Crusades History Distorted And Mislabeled.

Crusades History Distorted And Mislabeled. The modern media through TV and movies, like, “The Kingdom of Heaven,” has and continues to grossly distort history against Christendom. Christens are made to look power hungry and greedy, while the Islamic Jihad are represented as simply defending themselves. In the movie,” Kingdom of Heaven,” Saladin is presented as just and fair. Saladin appears to allow all to go free and leave Jerusalem. The truth is that only those who where able to buy their freedom were allowed to go. Those whom could not were sold into slavery. This was contrasted to the Christens who did massacre people in Jerusalem when they conquered the city. However, nothing is mentioned about the ruthless atrocities of the Muslim invaders in the past in their crusade to claim all territory as their own. This series of Islamic Crusades is what let Christendom to finally defend itself. This article is to shed some light on the true reason for the Christen Crusades and to counteract the misleading media campaign directed against them. * Starting in about 630 AD. Muhammad implements an extortion tax for protection from Islamic attack, one tax if they convert to Islam and another if you refuse to convert to Islam. This tax was then continued by the Caliphs after the death of Muhammad. 632 – 634, the Islamic Crusades conquer territory of polytheist Arabia. They were all forced convert to Islam or die, Khalid AL-Walid, conquers territory along the Euphrates today know as part of Iraq. Khalid captures and beheads so many that a nearby canal, into which the blood flowed, was called Blood Canal. 635 Islam conquers Damascus. 636 Muslim invaders have decisive win in Battle of Yarmuk. Muslims also conquer the remainder of Iraq at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah 638 Islam Crusaders conquer Jerusalem, from the Byzantines. 638-650 Islam conquer Iran, except along Caspian Sea. 639-642 Islamic Crusaders conquer Egypt. 641 Muslim Jihad controls Syria and Palestine. 643-707 Muslim Crusaders conquer North Africa. 644-650 Islam Crusaders establish Islamic rule in Iran, Afghanistan, and Sind. And conquer Cyprus, Tripoli in North Africa, 673-678 Arabs besiege Constantinople, capital of Byzantine Empire committing all kinds atrocities to Christens. 710-713 Muslim Jihad conquers the lower Indus Valley. also Spain and impose the kingdom of Andalus 732 The Muslim Crusaders are stopped at the Battle of Poitiers; that is, Franks (France) halt Arab advance. 789 Rise of Idrisid emirs (Muslim Crusaders) in Morocco; foundation of Fez; Christoforos, a Muslim who converted to Christianity, is executed. 807 Caliph Harun al-Rashid orders the destruction of non-Muslim prayer houses and of the Church of Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem. 809 – 901 Aghlabids (Muslim Crusaders) conquer Sardinia, Italy. Christians in Palestine are attacked; many flee the country. Muslim Crusaders capture of Palermo, Italy; raids in Southern Italy. Caliph al-Matawakkil orders the destruction of non-Muslim houses of prayer. Revolt of the Christians of Hims (Syria) Aghlabids (Muslim Crusaders) conquer Sicily, raid Corsica, Italy, France. 909 Rise of the Fatimid Caliphate in Tunisia; these Muslim Crusaders occupy Sicily, Sardinia. 928-969 Byzantine military revival, they retake old territories, such as Cyprus (964) and Tarsus (969). 937 The Church of the Resurrection (known as Church of Holy Sepulcher in Latin West) is burned down by Muslims; more churches in Jerusalem are attacked . 960 Conversion of Qarakhanid Turks to Islam 966 Anti-Christian riots in Jerusalem 969 Fatimids (Muslim Crusaders) conquer Egypt and found Cairo. 973 Israel and southern Syria are again conquered by the Fatimids. 1003 First persecutions by al-Hakim; the Church of St. Mark in Fustat, Egypt, is destroyed. 1009 Destruction of the Church of the Resurrection by al-Hakim (see 937) 1012 Beginning of al-Hakim’s oppressive decrees against Jews and Christians 1048 Reconstruction of the Church of the Resurrection completed 1055 Seljuk Prince Tughrul enters Baghdad, consolidation of the Seljuk Sultanate. 1055 Confiscation of property of Church of the Resurrection 1071 Battle of Manzikert, Seljuk Turks (Muslim Crusaders) defeat Byzantines and occupy much of Anatolia. 1071 Turks (Muslim) invade Palestine. 1073 Conquest of Jerusalem by Turks (Muslim Crusaders) 1075 Seljuks (Muslim Crusaders) capture Nicea (Iznik) and make it their capital in Anatolia. 1076 Almoravids (Muslim Crusaders) conquer western Ghana. 1085 Toledo is taken back by Christian armies. 1086 Almoravids (Muslim Crusaders) send help to Andalus, Battle of Zallaca. 1090-1091 Almoravids (Muslim Crusaders) occupy all of Andalus except Saragossa and Balearic Islands. 1094 Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus I asks western Christendom for help against Seljuk invasions of his territory; Seljuks are Muslim Turkish family of eastern origins. 1095 Pope Urban II preaches first Crusade; they capture Jerusalem in 1099 * *Notice - The black is the Byzantine Empire, the rest of the shaded territory represent the lands taken in Muslim Conquest before the Christen Crusades Began. The small map shows the land that previously belonged to the Byzantine Empire. Notice that Christendom, especially the Byzantine Empire, were dessimated by Islamic attack. Not only that but the Western Empires were also attacked by Muslim extremist. Spain was at one time totally in Muslim Control, but was retaken by the Franks. Italy and France were also under attack. It is quite surprising that the West put up with this for as long as it did. We are talking almost 500 years of Muslim aggression. Given the current state of affairs, it is enlightening to know that Christians had justifiable reasons for defending themselves against Muslim aggression and conquest. And that the Christian Crusades was not based on an idea of power and greed, but was necessary to save Christendom from total annihilation.

We Can't Be Ignorant Or Apathetic On The First Amendment Any Longer!

You know the old joke, One guy says to another, “I Feel people are too ignorant and apathetic to the state of affairs in our government. Don't you agree? The second guy replies, “I don't know and I don't care.” It is only a matter of time that this attitude of the people, like an angry pit bull, will rise up and bite them in the buttocks. Here is a video that demonstrates how ignorant the general population is the Constitution and in particular to the First Amendment So What is the First Amendment? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. It is pretty simple to understand and that is why I find it strange that so many people have it wrong. Let me ask you, where does it say that there is to be a separation of church and state? It doesn't say that does it? In fact, the clause, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” So where do we get the idea that prayer in public schools is not aloud? Where do we get the idea that Church and State should be separated? The truth is that the First Amendment protects the Church from the State, not the other way around. Some other very important rights are in the amendment, the right of free speech, the right of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances. Also the due process clause in the 14th Amendment is connected to the First Amendment as per ruling of the supreme court. This applies to the States and Local Government. Let's See What the Founding Fathers said about he First Amendment. On Religion - "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798 John Adams The Law given from Sinai [The Ten Commandments] was a civil and municipal as well as a moral and religious code.

John Quincy Adams. Letters to his son. p. 61

Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." [Source: To James McHenry on November 4, 1800.] Charles Carroll - signer of the Declaration of Independence God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech

Benjamin Franklin: | Portrait of Ben Franklin

On right to Free Press - I am... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents. -- Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799. ME 10:78 On the right to assemble peaceably - A pure democracy is a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person.

James Madison

Let's all make the extra effort to know the constitution, what is and what it isn't, what is written in it, and why it is written. Let's go back and read what the Founding Fathers wrote, so we can better understand what they intended. And better yet, understand the principles that make this country great.

Peace to You, Merry Christmas To Y'all, And Become Aware!

Just wishing the best for you and your family this Blessed Holy Day of Christmas. I believe the future holds great things for you and your family. But one thing must happen to secure this future. It is a global awakening of what is going on. A knowledge of the worldly powers that are evil and want to run your life as a slave to a global government. The same powers that want to take Christ out of Christmas. We need to unite for freedom everywhere. If you live in the US, like I do, you must start to realize that both the Democrats and Republican have insiders who represent the global government.I'm not going to get into this in depth, but do your homework. It certainly worth it. Slow down your life and listen to God and what is going on around you. Don't be so absorbed into yourselves. That's what happens as we get busy. The elite powers like this as it keeps us out of the way. Anyway, I really want to concentrate on Christmas. It is interesting how the video asks that every child must be made aware, and that every child must be made to care, care enough for his fellow man. Give more Love! 

 When I chose to use this video on my blog, I didn't know how well it ties into what I wrote above. But it does and I'm glad, and the Holy Spirit deserves the credit for that. I want to share this video with you. I remember watching this video with my Dad in the recreation room of our house. My Dad is passed away over 30 years now and I miss him. It was at night and I have always been impressed with the video. How Christmas can bring together generations and people of all nations for the Glory of God. This includes my Dad and I , as we were so different during that time period. I respect him more now, appreciate him more through the years as he sacrificed much for his family. Love ya Dad! I honor you Dad. See you in Heaven if it be the will of God. Praise be Jesus!

In this video we see Bing Crosby and David Bowie perform the song “Little Drummer Boy”. You would think how did they get two people so different to perform a song together? Maybe it has to do about the Baby Jesus. All things are possible through Christ Jesus! That must be it. Right? God Bless, Merry 

Christmas, and a prosperous New Year to Y'all.

I will videos back in. They where taken down for some unknown reason. They were worth watching.

Finally, You Need To Watch This Documentary.

I would suggest you watch the full version of this movie. Excellent!!! 5 stars!



I hope you can sleep tonight. It's time to to spread the truth to all your friends and neighbors.

The Future Of Freedom In America And The World Uncertain. - part 5

Alex Jones had a terrific show the other day. This guy really did his homework. He first interviews Congressman Ron Paul, who ran for the republican presidential nomination. Then Jones breaks down how the New World Order System Operates. And Finally interviews Bob Chapman. Bob has some great suggestions on how you can protect yourself.

THESE VIDEOS WHERE TAKEN DOWN . SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS, “ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT.”

Whitney Houston Tops All Past Recordings With Her Best Song Ever. The World Needs To Look To You!

I'm so glad to hear Whitney Houston come back. I really believe she has the best voice of all time. Maybe it would be a toss up between Whitney and Celine Dion. Celine did not run into the same obstacles as Whitney but, I think Whitney will come back even stronger as a result of her struggle.

This song not only cements her faith in God, but is what our country and the world really needs right now. In the face of a Global Government Takeover, and the loss of Freedom for all sovereign nations, such as the United States, we all over the world must pray for freedom. After you hear this song whether you be a Catholic or Protestant Christian, be sure to say an intense prayer for the world. We have 10 days of Freedom Left if the Copenhagen treaty is signed. Try to say a prayer for the next 10 days.





Here is a really logical and great recording.




Another good video.






Keep informed and Pray. Take Action Now!
