The Crusade


The crusades started taking shape due to the lose of a certain Christian emperor called Alexois to Muslim advances in different battles. He(Alexois) tried to get support form the church and started to make it all look like an attempt by the Moslem's to destroy the Catholic church . Thus Pope Urban II started to fall for it and in around 1095 AD the preaching was out.

First Crusade 1095-1099 AD (Fall of Jerusalem to the Christians)
Second Crusade 1147-1149 AD (Fall of Edessa to the Moslems and Lisbon to the Christians)
Third Crusade 1187-1192 AD ( Fall of Jerusalem to the Moslems through Saladin)
Forth Crusade 1202-1204 AD ( Failed attempt to recapture Jerusalem through Egypt )
Fifth Crusade 1217-1221 AD (Failed attempt to recapture Jerusalem and heavy losses )
Sixth Crusade 1228-1229 AD (Through diplomacy Emperor Frederik II secured the administrative management of Jerusalem by the Christians, after failing militarily)
Seventh Crusade 1248-1254 AD (Failing to militarily bring the holy land under control)
Eight Crusade 1270-1270 AD (Failing to to start a war)
Ninth Crusade 1271-1272 AD (Failing to achieve anything Edward I retreated back)

At the end of the day, the holy land stayed under Moslem Control until the Ottoman Empire lost it to the allies of the First world war in 1918, and it was then given to the Jewish Semites, who actually fought alongside the Moslems for Jerusalem and were often massacred by the Christians. The Jews developed a political ideology (Zionism) and changed he whole definition of the holy land and called it a Jewish state.

Tenth Crusade 2003- ? ( Some Terrorist attacks on a new country called America initiated this new crusade, by 2008 two countries had fallen and a third "Iran" was being set up)

The Sanctions

Mr. M. Sahimi wrote "When she was running for president in 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to obliterate Iran if it attacked Israel. Her opponent, Barack Obama, responded that Clinton’s threat was "too much like Bush" Four years later Iran has not attacked Israel (and will not do so, unless attacked by Israel first), but President Obama is actually carrying out the threat that his current secretary of state made in 2008, waging an undeclared war on Iran and Iranians. The U.S. and Israel have launched cyber attacks, assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists , and supported armed ethnic groups that carry out terrorist operations inside Iran, killing innocent people. In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ

Chaldoran 1514 AD

Image
It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T
