What disgraceful betrayal. Europe allowed itself to be nibbled away at the edges for too long.

@samsonsoturian6013 No but the many kingdoms and empires of Christendom then as now shared a common enemy.

@ruskyalmond1977 Islam was eating up the Christian world from the 630s, and took a third of it (the most important third - the areas we now call the middle east and north Africa). Yes Christendom was never united or that could never have happened. There was a brief period known as the Crusades where there was a an effort to reverse the conquests, but it wasn't till Napoleon broke the Mamelukes at the Pyramids that Islam began its decline, and the threat to Europe was ended - for the time being.

@ruskyalmond1977 'The Crusades' were a pan European project that ought to have been maintained as the infidel encroached on European land proper. The Ottomans would have been eliminated by a united effort. Do you disagree?

@ruskyalmond1977 Muslim societies did not 'allow Christians and Jews to flourish'; they were third class citizens in their own lands.. You know absolutely nothing on this subject.

@ruskyalmond1977 The Turks took child slaves from Christian villages. Who do you think the Janissaries were, volunteers? You have zero knowledge of this subject just politically correct false histories.
