments from an Arab elderly towards the end of part 3 Liberation "imperial of colonisation". From an Indigenous prespective: It was the Maori people who were the very first to discover and settle in Aotearoa (New Zealand) . The Maori people had their own Maori world view of religions, gods, beliefs, values, traditions, Maori medicine and culture systems instored. After the British, Dutch and French early settlers and traders arrived Maori life systems came to an end. The British with the help of French and Dutch wiped out a colony of a Maori race killing kings and queens, confiscating the land and resources, spreading white diseases, giving alcohol to them and raping the Maori women, capturing Maori and trading them for slavery. This was the beginning of colonisation, and the arrival of missionaries converting them into Christenaity, and Catholic. Back to the "doc" in part 1 there was at least 3/4 different religions, Muslims been the domineering. It is remarkable how the culture of different prespectives of religions lived side by side, until the invasion of Western countries which changed the face of the Middle East and the world in the fault of history. In todays society there are many reigions for example the famous king of reggae Bob Marley also a true Rastafarian like many other Rastas believes that their god is a living man "Heile Selassie I 1st" I was digusted about many things how the Western countries turned religion into a war zone to gain authority, power, and greed all for territorial purposes. I was born and batizied a Catholic and it was like a shell shock knowning that the history of a Pope gave orders to kill in order to gain power. The Pope in todays world as I wonder if any of the cardinals and close links to the Pope have researched about the history of the Pope. If I had of known this information I would of not returned back to Catholic religion. I now understand more from an Indigenous prespective about the insights of the Arab kingdom that I feel more at ease, it's provided knowlege, I feel alot safer now than before walking amongst Arabs here in Australia, understanding a bit about the Arab and Islamsic lores. However; I fear more from an Australian white population as they are driven deeper into pyschotic drug taking of "Ice". I like to thank the production of Al Jazeera for sharing the documentaries god bless. Many blessings to the Middle East that 1 day there will come peace and harmony first of all from the small groups of people, into the small cities, than work your way into the larger cities. Peace will come 1 by 1 to the countries, be patience.
so, they didnt tought you in school about Maori wars when one island literally eat population of another just to conquer and impose their rule and beliefs? and they most surely forgot to mention to you how islam spreaded over the world so quickly? it wasnt by diplomacy , it was by force too. now you can feel unsafe again xD
I love seeing history from different viewpoints like this and how major events had an impact on our world in so many different ways. I felt it a bit of a stretch the way the ending wrapped up by comparing modern expansion/influence to the original Crusades but certainly a view worth considering and not wrong. There's just too large a time gap vs. the original Crusades to directly associate internal and external influences in the same scope. But this was a very good production. Combined with other historical information, it's easy to see how this was part of setting the stage for European Expansion (almost directly because of knowledge gained from the Crusades) and ultimately for industrialization and the World Wars.
I love this docomentary as Muslim those episodes is eye opener for me... to understand Islamophobia and Israel's occupation I have understand true history.. not on European perspectives.. thank you to those who did this great job may Allaha bless them all...
An amazing portrayal of the sequence of events that shed so much of blood, yet it seizes to end. Love the neutrality with which the events of history have been showcased. Thank you Al Jazeera I am now more aware of the history of the world.
'Oh horse! How thou flyest' without wings...' from the Qur'an. Just remember that the horse truly is man's best friend. None of our history could have happened without the amazing equine! 🐎
I've never heard the Crusades from an Arab Perspective. I've heard about the Knights Templar, but not the Arab, Musliim Assassins (until a few years ago), and this is the firt I've ever heard of Saladin. Much love from America.
@@rahataamina9275 my ancestors were German, they didn't invite anyone to anywhere. And by your definition of what occurred in Spain, we could say that the Christian pilgrims were invited to the Levant.
I would like to add to anyone who may comment, I am not trying to incite a fight....that fight will come but it is out of our control, we're not the Powers That Be....I am absolutely interested in a discussion with people who see things differently. I do not see the world through "American eyes" so don't make the mistake of thinking that.
shirehorse91 SO thats why he allowed his men to Plundering and murder the Christian city of Constantinople a bastion of Orthodoxy Even before that when the first crusaders took the city of Jerusalem they murdered Muslims,Jews and Orthodox Christians none were spared they were all killed down to the last women and child is this how you protect Christians ?
It was really eye opening. All the movies and stories I read about the holly land of Jerusallem it was all on one sided. this documentary was really good one that brings in the other side of the story !!! Absolutely enjoyed the documentary and wish you guys continue on this type documentary... A big THANKS from me. wish you all the best.
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! What a great ending, it was like reading a book, and loving every page!!! Qatar has a lot of wealthy people, I'm sure one of them could see this documentary and turn into a movie!!! The west needs to see this, needs to see the truth, because in movies the Crusaders are the heros, the great warriors who won many battles, but in reality they were not, and I knew about this even before the documentary, that the crusaders and those Popes were greedy people that didn't care about religion at all!!! I knew it, but many many many people don't know, and they need to know!!!! *SO, Please make a movie of this documentary!!! Please!!! Please!!! Please!!!* *I'm a Christian and I'd pay to see this movie!!!*
Beth_9 Beth_9 Crusaders are the same fanatic religious people in the Christian World like the ISIS in the Islamic World. They all terrorist and killing in the name of God no matter which side of the religious end they are. they are massive murders while they are forgotten of the main principles of their religion. none of them can be considered as religious people They are all killing for money and power Only use the title of being religious for dismiss simple people And make them believe that killing the enemy, hounded of thousands Innocent civilians is a Holy War that is acceptable While they only take care of their own greediness and their our richness.
The phrase "Islam without u will survive but you without Islam will perish" manifests its self here When the mamluks slaves from Asia were born to save Islam.
Great documentary well done ! The crusades with dowt any doubt a crime against humanity that's matter if was 800 years ago, because a thing like this may appen in any era ! Many thanks again for the work Aljazeera .
It's not Arab perspective. What do mean by perspective? History should be explain as it was. You have called Richard the lion heart who killed 30000 unarmed civilians. And got defeated many times by Sultan, returned lost and got kidnapped on the way in Austria.
Amazing influences of the East on Europe, modern world wouldn’t be the same without the knowledge gathered during this period. It’s a shame the east just sat on this knowledge while the Europeans progressed and came back to colonise the East. Lessons to be learnt.
Well Produced with "facts" on hand latter is what is needed for a good history to remain for thousands of years ahead. Wisdom says that it takes quite a long time for the "TRUTH TO GET REVEALED".
So glad that Baibars is portrayed here! Mamluks from slaves turned against their weak spineless owners, and defeated both the Mongols and the Crusaders!!! Just wow!!! I am from Central Asia and I am proud of my heritage!
Great series. I wish they spent more time on Salah ah-Din vs. Richard I. Sorry for our Western Imperialism Arabs, Turks, Kurds, Persians, and others. We have to learn how to "live-and-let-live."
The biggest mistake Muslims did at that time was they stopped the fight in Acre, it would be best if they continue attacks to the crusaders then crusaders couldn't devise plans against Muslim lands. Salah Ed-Din and Baibars the liberators of Jerusalem were not Arabs this makes clear that we should not relay Arabs in Saudi and other Arabs. We are coming back, crusaders prepare your departure, and know we are not stopping until we reach your homes in West. Inshallah.
You guys you are busy with Jerusalem, but Muslims are in your countries with a higher numbers, millions, especially in Europe and America. We want your continents, but you are straggling for one city or small Palestinian land. hhh.
osp80 I hope you are aware that because of a weak immigrant policy Europe has already been overrun by muslims? For me it's only a matter of time before they fully revolt in the name of jihad and start a grand scale uprising. I'm truly afraid and horrified that the next time we see each other it'll be when our eyes meet from our beheaded heads rolling on the floor.
Now I get the point where Esrael came from and how it was formed by the colonials. Muslims have to learn a learn from their devision caused by the West. Thank you Al Jazeera English. Wonderful job really.
The holy land was conquered by the first islamic empire from the byzantine empire. It is quite funny that all these historians see the crusades as a conquest of muslim land, while the spread of islam by sword into the mediterranean area was not an aggression. However, the mongol invasion was the real set back for the medival arab world.
Exactly. Aside from Saudi peninsula and eastern lands like Iran, Afganistan and so on, Asia minor and North Africa are historically and rightfully Christian and belongs to the west. We will need to acquire it again, as soon as our current elite stops playing stupid games.
Mohammed Haitham It was Roman for a long time, and there was a huge influence of Greeks, they pretty much defined culture with gimnasia and libraries such Alexandria. Natives were allowed to remain Egypt pagans, because Rome was generally tolerant of other religions. Of course, that tolerance can become a weakness at some point.
Tehanu Reaver it was native for much longer... And it still is... Plus the Romans were not religiously tolerant. Do you forget what they did to the Jews and early Christians? Or even to the pagan gods that they didn't follow. Lol, it's funny when uneducated idiots express their ignorance so willingly and openly.
great documentary, I learned so much about my religion. we Muslim needs another Salahudin, But we know that Mehdi will come and Esa come and they will fight against Israelis ( Dajal) and break the cross.
You see this is what happens when you twist the word of God for your own selfish agendas. When Jerusalem fell to Umar ibn Al Khattab (R.a) in the 6th century without bloodshed. it was actually a prophecy in those time that a man with such and such attributes will take over the Holy land and it must be given to him and that man was Umar ibn Al Khattab (R.A). Umar ibn Al Khattab (R.a) took the land and helped built the church of holy sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque 4 centuries later some idiot pope comes twist the words in the bible for his own agenda and 1st crusade happens which has caused such a turmoil that the Holy land hasn't seen peace since then. Allah Says in the Quran. Woe to those who write the books from their own hands and say this is from Allah.
enjoyed these episodes very much. The end is actually a welcome perspective that should be added to Western curriculum. Too much wrong narratives circulating today.
This happened in the medieval world but some of the comments here show the wrath that some people still have. We should learn to live with each other regardless of religious differences we have
At time point 35:04 it says the crusaders learned a lot from the Arab civilization and recovered a number of Greek texts translated into Arabic along with the commentaries. A school for translating texts from Arabic into Latin was established in the Holy Land. Ended at 35:23, This supports Dr Darnell's statements in 1996 at Loma Linda.
As a christian this was very informative and challenging but in that good way that makes me relook at history with a deeper understanding and a fresh perspective on the ramifications of actions taken into today's world. It makes me re-examine the history I've been taught and has been a wonderful journey through this smart and well presented documentary. Thank you so much. I'm very happy I subscribed.

31:14 "The crusaders fought hard, not heroically. Thieves can't be heroes." ... 😁😁 I LOVE IT 😎
That's pure true
Beautiful,so much real facts, It opens the eyes of those who do not understand
Apologists for mass violence can not destroy the evidence of battles proving that islam was invading europe.
The crusaders were doing counter moves out of fear of the erasure of christianity.
Of course they were turds but turds are needed for such destructive deeds upon others.
The clerics of islam are too blame for the slaughters of the crusades. They invited it.
Salahudin and Mamluk both were non-arab, There is a lesson for the Arabs from Allah (swt). Only if they knew
they were muslim
Iberian invasion were non -Arab as well, they were berbers !

History has a way of repeating itself ! Never rang truer after watching all 5 episodes !
First of all I think that AlJazeera are becoming more known within Societys, Communities, Universities, and other industries for it's resources of information about the Middle East. Therefore; this source of production is vital on a globle scale of informing the world about the histories and contemporary information on the gulf wars etc.
Secondly I enjoyed this documentary very much because it provides an insight into the beginning of man kind wars in the Middle East. I totally agree with the comments from an Arab elderly towards the end of part 3 Liberation "imperial of colonisation".
From an Indigenous prespective: It was the Maori people who were the very first to discover and settle in Aotearoa (New Zealand) . The Maori people had their own Maori world view of religions, gods, beliefs, values, traditions, Maori medicine and culture systems instored. After the British, Dutch and French early settlers and traders arrived Maori life systems came to an end. The British with the help of French and Dutch wiped out a colony of a Maori race killing kings and queens, confiscating the land and resources, spreading white diseases, giving alcohol to them and raping the Maori women, capturing Maori and trading them for slavery.

In todays society there are many reigions for example the famous king of reggae Bob Marley also a true Rastafarian like many other Rastas believes that their god is a living man "Heile Selassie I 1st"
I was digusted about many things how the Western countries turned religion into a war zone to gain authority, power, and greed all for territorial purposes. I was born and batizied a Catholic and it was like a shell shock knowning that the history of a Pope gave orders to kill in order to gain power. The Pope in todays world as I wonder if any of the cardinals and close links to the Pope have researched about the history of the Pope. If I had of known this information I would of not returned back to Catholic religion.

Unfortunately Yes
So Pope Innocent wasnt so Innocent after all
Amour Ringinton
Pope Innocent III was A Warmonger According to Christian Historian.
shirehorse91 exactly what invasion are you talking about?
shirehorse91 SO thats why he allowed his men to Plundering and murder the Christian city of Constantinople a bastion of Orthodoxy
Even before that when the first crusaders took the city of Jerusalem they murdered Muslims,Jews and Orthodox Christians none were spared they were all killed down to the last women and child
is this how you protect Christians ?
No, it was Muhammad that was the warmonger, war criminal and child rapist. The Pope was defending Christians against Muslim invasion and aggression.
shirehorse91 Everything you just said is historically and factually incorrect plz produce your proof for what you are claiming

Thanks a lot for these 4 remarkable episodes .. interestingly to note 7:56 quoted by Prof Jonathan Phillips (University of London)
Great documentary.. ..we need saladin right now.
I really need more of this video.... A big JAZAKUMULAHU TO ALJAZEERA
Thank You Al Jazeera.
Thank for this informative documentary
The biggest mistake Muslims did at that time was they stopped the fight in Acre, it would be best if they continue attacks to the crusaders then crusaders couldn't devise plans against Muslim lands.
Salah Ed-Din and Baibars the liberators of Jerusalem were not Arabs this makes clear that we should not relay Arabs in Saudi and other Arabs.
We are coming back, crusaders prepare your departure, and know we are not stopping until we reach your homes in West. Inshallah.
Robin Rogers hhhh you crusader relax it is matter of time.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.... Loser.
You guys you are busy with Jerusalem, but Muslims are in your countries with a higher numbers, millions, especially in Europe and America.
We want your continents, but you are straggling for one city or small Palestinian land. hhh.
Yes, but where would half of your family emigrate if ottomans took over entire europe?
osp80 I hope you are aware that because of a weak immigrant policy Europe has already been overrun by muslims? For me it's only a matter of time before they fully revolt in the name of jihad and start a grand scale uprising. I'm truly afraid and horrified that the next time we see each other it'll be when our eyes meet from our beheaded heads rolling on the floor.
Great documentary this. Continue with the good work
Absolutely amazing, mashallah, jazakallah khairn 👍💎
Great series, great end.
Now I get the point where Esrael came from and how it was formed by the colonials. Muslims have to learn a learn from their devision caused by the West. Thank you Al Jazeera English. Wonderful job
really.
Thanks to Al Jazeera family for this documentary.
We Muslims all should wake up, realise the enemy, and unite to remove them from our land.
and your land is?
The holy land was conquered by the first islamic empire from the byzantine empire. It is quite funny that all these historians see the crusades as a conquest of muslim land, while the spread of islam by sword into the mediterranean area was not an aggression. However, the mongol invasion was the real set back for the medival arab world.
Exactly. Aside from Saudi peninsula and eastern lands like Iran, Afganistan and so on, Asia minor and North Africa are historically and rightfully Christian and belongs to the west. We will need to acquire it again, as soon as our current elite stops playing stupid games.
Mohammed Haitham before that, it all belonged to a western, roman state.
Tehanu Reaver the Romans took them from the Seleucids and Egyptians. so no
Mohammed Haitham It was Roman for a long time, and there was a huge influence of Greeks, they pretty much defined culture with gimnasia and libraries such Alexandria. Natives were allowed to remain Egypt pagans, because Rome was generally tolerant of other religions. Of course, that tolerance can become a weakness at some point.
Tehanu Reaver it was native for much longer... And it still is... Plus the Romans were not religiously tolerant. Do you forget what they did to the Jews and early Christians? Or even to the pagan gods that they didn't follow. Lol, it's funny when uneducated idiots express their ignorance so willingly and openly.
May Allah take my soul on the battlefield especially now with what's going on in Sham amin 🙏
We pray to Allah to send for us a uniting leader once again and liberate our lands from the oppressors.. Allahumma aameen.
I know Im late to this but... great series you have here. Hope to see another one like this sometime again.
May Allah defend the weak.
This is worth listening to learn about how Islam was a blessing or teaching position for the west.
thats not true
great documentary, I learned so much about my religion. we Muslim needs another Salahudin, But we know that Mehdi will come and Esa come and they will fight against Israelis ( Dajal) and break the cross.
You see this is what happens when you twist the word of God for your own
selfish agendas. When Jerusalem fell to Umar ibn Al Khattab (R.a) in
the 6th century without bloodshed. it was actually a prophecy in those
time that a man with such and such attributes will take over the Holy
land and it must be given to him and that man was Umar ibn Al Khattab
(R.A). Umar ibn Al Khattab (R.a) took the land and helped built the
church of holy sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque 4 centuries later some
idiot pope comes twist the words in the bible for his own agenda and 1st
crusade happens which has caused such a turmoil that the Holy land
hasn't seen peace since then.
Allah Says in the Quran.
Woe to those who write the books from their own hands and say this is
from Allah.
Holy Bible is the true word of God Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ!
This is why historians today Compare Christianity with Various Paganisms
Well said Alvi..... May Allah bless you
A nice and apparently impartial documentary .
Extraordinary work!
enjoyed these episodes very much. The end is actually a welcome perspective that should be added to Western curriculum. Too much wrong narratives circulating today.
We shall liberate it very soon.
from whom? its rightfull owners which created it in a first place? xD
3 years later lol 😂

IT WAS THE ONLY CHANNEL TO COVER THE AFGHAN WAR LIVE
ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!!!
This happened in the medieval world but some of the comments here show the wrath that some people still have. We should learn to live with each other regardless of religious differences we have
Great narration of facts and telling us history of our great heroes
At time point 35:04 it says the crusaders learned a lot from the Arab civilization and recovered a number of Greek texts translated into Arabic along with the commentaries. A school for translating texts from Arabic into Latin was established in the Holy Land. Ended at 35:23, This supports Dr Darnell's statements in 1996 at Loma Linda.
I loved it! Gonna watc
