Islam aiheisia kuvia

Tässä kuva paraatista, joka pidettiin ennen hyökkäystä Jerusalemiin. Kun varuskunta lopulta antautui, suurin piirtein koko kaupungin juutalainen ja muslimiasujamisto teurastettiin.

Tässä vähän ns. Lasten ristiretkestä.

"Stephen sent other young leaders to the towns around France to raise an even larger army. By June 1212 , 30,000 children had gathered in Vendome...

...In the middle of August, Stephen led his group into the city of Marseilles. By the time they reached the city their numbers had been reduced from 20,000 to only about 7,000 children !...

...Saddened by the loss of their comrades, the remainder of the children's army sailed on. When at last they sighted land, they assumed that the distant hills were the very ones on which their Lord had walked 13 centuries before. They were wrong. The crusaders were nowhere near Palestine. The land before them was the northern coast of Africa. The city that rose gleaming from the horizon was not Jaffa, the gateway to Jerusalem. It was the North African port of Bujeiah.
The captains of the ships had not made a mistake; they had business in Bujeiah. Porcus and Ferreus had arranged to sell the crusaders- children and adults alike- into slavery.
