One of my blog posts was a deep post talking about the crusaders. Two Religions were in a conflict to take the holy city of Jerusalem. I used characters such as: The Prophet Muhammad for the Muslims, and Jesus for the Christians. Also I used a number of people to show the quantity of people that were in the battlefield, and also shows a specific piece of evidence to make the Blog post more interesting. Also I used popular cities that a lot of people know and want to know about, the Holy City of Jerusalem. And finally I used other religion facts, such as the Christians and Muslims, but not really the Jews because they weren't really involved in the conflict. 

Lost Islamic History (Crusaders)

By: Abdullah Saleh

         The great interesting history continues as the road continues and stops at the Crusades. Where this long war took place in Jerusalem. This city was stated that it's holy to Muslims, Jews, and Christians, for Christains, it is the city where Jesus preached, was crucified and resurrected. For Muslims, it's holiness stems from the belief that Porphet Muhammad miraculously travelled from the city of Mecca to Jerusalem in one night and then from Jerusalem to Heaven to speak to God.
         In the Islamic world, the crusades was a disaster, were about 70,000 people were massacred. In the Al-Aqsa mosque, where Muslims believe Prophet Muhammad led all previous prophets in prayer, the blood of Muslim civilians was up to the shins of the conquerors. But not only te Mulsims suffered, also Jews and Christains suffered, where synagogues were destroyed.

LOST ISLAMIC HISTORY

              The lost Islamic History book continues talking about the accomplishments and disasters. In this next chapter it talks about the Upheaval of the Muslims, where it talks about when the Muslims serperated into different groups, and one of these groups were called the "Isma'ilism", this group was based off one of the major groups called Shia'a. They had very similar beliefs, just little differences.
              Another group was called the "Fatimids", the Farimids very disliked the biggest group of Muslims called "Sunnis". They were more friends with the Ismalis, they believed that it was their duty to entirely take over North Africa and establish an Ismali rule.

Independent Book

By: Abdullah Saleh

My independent book will be a continue of "Lost Islamic History", this book explains the accomplishments, fights, and history of Islam. Its a very interesting book, it also talks about the religion it self, which I myself follow. But it also talks about the conflicts between other religions and the same religion, which had a conflict between 2 major beliefs in the religion Islam.
One major belief and are the most populist are called the Sunnis, they believed right what came from the Prophet Muhammad's mouth and especially God. The second major Belief is Sheism, they switched a little stuff around were they believe that the Prophets cousin should be the Prophet instead. And this played a major role, so their were conflicts between them and is still running today.

Lost Islamic History( The Abbasid Revolution)

By: Abdullah Saleh

           The Abbasids took there name from Prophet pbuh uncle (Abbas). They were settled from east of the Jordan River after the conquest of Syria, Rumors started spreading that a descendant of a caliph named Ali had to transfer the right to rule Abbasids. The Abbasids were more related to the Prophet then the Umayyads a strong Muslim group before the Abbasids. 

           In 747 the Abbasids declared their open revolt unfurlying their distinctive black banners in the skies above the city of Turkmenistan. These revolutionaries were lead by a person named Abu Muslim,he was a part of the Abbasids. He was a smart political military leader, which he secured control of land. which was a base movement for him.   

Lost Islamic History Part 2

          After the successful caliphs, the Muslims thought of establishing a Muslim state, which eventually they did, and it was ruled by a leader named Moawiah. Him and the previous caliph had problems between each other, but both of them were great inspirational leaders. A decision Moawiah made that would make him a controversial character and change the nature of Islamic government is that he appointed his son Yazid as his successor before his death.

          After many struggles the Muslims had, a former Byzantine official, Julian, appealed to the new Muslim expeditionary was under his care. Julian promised to a ferry Muslim expeditionary force across the strait of Spain to seek his revenge on the tyrant king. Also many other Muslim leaders traveled to other countries such as India; Many early Indians who converted to Islam to Buddhists and members of the lower cast.
