Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
The Battle and the Miracle of Mont Gisard.
On November 11, 1177, Frankish King Baldwin IV, known as the "Leper King," faced the Musulman Jihadist Saladin, who marched with 26,000 Muslim soldiers to crush the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem. Baldwin, though severely ill and outnumbered, led a much smaller Christian force of 500 Christian knights and infantry.
At the Battle of Montgisard, Baldwin’s army carried the True Cross, a symbol of Christ’s victory. The Crusaders launched a daring ambush, routing Saladin’s forces and securing a miraculous triumph. Saladin barely escaped with his life, retreating to Egypt.
This incredible victory shows Baldwin's faith, courage, and reliance on God.
