Draggingtree Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Remembering the Battle of Tours October 10, 2014 by Mark Tapson The month of October marks the anniversary of an epic event that unfortunately is no longer widely known but which nonetheless shaped the future of the Western world, and which may still hold inspiration for the West today. After the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in 632, Islam spread like a bloody tide throughout the Arabian peninsula , north to the Caspian Sea and east through Persia and beyond, westward through Egypt and across North Africa all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. From there it crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and consumed all of the Iberian peninsula, or al-Andalus as the Saracens called it. In a mere one hundred years, Muhammad’s aggressive legacy was an empire larger than Rome’s had ever been. We need “free citizens willing to fight for their own freedom and the values of their civilization” – as Charles Martel and his warriors once were. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/mark-tapson/remembering-the-battle-of-tours/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
