Ten Myths of Modern Academia, Vol. 3 the Crusades: Ten Common Myths Found in College Texts and Lectures Explored and Exploded (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781980413325)

New chapters added on modern Muslim crusades etc. How accurate are President Obama's "history lessons" on Islam and the Crusades? Were the Crusaders mean and cruel "expansionists" looking for easy money and material gain, invading the peace loving Muslim communities of the Middle East? Or did they go over their heads in debt to respond to a cry for help from people in a situation much like you see today? Before you apologize to a Muslim for the Crusades, or fall in love with a Russel Crowe film about the Crusades, read this book. Volume three in the Myths of Modern Academia series focusing on the crusades. What motivated the crusaders? Was Islamic culture more advanced than Medieval Europe? Were the crusaders barbaric raiders into the lands of the peaceful and tolerant Muslims? How glorious was Saladin? Were the Arabs more chivalrous? Is memory of the crusades a driving force behind modern Muslim aggression and unrest? All these and more are examined in this volume of Ten Myths.
