Unless I’m misunderstanding something, the vast majority of soldiers who perpetuated such horrific atrocities against civilians during the 30 years war were not religious fanatics at all. On the contrary, they were mercenaries ruthlessly & unapologetically obsessed with money & power who would fight for either side. Indeed, the few religious leaders whose supposed faith (more likely desire for ecclesiastical power) started this melee quickly were removed from the scene & replaced by rulers protecting their secular power. Not sure how religious this war ever was, even if that’s the rationale those in power gave.

Sweetwater denotes fresh (non-brackish) water. Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near. Has important context as well regarding malaria. After major tsunami floods one might assume that many streams with sweetwater could become tainted with a degree of brackish status. The Bernese and the Sino-Chinese peoples made great early notes on such. Neither say “L” quite like the English so I suspect many German and Italian lowland marshes deemed “black water” were due to being “brackwater” sources. Just a contextual thought to add to oh so many names occurring in our histories (post-orientalizia of Mediterranean/Mesopotamian/European/the isles etc..) My favorite is “Roman”. My rabbit hole lead me to “Óman” using the context through linguistic hunt. The pacific-Asian nations and Chinese use characters like the Egyptians used them. Words tell sequences over transliterated words. So you can copy paste a chinese/Japanese etc. word and note the meaning of each character and subtract and add back in such a way as to see the sequence of a race or a people group. I’ll leave it at that for y’all to play with but it has been a 100% accurate way thus far for me to understand better the bottleneck of our history. Worth playing with.
"Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near." Humans require sodium for our nervous system to work; hence why, the further back we look at sapien's history, we/they all tended to live near the sea and/or rivers that carried salt. Without salt humans enter hyponatremia, brain swells and you die. The bit on words is interesting. Does it tally with the use of music score? I understood that punctuation originated from music, using beats, and skips etc. which confuses some bits about; essentially hieroglyphics and the use of symbols. Other examples are that of the ancient Nordic cultures using runes no?

Why would they lie? The Soviets were (and still are) Greek Orthodox and most of China was Confucianist, Taoist, and Buddhist. Atheists have only become the predominant demographic globally in the last 4 years. You were taught fake history. Secular humanism as an ideology cannot cause death, by definition.
A little research suggests that the massacre of 65,000 Muslim & Jewish civilians by the crusaders in Jerusalem was not a “frenzy of bloodlust” but a response to an order given 3 days after the city had been taken because the Egyptian army was approaching & the army couldn’t control the civilian population & also fight the Egyptian army. War is heartless, especially in ancient times, but most massacres are a response to orders, not a simple frenzy - that whole idea is a bit silly.

There is an error in the report. The owner of the Battle of Ain Jalut, who fought the Mongols, is Qutuz, not Salah al-Din, but Salah al-Din is the owner of the Battle of Hattin, who fought the Crusaders.
It doesn't sound like religion started these wars at all. Religion was used as a banner by the respective parties, but that's about it. If anything, religion offered a respite from war and provided hope for common understanding and peace.
Like most documentaries, makes the Christians sound like the bullies and the world was the victims. What they don’t impress upon in the documentary is that the Muslim Turks were coming into Christian lands as the aggressors and wanted to wipe out the Christian faith altogether. And the Crusaders knew they could not just continue to play defense they had to press forward and go on the offense Or risk losing Christianity for all future. But I still very much enjoyed this video very informative learned a lot of things I did not know before
The ottomans ruled the balkans for centuries and they are still christian dominant. They didnt try to wipe out christianity but they did bad things for sure.
You did hear about Constitine little civil war before the Ottoman right? Way back in the 300s? Christians Emperors kicked out or killed those who didn’t convert…
The Mongols had no culture? What an absolutely stupid thing to say. Every people have a culture, that is part of what it means to be a people. As well Ghenghis Khan actually administered a huge empire and instituted the first "pony express".
he didn't say that...he said they brought no superior culture with them and that they "basically" had no culture. They were a nomadic people and had no established identifying culture at that time. Yes, the empire became huge but most of that was after his death. The idea of a "pony express" was actually introduced to Genghis Khan during the Chinese Song Dynasty and then expanded by his son
Plus they was originally a mish mash of different nomadic steppe tribes so yeah other then conquering and pillaging that mish mash of tribes didnt have that much in common
Mongols had a huge influence in much of Asian...even by side effect they changed other cultures...so they influenced history and had to have a culture to influence anothers
@@brodriguez7934 But the influence wasnt Mongol "culture" it was literally the agenda of one person that being whoever the Khan was at the time. Tengri the Mongolian Shamanistic religion wasnt spread to conquered peoples nor was any language or written systems ...Mongolian art or literature, science nothing that you could attribute to "culture" was adopted by anyone the Mongols conquered.
the only thing they influenced was the logistics and administration or ruling over an empire of different cultures and religjons ...tolerance of religion and ruling through autonomy was the biggest influence.

why do peopel hype up the crusades like it was even anything compared to other wars. like in the whole of it, it killed less people than the vietnam war
Didn’t say that. “they bring no superior culture with them” in reference to Islam. Which is definitely ethnocentric but not incorrect. The Mongols were not farmers, what they acquire they acquire through conquest. In this respect the statement is true.
This narrator insists the islamic culture is 'superior' several times, and never once criticises anything about Islam or the Muslims, whilst chastitising Crusaders for their 'bloodlust'.
The two words have different meanings & this is simply a play on words, with the narrator meaning “Reformation” upper, not lower case. Please, read more.
Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.
The bizarre fawning over Islam is insufferable. It's like the whole concept of a documentary on Holy Wars in the Middle Ages is thrown out for 25 minutes so we can all learn about how wonderful and peaceful and tolerant and innovative and awesome Islam is. Also they invented romantic love (???).
So glad to see someone else that heard all of that too. I laughed at the part they said that Muslims invented romantic love in their poetry. Out loud I said to no one in particular “I guess women beating is “love””
Growing up in a Islamic household was hell, I always used to ask why God sounds pissed off in Islam more than Christianity. Pray five times a day? You, can't do this and you can't do that. I rather go across the street to the Church where God is the friendlier and I don't have to work twice as hard. I was always told as a kid if you don't die a Muslim you're not going to heaven. All other religions are wrong and we are right. Behind closed doors that's what they say, it's nuts. And the so called prophet that everyone in Islam speaks highly of? We will call him "Moe" married a six year old girl and consummated their relationship when she was 9 and he 50. It's crazy how people are hypnotized by this and every Muslim will tell you stories as though they were there. Oh and the word of the Quran has NEVER been CHANGED, unlike the Christians and Jews which there text has, they claim. What a joke, I don't even trust the post office man to delivery my mail correctly.
Okay, I learned that it was probable that Martin Luther did nail his 95 theses to the church door because church doors were like corkboard for the communities, and it's where everyone posted things, so the twist is that it was nothing special that he did that. This was on a PBS documentary....
"Germany or France were not centers of learning in antiquity" (47:30) This type of utter fallacy is dying out. We now realize that it was the Celts, specifically the Aedui and their ancestors and progeny that were the keepers of the most accurate celestial knowledge, that is before the Celtic Holocaust by the Romans and the Islamic Invasions and their borrowing and the following decline of the learned peoples everywhere they brought their swords.
It’s the best thing that happened to man before religion people killed each other and human life was like grass, religion teaches morality and righteous living. People want live life free with no consequences, adultery, fornication, lying, murder, envy, hate, etc. then when saying it’s sin, people don’t wanna hear it cause it goes against what they want to do. Each to their own. Human is inherently evil, religion is good so if people of religion are doing bad stuff it’s not the religion but the people within it
I understand what you’re saying humans can be cruel. But your not understanding what I’m saying. I guess we disagree. Religion is for the week. I don’t need a 2000 year old book to tell me how to have spirituality morals. I understand people need a friend in the sky looking out after them. Giving them laws that need to be updated. How about thou should not touch children. Maybe you should look into what I’m saying. Start with Thomas Paine book common sense. Friedrich Nietzsche. I was once a Christian believer. And now I’m free
If you follow the life of Jesus Christ in the Gospels you will easily see that He preached non violence and thats the way He lived. Love God, love your neighbors and love your enemies. Anyone that doesn't live in the image of Jesus Christ and follows His teaching is no Christian
Jesus™ said he would save the world from sin. Thor said he would rid the world of ice giants Well, when's the last time you saw an ice giant? If you're going to pick an imaginary friend for emotional support, at least pick one that does what he says, dingbat. Superstition fails.
I find quite a few critical issues with this presentation, not least of which is a covert defense of islam (I didn't misspell, but simply refuse to captalize?). On at least two occasions, the statement is made that "islam" means "peace", which it does not. islam means "submission", which is certainly not applicable as "peace"? The commentators also repeat the falsehood that the Ark Of The Covenant makes an army invincible, something which a cursory reading of 1 Samuel 4:3-11 will totally disprove.
the word, itself, means submission, but the principle of Islam is peace. Of course, the Ark Of The Covenant did not make an army invincible but it is what they believed. In reality, biblical verses do not prove or disprove anything
Thank you for pointing this out. The documentary attempts to make Christianity and Islam seem basically the same. It takes a lot of reading to go through the bible, but only a short time to read the Quran. They're very different points of view. Islam makes references to Judaism, Christianity and reflects passages that can be found in the bible as if some of it was copied. The bible has stories with roots in earlier Mesopotamian writings and oral traditions. Leaders in both refuse to acknowledge earlier sources for so-called _inspiration._
It definitely doesn't mean peace and islam has been attempting to conquer the world since its inception. The fact that they claim that the middle east - particularly Israel - belongs to them and Israel has no right to exist is laughable. Islam wasn't created until 600years after Christ and hundreds more years after Judaism. The only reason we had to have the crusades is because these idiots muslims attacked Jerusalem. It isn't theirs. They stole it and we kicked their ass and took it back.
Whoever researched this video *failed to look at scriptural rationale* behind some of the wars. The writer failed to consider the _heavy criticism of Christians and Jews- a refrain throughout the Q. It resembles the tone of biblical passages which condemn Canaanites for any number of sins, thus giving Jews a rationale for not only settling the land, but clearing it (an attempt at genocide, which thankfully failed b/c it was half-hearted - well, according to the only account of it - which is found the bible). Reading the Q thoroughly reveals that after having read it wholly, a faithful reader would feel compelled to eliminate all of those who do no _submit_ to Islam, including doubters, which rank high as something akin to evildoers, rather than mere skeptics exercising caution.
Not nearly as honest about the evils of Islam as you should have been. Very sad to see the makers are either afraid or ignorant. So many unsightly details left out. A shame to hide from the truth.
Woe to those who have delighted in deceit, for the day of reckoning dawns not as a whisper but as a thunderous flood. Like pillars of salt, their wickedness shall stand exposed, crumbling under the piercing light that brooks no shadow. They shall be as chaff in the wind, scattered before the blade of truth, their screams lost in the wail of the tempest unleashed. Jac de Molay.
Luther was the fulfillment of Jon Hus' prophecy, that in 100 years a swan shall arise that cannot be silenced. The Catholic Church burned Hus at the stake for preaching the Gospel.
I think this is where a lot of people are heading. There always will be people trying to direct spirituality into something that will perpetuate fear. To control the masses of course. Even the New Age communities are resembling organized religions. Love is where we all should be headed. Hopefully the rest of it will drop away.
The crusades were not the bloodiest wars in history nor was it bloodiest wars in the medieval era the bloodiest wars of are three kingdoms war : 36,000,000- 40,000,000 ; an Lushan rebellion 13,000,000- 36,000,000;mongol conquest 30000000-40000000 ,conquest of Timur 8000000- 20000000 ;Taiping Rebellion 20,000,000-70,000,000; Russian civil war 7,000,000-12,000,000; Chinese Civil War 8,000,000-11,692,000; Second Sino-Japanese War 20,000,000-25,000,000; World War II 80,000,000 . While the crusades on of 200 years cost the lives of 1,000,000-3,000,000 you along with many atheists still called it the bloodiest war in history give me a break sure it was very important but not the bloodiest 🤦🏽♂️on the terms of casualties the crusades won’t even make it to the top 10 and it will barely get into the top 20,s
@@gorguan1167 nothing untrue, but the point was the omission that the reason Islam spread so quickly was that they subjugated people by violence, long before they went to war with the Christians.
@@LadyWhinesalot You are incorrect in the context, actually. The two early monotheistic religions, Judaism and Christianity, spread very slowly for hundreds of years, mainly due to their exclusivity. The Crusades, the inquisition, etc did not come along until 1000 years later. Islam is the only Abrahamic religion where the primary focus is to convert as many people to it as possible. According to the Quran, Muhammad was a merchant until he had the vision of Gabriel, and then he became a warlord. Either way, my point was just that the documentary glossed over how and why Islam spread so quickly.
@@_deepcalm_ Christianity aggressively converts others and did spread quickly... primarily by co-opting existing Pagan cultural and religious practices and later...by violence. Judaism, predating Christianity by thousands of years, does not need to spread as it doesn't *need* people to be Jewish. It is as much a religion as an ethnicity.
Another important reason for the success of the Turks was their superior military technology and art of war . These nomads from the Steppes could be credited with introducing ' the age of the horse .
they did not introduce horse warfare to Europa, since the Huns, the Avars, etc were more than 500 years before them. And the superior military technology was mainly artillery that came originally from Persia (or ultimately from India). Most of the famous weapons blacksmiths were Gypsies, who casted the Ottoman canons and very often also manouvered them in battle. It took the Europeans about 100 years to copy that form of artillery and as soon as they managed to master that technology, the Ottoman power started to decline.
What has always captured my imagination is the ebb and flow of cultural influence and religious coexistence between the hegemonic religion and the others. For example, when the almogorabids (I'm probably mispeling their name) berbers from north Africa wiped out the previous Muslim rulers in Spain, things were not very nice for all people. Or when Christianity spread through the Roman empire in late antiquity, all the violence against jews, pagans and other Christian sects.
Don’t blame religion for people wanting to kill each other. Take religion out of the equation and they find another reason to fight. In fact, most wars in human history had nothing to do with religion.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way..........

Sweetwater denotes fresh (non-brackish) water. Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near. Has important context as well regarding malaria. After major tsunami floods one might assume that many streams with sweetwater could become tainted with a degree of brackish status. The Bernese and the Sino-Chinese peoples made great early notes on such. Neither say “L” quite like the English so I suspect many German and Italian lowland marshes deemed “black water” were due to being “brackwater” sources. Just a contextual thought to add to oh so many names occurring in our histories (post-orientalizia of Mediterranean/Mesopotamian/European/the isles etc..)
My favorite is “Roman”.
My rabbit hole lead me to “Óman” using the context through linguistic hunt.
The pacific-Asian nations and Chinese use characters like the Egyptians used them. Words tell sequences over transliterated words. So you can copy paste a chinese/Japanese etc. word and note the meaning of each character and subtract and add back in such a way as to see the sequence of a race or a people group. I’ll leave it at that for y’all to play with but it has been a 100% accurate way thus far for me to understand better the bottleneck of our history. Worth playing with.
"Brack water was salt water and not good for setting up a village near." Humans require sodium for our nervous system to work; hence why, the further back we look at sapien's history, we/they all tended to live near the sea and/or rivers that carried salt. Without salt humans enter hyponatremia, brain swells and you die.
The bit on words is interesting. Does it tally with the use of music score?

Do the follow-up saying how secular humanism started the bloodiest cultural movements in human history in China and the Soviet Union
The great purge and the cultural revolution were not done in the name of secular humanism though.
Why would they lie? The Soviets were (and still are) Greek Orthodox and most of China was Confucianist, Taoist, and Buddhist. Atheists have only become the predominant demographic globally in the last 4 years. You were taught fake history. Secular humanism as an ideology cannot cause death, by definition.
Secular humanism was the real issue huh? Not communism? What about all the other secular humanist nations? (Scandinavia, Western Europe, etc.)
Precisely
Stupid comment.
That religious war aint complete when its still going on every single day in one way or another.
Still by the same people who caused massive wars across lands , trying to make others submit to their later formed religion
A little research suggests that the massacre of 65,000 Muslim & Jewish civilians by the crusaders in Jerusalem was not a “frenzy of bloodlust” but a response to an order given 3 days after the city had been taken because the Egyptian army was approaching & the army couldn’t control the civilian population & also fight the Egyptian army. War is heartless, especially in ancient times, but most massacres are a response to orders, not a simple frenzy - that whole idea is a bit silly.

Once Luther was able to read the Scriptures in his language he knew the pope was lying to him. God intended for evey person to read the Scriptures for themselves. Free will and free to choose for ourselves. Not forced religion

It doesn't sound like religion started these wars at all. Religion was used as a banner by the respective parties, but that's about it. If anything, religion offered a respite from war and provided hope for common understanding and peace.

Good video to fall asleep to 🇺🇸
Like most documentaries, makes the Christians sound like the bullies and the world was the victims. What they don’t impress upon in the documentary is that the Muslim Turks were coming into Christian lands as the aggressors and wanted to wipe out the Christian faith altogether. And the Crusaders knew they could not just continue to play defense they had to press forward and go on the offense Or risk losing Christianity for all future. But I still very much enjoyed this video very informative learned a lot of things I did not know before
Yes this video quickly became a joke. Once they started talking about how terrific Islam is I lost respect for it.
Cultural Marxism is real
The ottomans ruled the balkans for centuries and they are still christian dominant. They didnt try to wipe out christianity but they did bad things for sure.

The Mongols had no culture? What an absolutely stupid thing to say. Every people have a culture, that is part of what it means to be a people. As well Ghenghis Khan actually administered a huge empire and instituted the first "pony express".
he didn't say that...he said they brought no superior culture with them and that they "basically" had no culture. They were a nomadic people and had no established identifying culture at that time. Yes, the empire became huge but most of that was after his death. The idea of a "pony express" was actually introduced to Genghis Khan during the Chinese Song Dynasty and then expanded by his son
Plus they was originally a mish mash of different nomadic steppe tribes so yeah other then conquering and pillaging that mish mash of tribes didnt have that much in common
Mongols had a huge influence in much of Asian...even by side effect they changed other cultures...so they influenced history and had to have a culture to influence anothers
@@brodriguez7934 But the influence wasnt Mongol "culture" it was literally the agenda of one person that being whoever the Khan was at the time. Tengri the Mongolian Shamanistic religion wasnt spread to conquered peoples nor was any language or written systems ...Mongolian art or literature, science nothing that you could attribute to "culture" was adopted by anyone the Mongols conquered.
the only thing they influenced was the logistics and administration or ruling over an empire of different cultures and religjons ...tolerance of religion and ruling through autonomy was the biggest influence.

Didn’t say that. “they bring no superior culture with them” in reference to Islam. Which is definitely ethnocentric but not incorrect. The Mongols were not farmers, what they acquire they acquire through conquest. In this respect the statement is true.

The bizarre fawning over Islam is insufferable. It's like the whole concept of a documentary on Holy Wars in the Middle Ages is thrown out for 25 minutes so we can all learn about how wonderful and peaceful and tolerant and innovative and awesome Islam is. Also they invented romantic love (???).
So glad to see someone else that heard all of that too.
I laughed at the part they said that Muslims invented romantic love in their poetry. Out loud I said to no one in particular “I guess women beating is “love””
Growing up in a Islamic household was hell, I always used to ask why God sounds pissed off in Islam more than Christianity. Pray five times a day? You, can't do this and you can't do that. I rather go across the street to the Church where God is the friendlier and I don't have to work twice as hard. I was always told as a kid if you don't die a Muslim you're not going to heaven. All other religions are wrong and we are right. Behind closed doors that's what they say, it's nuts. And the so called prophet that everyone in Islam speaks highly of? We will call him "Moe" married a six year old girl and consummated their relationship when she was 9 and he 50. It's crazy how people are hypnotized by this and every Muslim will tell you stories as though they were there. Oh and the word of the Quran has NEVER been CHANGED, unlike the Christians and Jews which there text has, they claim.

Religion is the worst thing to happen to man.
It’s the best thing that happened to man before religion people killed each other and human life was like grass, religion teaches morality and righteous living. People want live life free with no consequences, adultery, fornication, lying, murder, envy, hate, etc. then when saying it’s sin, people don’t wanna hear it cause it goes against what they want to do. Each to their own. Human is inherently evil, religion is good so if people of religion are doing bad stuff it’s not the religion but the people within it
I understand what you’re saying humans can be cruel. But your not understanding what I’m saying. I guess we disagree. Religion is for the week. I don’t need a 2000 year old book to tell me how to have spirituality morals. I understand people need a friend in the sky looking out after them. Giving them laws that need to be updated. How about thou should not touch children. Maybe you should look into what I’m saying. Start with Thomas Paine book common sense. Friedrich Nietzsche. I was once a Christian believer. And now I’m free

They love using the word orgy in this documentary.
I find quite a few critical issues with this presentation, not least of which is a covert defense of islam (I didn't misspell, but simply refuse to captalize?). On at least two occasions, the statement is made that "islam" means "peace", which it does not. islam means "submission", which is certainly not applicable as "peace"? The commentators also repeat the falsehood that the Ark Of The Covenant makes an army invincible, something which a cursory reading of 1 Samuel 4:3-11 will totally disprove.
the word, itself, means submission, but the principle of Islam is peace. Of course, the Ark Of The Covenant did not make an army invincible but it is what they believed. In reality, biblical verses do not prove or disprove anything
I really dont think you can be using Bible verses as historical text to disprove anything
@@lozpopo, You're entitled to your opinion?
Thank you for pointing this out. The documentary attempts to make Christianity and Islam seem basically the same. It takes a lot of reading to go through the bible, but only a short time to read the Quran. They're very different points of view. Islam makes references to Judaism, Christianity and reflects passages that can be found in the bible as if some of it was copied. The bible has stories with roots in earlier Mesopotamian writings and oral traditions. Leaders in both refuse to acknowledge earlier sources for so-called _inspiration._
It definitely doesn't mean peace and islam has been attempting to conquer the world since its inception. The fact that they claim that the middle east - particularly Israel - belongs to them and Israel has no right to exist is laughable. Islam wasn't created until 600years after Christ and hundreds more years after Judaism. The only reason we had to have the crusades is because these idiots muslims attacked Jerusalem. It isn't theirs. They stole it and we kicked their ass and took it back.

Whoever researched this video *failed to look at scriptural rationale* behind some of the wars. The writer failed to consider the _heavy criticism of Christians and Jews- a refrain throughout the Q. It resembles the tone of biblical passages which condemn Canaanites for any number of sins, thus giving Jews a rationale for not only settling the land, but clearing it (an attempt at genocide, which thankfully failed b/c it was half-hearted - well, according to the only account of it - which is found the bible). Reading the Q thoroughly reveals that after having read it wholly, a faithful reader would feel compelled to eliminate all of those who do no _submit_ to Islam, including doubters, which rank high as something akin to evildoers, rather than mere skeptics exercising caution.

Nothing said was untrue, it praised many qualities as well
@@gorguan1167 nothing untrue, but the point was the omission that the reason Islam spread so quickly was that they subjugated people by violence, long before they went to war with the Christians.
Christianity was no different - violence
@@LadyWhinesalot You are incorrect in the context, actually. The two early monotheistic religions, Judaism and Christianity, spread very slowly for hundreds of years, mainly due to their exclusivity. The Crusades, the inquisition, etc did not come along until 1000 years later. Islam is the only Abrahamic religion where the primary focus is to convert as many people to it as possible. According to the Quran, Muhammad was a merchant until he had the vision of Gabriel, and then he became a warlord.
Either way, my point was just that the documentary glossed over how and why Islam spread so quickly.
@@_deepcalm_ Christianity aggressively converts others and did spread quickly... primarily by co-opting existing Pagan cultural and religious practices and later...by violence. Judaism, predating Christianity by thousands of years, does not need to spread as it doesn't *need* people to be Jewish. It is as much a religion as an ethnicity.
Another important reason for the success of the Turks was their superior military technology and art of war . These nomads from the Steppes could be credited with introducing ' the age of the horse .
they did not introduce horse warfare to Europa, since the Huns, the Avars, etc were more than 500 years before them. And the superior military technology was mainly artillery that came originally from Persia (or ultimately from India). Most of the famous weapons blacksmiths were Gypsies, who casted the Ottoman canons and very often also manouvered them in battle. It took the Europeans about 100 years to copy that form of artillery and as soon as they managed to master that technology, the Ottoman power started to decline.
the horse used in battle started 6000 years ago, where did you get your education?
@@ekesandras1481he’d just like to think his people where top of the range😂
What has always captured my imagination is the ebb and flow of cultural influence and religious coexistence between the hegemonic religion and the others.
For example, when the almogorabids (I'm probably mispeling their name) berbers from north Africa wiped out the previous Muslim rulers in Spain, things were not very nice for all people.
Or when Christianity spread through the Roman empire in late antiquity, all the violence against jews, pagans and other Christian sects.
Don’t blame religion for people wanting to kill each other. Take religion out of the equation and they find another reason to fight. In fact, most wars in human history had nothing to do with religion.
