Islamic Conquest Past & Present

Islamic Conquest Past & Present

*New*

In the context of a 1,400-year history marked by significant events, current events gain prominence. Within a century after Mohammed's demise, Muslim warriors had reached the outskirts of Paris, having conquered territories including North Africa, the Holy Land, Persia, and Spain. Spanning from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, both the Umayyad Muslim Caliphate and later the Ottoman Empire stood as the world's largest empires for centuries. This resource delves into the connections between Islam and various subjects, such as Arabian Horses, the invention of stirrups for riding, the Slave Trade, Charles Martel and the Battle of Tours, the Byzantine Empire, Santa Claus, Richard the Lionheart, the term "assassin," the Seven Churches of Revelation, Marco Polo, Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Islam's treatment of women, James Oglethorpe (Georgia's founder), Coffee and Croissants, Jefferson and Madison's conflict with North African Barbary Pirates, Sir Lawrence of Arabia, Woodrow Wilson's attempt to aid Armenia, the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia, and Wahhabism. Few possess a grasp on the intricate workings and historical aspects of Islam like William J. Federer. This DVD will educate you on numerous unknown aspects of the subject. Complementing his earlier book on the Quran, titled "What Every American Should Know About the Quran," these two resources together furnish a comprehensive understanding of Islam's past, present, and even future. An exceptional educational DVD, meticulously supported by extensive documentation. The DVD consists of five 30-minute episodes, with a total runtime of 150 minutes.
