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.
