As man is easily led astray, one crusade may eventually become another... Set against the backdrop of the Old World, two adventurers--both seasoned warriors--will quest across a Western Europe ablaze with the turmoil of a newly begun Fourth Crusade. Denz, a holy Templar, and Esteban, a roguish mercenary, may have different origins, but their motivations are the same: amidst the danger and despair of a new Crusade, to find the means to deliver themselves from a terrible curse that threatens to consume their immortal souls. Embark on a contentious quest for retribution spanning five chapters and 40 missions that promises to bring fire, death, and destruction to the great cities of medieval Europe. Transform the world around you into a flaming red vision of Hell, increasing your strength and your ability to perceive hidden things, all at the expense of your humanity. Split-screen or online, recruit a friend to assume control of the thief, Esteban, to join in the excitement of shared adventure. Easy to grasp yet deep in its execution, a weapon-based combat engine features over 90 combos, 130+ weapons, and a timing-based counter system. Available Summer 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. For more information, visit: www.TheCursedCrusade.com

"Crusades" tells the compelling, often horrific, story of the fanatics and fantasists, knights and peasants who were caught up in these fervent times. It reveals how Muslims, Jews and Christians were massacred, and how the Crusades sowed the seeds of 'jihad', the holy war for Islam, a legacy that endures today.

The third single from Deastro's Moondagger harnesses Randolph Chabot's positive outlook, hiding a humble plea for a better world inside a bright synth-rock anthem with macabre undertones. "Toxic Crusaders" envisions a world in which cyclops babies are born from broken families, the symbol of their sins etched in genetic mutation; Chabot plays the hopeful soothsayer, positioning himself as a "prophet of how things should be." But while "Toxic Crusaders" features some of Deastro's headier lyrical feats, musically its all muscle, featuring stutter-step guitars, blazing synthesizers, and hard-hitting drums, with an unforgettable whistle-while-you-work hook in the chorus. ghostly.com

At its height in the second century AD, the Roman Empire was the beacon of learning, power, and prosperity in the western world. But the once-powerful Rome - rotten to the core by the fifth century - lay open to barbarian warriors who came in wave after wave of invasion, slaughtering, stealing, and ultimately, settling. As chaos replaced culture, Europe was beset by famine, plague, persecutions, and a state of war that was so persistent it was only rarely interrupted by peace. THE DARK AGES profiles those who battled to shape the future, from the warlords whose armies threatened to cause the demise of European society, such as Alaric, Charles the Hammer, and Clovis; to the men and women who valiantly tended the flames of justice, knowledge, and innovation including Charlemagne, St. Benedict, Empress Theodora, and other brave souls who fought for peace and enlightenment. It was in the shadows of this turbulent millennium that the seeds of modern civilization were sown.
NOTE: WHY DO I USE THE WORD "CRUSADE"? In the two years since I posted this series I have received messages from many Christians stating that they are offended by the word "crusade" (a derivation of "cross") being associated with Islamic violence. I chose to use that word because The Crusades are something that most in the post-modern, politically correct West recognize as "evil." Many westerners are still not acquainted with the real meaning of words like "jihad," "shariah," "dhimmis", etc. Hopefully in 2010 more people DO understand the true meaning of those words. In short, I chose the word "crusades" to highlight that Christians were not the only ones who fought religious wars of conquest. My intention was not to insult Christianity. Christianity is a religion of peace that is sometimes used by extremists to justify violence. Islam is a religion of war. I pray for the day when these videos are no longer needed. Until that day I will keep the name "Islamic Crusades." *For complete transcript, references and commentary visit the Occidental Soapbox blog*: occidentalsoapbox.blogspot.com The story continues from Episode 6 and addresses the plight of Hindus on the Indian subcontinent in the modern era.

Crusade by Voltaire from his album 'Then and Again' Long ago I went to war To fight the scourge of Christendom I held aloft my blessed sword And said "By god, let them come!" They said their eyes are red as flame I heard it told, from hell they came Their breath is fire their tongues are forked Thus are the beast of dragon's gate I heard my fathers words deep in my heart Son know your enemy as i know my son The fates were kind, they let me in The dragons lair, the den of sin I placed my sword upon it's heart And with a prayer I thrust it in The dragon fell upon the ground 'Twas then I heard a whimpering sound A dragonling to his father clung Who only fought to protect his young I heard my fathers words deep in my heart Son, know your enemy as i know my son And now my son is off to war To fight the new scourge of Christendom He holds aloft his brazen sword And says "Death, let them come!" He swears their eyes are red as flame And heard it told from hell they came Their breath is fire their tongues are forged Thus are the men of Muslim faith Son, hear your father clear deep in your heart Son, know your enemy as I would have them know my son
Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky - Crusaders In Pskov
The Crusades were a series of religion-driven military campaigns waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal opponents. Crusades were fought mainly against Muslims, though campaigns were also directed against pagan Slavs, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes. Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins. The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia. The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade. The Crusades had far-reaching political, economic, and social impacts, some of which have lasted into contemporary times. Because of internal conflicts among Christian kingdoms and political powers, some of the crusade expeditions were diverted from their original aim, such as the Fourth Crusade, which ...

If not for the modern Zionist movement, the Jewish connection to Jerusalem may have been completely obscured as well. If Islam sees fit to abort the entire history of a 3000-year-old city, do you think theyd have any compunction about eclipsing cities and civilizations that are relatively young? *See blog for links and references.

The Muslim belief is that once a territory has been under Muslim rule, it can never be relinquished again. And so former Muslim colonies such as Spain, Israel and the Balkans, are ...

This video discusses the Islamic violence against Eastern Christians in the Syrian region during the Middle Ages, and how it provoked the Crusades as a defensive response. The idea that the Crusades were an unprovoked act of violence against Islamic civilization is simply nonsense and not historical. This video makes use of several important medieval primary sources from the Middle East, including Aristakes' 11th Century Armenian History, and the Chronicle of Michael the Syrian. Some important sources: The full text of Aristakes' History rbedrosian.com Info on Michael the Syrian: en.wikipedia.org An article by leading Crusades historian Tom Madden ignatiusinsight.net An excellent book by an Egyptian scholar entitled "The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam" books.google.com
lyrics: The Holy Ghost can't save you anymore Your souls are condemned to burn in hell Damned for all time So spoke the noble one He convinced us all He is a gifted man Though he will slaughter in the name of Christ Holy and bright He's a devil in disguise Protector of the cross Beware of the snake All in all it's just a poor man's crusade Poor man's crusade The Holy Land home of our blessed lord Enslaved and stained by godless hands They shall be damned Jerusalem Is waiting for you To rise once again So we will slaughter in the name of Christ Holy father, holy father All in all it's just a poor man's crusade Poor man's crusade You'll shed your blood Your bodies fall That is the price you'll pay To cleanse you of your sins Vicious and cruel Let's kill them all Let's kill them all So we will slaughter in the name of Christ Holy father, holy father All in all it's just a poor man's crusade Poor man's crusade

Based on legend, fact and some fiction, this Historic epic is still enjoyable after more than 70 years. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille and released in October 1935. King Richard and the Third Crusade (1190-1192) are given the DeMille treatment with plenty of spectacle. Saladin in this movie and according to tradition and history is shown to be most chivalrous and an admirer of King Richard the Lionheart. Henry Wilcoxon .. Richard, King of England Loretta Young ... Princess of Navarre Ian Keith ....... Saladin, Sultan of Islam C. Aubrey Smith ....The Hermit Katherine DeMille . Alice,Princess of France Joseph Schildkraut . Conrad of Montferrat Alan Hale .......... Blondel - Troubadour Saladin (1138-1193), a brilliant and noble Kurdish ruler of Egypt and Syria, is known in the West for his opposition to the forces of the Third Crusade and for his capture of Jerusalem.

THE HOLY CRUSADES; The First Crusade: "Pilgrims in Arms" "Siege of Jerusalem" By Monty Python's Terry Jones (Part 17 of however many God wants) Christian Characters: Emperor Alexius, Pope Urban II, Peter the Hermit, Peasants, Knights and other Christians "Pagan" Characters: Jews & Muslims & Eastern Orthodox Christians The purpose is to show parallels between Old War "Quagmires" & Modern War "Quagmires", because so often people dont realize there is so much more to "Winning a War" than what happens on any battlefield regardless of how many battles there are. Unless people are willing to entirely slaughter the other people (which is almost impossible because there will always be a few left), the Victory really comes for the "Military in Control" with negotiation agreements.
