Some comments on the Crusades

Thanks to Mr. Rahman for sharing his highly informative article on the Crusade. As we all know, the Christian Crusade against Islam and the Muslim world never really stopped, not even when our problem first surfaced around the early 20th century with the betrayal of the Arabs against the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Freemasonic coup detat by the Kemalist Young Turks. That is why, when Gen. Allenby landed in Syria after the conquest of the territory, he was heard saying in front ot the grave of Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi (R) that the Crusaders were back, and that "Today the Crusade has ended." Soon the Muslim crescent - the vast territories in what is called the Middle-East -- would be divided into a few kingdoms and sheikhdoms, Turkey itself sized to the barest minimum, and the cancerous state of Israel created displacing some 722,000 inhabitants.

In the last 60 plus years, the Muslim world has seen nothing but a repetition of that Crusading mindset from Christian dominated West and its new partner the Zionists - bent on humiliating us physically, economically, intellectually and every way. And the way things are with our people, which has become a nation of zero plus zero plus zero ...., I don't see anything good happening to our people before the major battle (which the Christians call Armageddon) takes place.

Can you now imagine how embarrassing it would be for Muslims to see a Christian Church in the land of the Prophet (S) - a country that does not have a single Christian? If symbolism is all that matters, will the Vatican allow Muslims to build a mosque there? How about in Athens? Unlike Vatican, there are some 300,000 Muslims that live in the city, most of them as citizens (not foreign workers). But there is not a single mosque in the city. A new mosque was supposed to be built there with Muslim money by last year; but that, too, did not complete yet. (See: http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2009/02/athens-muslims-upset-at-mosque-delays.html) After years of requests and pleading to the government officials, only in 1995 could the Muslims in Rome have a mosque there. And all this in a country that has nearly 1 million Muslims (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Italy). Now to ask for allowing to build a mosque in the Prophet's land shows Papal selective amnesia and arrogance! Places of worship are for people to pray, not for post-card display as symbols. When, and if, there are local Saudi Christians big enough to require a site for congregation, Muslims will have no problem allowing such a construction. But to imagine it today, with zero Saudi Christian population, it is simply silly.

But don't be surprised if the House of Saud caves into Crusadic demand. When the tiger knows that you are its supper, it has no qualms about dining mannerism.

Just three more comments on the write-up:
1. Sultan Salahuddin recaptured Jerusalem, by most reliable accounts, in 1187 and not 1186, some 88 years after the fall of the city.
2. During the first Crusade (1099) there was no Temple of Solomon standing. Muslims prayed in two mosques on the temple mount - Al-Aqsa and the Masjid of Umar (Dome of Rocks - which is shown in the post-cards). The world Jewry and Christian fundamentalists long to destroy both, esp. the al-Aqsa masjid. Knowing that it could lead to a massive war with the Muslim world, these forces often mislead the world by presenting the Dome of Rock as al-Aqsa mosque (while it is not), as part of their calculated deception. Thus, when they have demolished the Al-Aqsa (for constructing their Temple of Solomon, as part of making the way for the coming Messiah) they would show that the mosque was still intact (by showing actually the other mosque - Dome of Rock). May Allah help us from such conspiracy and the resulting calamity!
3. As everyone knows there were many guys like Ibn Warrq, Ayman Hirsi Ali, Ali Sina, Abul Kasem and Syed Kamran Mirza (actul name Dr. Khorshed A. Chowdhury of USDA) that made names for anti-Islamic polemics in the aftermath of 9/11. Nothing should therefore surprise us that a person born to a Muslim family was baptized by the pope. I am told that for every such renegade from Islam, this religion has seen at least five better ones to join in - who seem to be better equipped to carry the message.So the battle for the soul goes on. But at the end, it is not the quantity that matters, it is the quality that we should all strive for.
