>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious…. Christianity, alcohol—the two great means of corruption.

You should atleats be able to ask yourself this, why did they go the Crusades at all, if everything happens because of economic motivations?

Islam is a regressive religion.

It is more apt to waste resources thatn apply them.

Unlike the Gospels which preach a spiritual life and can be obfusucated; the Quaran and other Islamic texts are very clear on the order of society.

Fundamentalism is much more likely to take hold and put restrictions on culture and the induvidual than Christianity.

Jerusalem was not the only place where crusades took place. Of course, there was an ideological justification, just as fake and beautiful as any other through history.

I'm just saying you can't skirt over history playing the blame game just because it suits you.

The Islamic world was in a bad place so they decided to expand their lands. Two and a half centuries later when the Christian world was also facing a similar problem they decided to do the same. I'm tired of arguing with the """"Christians"""" on this website who have a constant agenda to keep trying to excuse what happened a long time ago because it doesn't suit their interests. At the end of the day it was human greed/fear that led to the crusades even occurring.

On an another note, the Crusades occurred approximately 250 years after the lands were stolen. That'd be equivalent to the Native Americans bombing the country 8 years from now.

I think the crusades are VERY overrated anyways in terms of middle age wars. It was never some terrible bloodbath, it was never a chivalrous defense of the evil muslims, nor was it the evil christians murdering innocent peasants in the name of God either. The crusades just serve as a piece of history for people to shove their ideology into to draw parallels to the "west vs islam" tension there is today. The fucking death count between all 9 crusades were 1-3 million. That is absolutely minuscule compared to the death toll of Genghis Khan and Tamerlane.

I'm not syaing people weren't motivated by god. I'm saying they weren't solely motivated by god. Pope Francis offered salvation for everyone who want died... but he also offered the riches from the Islamic cities as well as Knighthood to everyone who went and survived.

Yeah, Nietzsche is pretty ill informed on eastern religions other than Buddhism. His issues with Hinduism can be blamed on a bad translation of the laws of Manu though.

Islam he was just mostly ignorant on and purely romanticized it. Schopenhauer appreciated Islam because it treated women like dirt and he was probably the biggest misogynist in western philosophy, which is an accomplishment considering most philosophers at least disliked women.

>>7762913
Ironically some of the greatest theology of the 20th century came out of theologians who accepted Nietzsche's premise of god being dead as true.

Of course when Nietzsche says god is dead, he isn't talking about the death of an entity, he's talking about the west moving away from god and religion as a source of moral values. Nietzsche sees the death of god with a mixture of hope and terror. He hopes that we will recreate pro-human values, create values that allow men to flourish as the ultimate artistic beings. But he's equally terrified that we will fail and see human civilization fall into pessimistic nihilism. Though the west will suffer this first, if the west will suffer it, so will all races of men one day. The west began, just before his time, to invent and appropriate new idols to worship instead. Democracy, liberalism, socialism, anarchism, feminism, humanism, all of this shit was just the west trying to plug the holes in a sinking ship.

Nietzsche is prophetic in his very limited political writings. He essentially identifies that the 20th century would be a century of renewed crusades, but in the name of these ideologies rather than in the name of traditional religion. Fascism vs capitalism, socialism vs fascism, socialism vs capitalism, he said the 20th century would be incredibly bloody.

He said that the west would not seriously begin to address its underlying nihilism problem until the mid 21st century. Most of Spengler's work comes out of Nietzsche's understanding of this course of events.

maybe a few scholars had an accurate concept of Islam as an independent religion, but this knowledge was far from widespread. Islam was, in the best of cases, described as an heretical christian sect, sometimes even a polytheistic pagan cult. eg. in the Song of Roland (11th c.) muslims are portrayed as worshipping idols of Muhammad and Apollo, together with another divinity known as Termagant.

>> No.7763600

Most of the medieval texts make it clear that Christians in Europe were not particularly aware of what Muslims believed or did, thus the depictions of them worshipping Apollo in The Song of Roland, worshipping Muhammad's head in several sources, or medieval histories saying that Muhammad was a renegade Cardinal who started his own church after being passed up for Pope.

Also, the centuries-old Muslim conquests we're not really the reason why the Crusades were started. The main impetus was the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre by the Fatimid sultan al-Hakim. Al-Hakim is interesting because he was also hated by Muslims, and was and is universally considered a madman (except by the Druze, who believe he was Allah incarnate).

Let's be honest here, the motivation for the Crusades was a big fat lie. The land they conquered was lawfully Byzantine, but they refused to give it back. Why?

When Constantinople fell in 1453, which mighty Christian army helped defend it? None. Instead, the Germanic knights were killing fellow Christians in the Baltics. The only reason for the existence of 3 Muslim countries in Europe today (Bosnia, Albania and Kosovo) is the Berlin Congress of 1878, in which Austria insisted those people are not to be expelled or killed. German "defense of Christianity" is a farce, and thereby are all Crusades. The only peoples who really defended Europe from Islam*, where the spiritual and genetic successors of Greco-Roman antiquity: Spain, Southern Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. And they never crusaded - a Christian doesn't need to crusade, because his live adheres already to the laws of Christ. So much for that.

If I recall, Alexios was leading the flower of the Byzantine army to relieve Antioch, when Stephen of Blois, who was deserting the cause, met him on the road and convinced him the crusaders were dead.

The Crusaders at antioch would end up having to defeat the combined armies of Mosul alone.

Bohemond would later piss off the emperor, leading to a forced march on Antioch and the submission of Antioch to the empire. As Antioch was the de-jure capital of all Syria, this placed the entire region under nominal Roman jurisdiction.

It wasn't all glory for the Empire, though. Both crusaders and Imperials marched on Damascus, but infighting led to muslim fanatics taking over instead. The Empire bankrupted itself to finance an armada to take Egypt, but the KOJ contingent never arrived.

The failure of subsequent emperors to reign in the barbarians really sheds new light on the ability of Alexius to turn a potential disaster into a win.

Not how Roman Catholics understand it. If you asked Saint Peter to proclaim himself Caesar, he would have been horrified. He certainly never, ever defined dogma on his own, either, he didn't even preside over the Counsel of Jerusalem, Saint James the Just did.

The Roman Catholic understanding of the Papacy is completely fabricated

That picture makes some sense as a very idealistic picture of an individual, but it's a fickle justification for the actions of a group of people - a nation, race, coalition, whatever. For instance, look at the response of the united states to 9/11. Nobody here says that terrorists aren't evil. Everybody cries for the victims and writes songs for the heroic firefighters. No group of people are so dominant over another that - and no conflict at any point in history has been so simply bully/victim - that the bully can rightfully claim that they haven't cried and called the victim an evil bully when they punched back once in a while. That picture would only apply if it was europe vs. the rest of the world, europe always won, and never had a reason to complain or complained. Conflict is never so simple that even the victor doesn't moralize its loss at some point. So you're a poor spokesman for Europe.
You're just an idiot when you say "we are europe, our dicks our bigger" and then when someone else has a bigger dick than a European and everyone cries about it, then when your dicks are big again go back to being dicks.
Going philosophically extra-moral can have a case made for it. But it really is more complicated than these guys won these guys lost.

Anon that picture is made to get people angry and heated up.

Don't look too deeply into it, everybody on some level realizes that it's just bait and that things go much deeper than that.

Also, the combination of glorification of conquering with reverence to a religion named after Jesus Christ is some of the most dissonant possible cognition.

What about them? They sure as hell don't have the power to define dogma on their own, and they certainly are not claiming the title of Caesar.
