A police officer stands guard outside the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 18. By James T Palmer James T Palmer is reader in medieval history in the School of History at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and has published widely on early medieval religions and culture.
In reality, the earliest medieval account of Charles’s victory did not portray the battle as a clash of civilizations at all. At this time, kings were weak, and real power lay with territorial dukes who owned land, appointed judges and organized the strongest armies for defense. Charles, starting in what is now Belgium, rose to prominence through military victories against key rivals and invading pagan Saxons from the east.
The narrative of Charles and the Battle of Tours was transformed in the 18th century with Edward Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” This was a seminal work of history, still widely read today, that lamented how Europeans had lost touch with the civilizations of Greece and Rome. And in that story, the battle truly became about warring cultures.
Culture is what remains in a person if he has forgotten everything or wants to forget it 🤔
Look at Google and Facebook since they are the ones that will feed a person a certain type of content based on that person’s internet habits, which ends up reinforcing their beliefs. It’s no accident that anti vaxxers, flat earthers, and the violent, racist right are growing.
SarahMcMullanNZ Re writing history to suit the narrative is all the rage these days
Yes early medieval European Christian kings weren't really medieval Christian kings and the idea that they would view North African Muslims invading from newly conquered Spain is just a far right conspiracy theory, everyone knows that
When guys like this make up their minds to do horrible acts like this, I’m sure they can come up with an excuse to do it. I think their minds are cultivated by propaganda on tv and eventually those seeds of hatred take root and grow.
Caused by socialism.
If you want to talk about fake history then talk about Tartaria - an empire that had muslim and christian live happily. Destroyed from history books by Russians and Chinese. Why don't we learn about GreatTartary ?
Religious radicalisation or any ideology which threatens the basic fundamental human rights is and has been since beginning of time an unfortunate manifestation, and will continue to plague our society.
