Muslim Eyewitness Describes Brutality of Crusaders and Richard I (1187 - 1191) // Baha Ad-Din 

I wonder what language they used to converse with each other?

What a way to teach the youth how the men fight. All the way down to the taking of prisoners for ransom as opposed to just killing.

@@bananaboy444 taking prisoners for ransom was very common before the 19th century. This is because usually men will be wounded in battle and lying down, giving the victor the option to either strike a death blow or take captive for ransom. Ransom was an incredibly big source of wealth. The Aztecs, Turks, and Europeans did this; though I havent heard of the Japanese do this

Its pretty regular in war and shows up a lot in history Happened during ww1 too

I wonder how that would effect you mentally to share friendly words with someone then to have to switch to killing them. I wonder how many men had nightmares or a lifetime of pain and remorse because of these small acts of humanity during war. I couldn't imagine how that must have felt.

I’ve got a very short interesting one. As you may or may not know animal sacrifice is completely forbidden in Christianity and is regarded as something strictly pagan, but it seems like the Teutonic Knights picked up some pagan practises from the Baltic natives while living alongside them and there’s a little bit of evidence that they started to sacrifice animals and give ‘offerings’ to the Christian God like the pagans do for their Gods. *When the battle was over, the brothers [Teutonic knights] and their allies all dismounted onto the grass and their hearts were happy. Their rage rightly disappeared when they found they had lost no one, and for this they praised Jesus Christ, Savior of the World, Who was worthy of their honor. They divided the weapons and horses equally, and a share was set aside for God in heaven. The whole land benefited from this expedition.* This practice is mentioned in greater detail in a description of a sacrifice of booty performed after a successful raid in Samogithia *The Christians took all the booty they could carry, and then devastated the land with fire and returned home. When they came back to Riga and when the townspeople heard how things had gone well for them, they all immediately praised God in heaven for having mercifully defended Christendom with this expedition. With the counsel of his brothers, the master gave a part of the booty to our Lord, because he had given them a safe journey. He had earned His share, and they gave Him weapons and horses.* It’s a matter of what they mean by ‘they gave him weapons and horses.’ It sounds like they sacrificed horses to Jesus or something.

@@luxinvictus9018 But they’re not literally offering those sheep as a sacrifice to Jesus, right? Cause that would be wrong. You don’t give offerings or sacrifice to Jesus in Christianity since Jesus is meant to represent the last and ultimate sacrifice (so there’s no need for sacrifice). In fact, the first thing Christians did to undermine paganism in the Roman Empire when they got into power was to ban animal sacrifice. You have to remember that the main reason why Christians were so heavily persecuted in the Roman Empire was because they refused to make any animal sacrifices. You can only pray to God in Christianity or do charity. As for sheep entrails, it’s actually considered a kind of delicacy in many parts of the world. The entrails are usually stuffed with rice and other stuff from what I know.

@@bensenders4716 I think the trinity might derive from Hellenic influence, especially Greek philosophy like Plato.

Ayyubids regime authority is only around Baghdad. Fatimid regime the ruler of Egypt, jerusalem not ayyubids.

@@trying3650 That's the Abbasids you're thinking of. The Ayyubids, founded by Saladin, overthrew the Fatimid Caliphate and were eventually overthrown by the Mamluks

Indeed! Siege of Akkah (1291 CE): The Mamlukes of Egypt and Syria defeated the Latin Crusaders, taking the last remaining major Latin Crusader stronghold in the Levant, and decisively put an end to the Latin crusading endeavor in the region.

EDIT "Secondly, how do you feel about the other video that this channel also made that was explicitly covering the crusades from the point of view of the crusaders?" It was a highly deceptive work that carefully chose quotes while leaving others out. "Also, since you provided a question, I'll provide a possible answer: 1. They just haven't yet." Then they should get to it "2. They only wanted to do these videos to cover the crusades which are a more well known chapter in history so that they can get more clicks." Somewhat true but content on the earlier muslim attacks should garner attention "3." A guys belief about events from over 500 years ago should differ in quality from what happened just yesterday. "4. Since the account of John of Nikon is not eyewitness, it is generally speaking not consistent with the overall theme of this channel including journals and eyewitness accounts from particular eras."

that is blatantly false.

"Montesquieu is wrong" - me

That’s an oversimplification. Montesquieu actually thought very highly of Christianity and was among one of most pro-Christian enlightenment writers. In his 1751 book (The Spirit of Laws) he even wrote a defence of Christianity against its critics: “The Christian religion, which ordains that men should love each other, would, without doubt, have every nation blest with the best civil, the best political laws; because these, next to this religion, are the greatest good that men can give and receive. The Christian religion is a stranger to mere despotic power. The mildness so frequently recommended in the Gospel is incompatible with the despotic rage with which a prince punishes his subjects, and exercises himself in cruelty. As this religion forbids the plurality of wives, its princes are less confined, less concealed from their subjects, and consequently have more humanity: they are more disposed to be directed by laws, and more capable of perceiving that they cannot do whatever they please. While the Mahometan princes incessantly give or receive death, the religion of the Christians renders their princes less timid, and consequently less cruel. The prince confides in his subjects, and the subjects in the prince. How admirable the religion which, while it only seems to have in view the felicity of the other life, continues the happiness of this! Let us set before our eyes, on the one hand, the continual massacres of the kings and generals of the Greeks and Romans, and, on the other, the destruction of people and cities by those famous conquerors Timur Beg and Jenghiz Khan, who ravaged Asia, and we shall see that we owe to Christianity, in government, a certain political law; and in war, a certain law of nations - benefits which human nature can never sufficiently acknowledge. It is owing to this law of nations that among us victory leaves these great advantages to the conquered, life, liberty, laws, wealth, and always religion, when the conqueror is not blind to his own interest. We may truly say that the people of Europe are not at present more disunited than the people and the armies, or even the armies among themselves were, under the Roman empire when it had become a despotic and military government. On the one hand, the armies engaged in war against each other, and, on the other, they pillaged the cities, and divided or confiscated the lands. From the characters of the Christian and Mahometan religions, we ought, without any further examination, to embrace the one and reject the other: for it is much easier to prove that religion ought to humanise the manners of men than that any particular religion is true. It is a misfortune to human nature when religion is given by a conqueror. The Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword, acts still upon men with that destructive spirit with which it was founded.”

That’s be great. I’m not Sikh but I’m fascinated by the idea that a religion of dharma can embrace a warrior class & combat imagery , hence their sword symbol.

@@Sprite_525 Sikhism composed of two ideas...we have 10 gurus ...First 5 are saints... second 5 are called Saint Soldiers....which means believe in one god .. respect all religions..follow the path of Dharma...but when someone is doing tyranny to inferior... doing injustice...don't be a bystander ...come forward to defend that the victim even if it costs ur life...never fight for anger or revenge..but for righteous cause...even learn to forgive those who wronged you.... In medivial times Sikhs used to let go the enemy if he had lost his weapon on the ground...spare enemies' women and children..which was a contrast on enemies part when it comes to their turn of dealing with Sikhs...u must read a lot about 6 th guru and 10 th guru
