American Baha Flies Persuasive Speech

494 Words2 Pages

“It is within the reach of the American Baha’i Community to elect 1,000 Local Spiritual Assemblies this Ridvan! It will require each Baha’i residing within an Assembly area to be personally concerned for maintaining that Assembly, and whenever possible to join those hundreds of volunteers, youth and adults, who will be needed to assist in the formation of Assemblies in the vast mass teaching first in the South, Southwest and North. It would be dangerous to underestimate the value of such service. Now is the time to ‘grasp this golden opportunity’. The upcoming Baha’i year, the last year of the Nine Year Plan, can be filled with such historic accomplishments if we will but play our part in the spirit of universal participation as guided by the Universal House of Justice, directed by the National Spiritual Assembly, implemented by Local Spiritual Assemblies and teaching committees, and inspired by the Hands of the Cause of God, the Continental Board of Counsellors and the Auxiliary Boards.” …show more content…

The Hands of the Cause in the Holy Land during the ten year crusade stated, “The time has come when we must surge forward as one victorious army of light, each and every one of us aspiring for more glorious service than ever before, with our minds, our hearts, our resources, bent upon the single purpose of winning the sacred goals of the

The Crusades Thomas Madden Summary

1296 Words | 6 Pages

Thomas F. Madden’s The Concise History of the Crusades focuses on the Holy Land between 1095 and 1291. In the foreword, Madden explains that, “the heightened public interest in the Crusades since 9/11 has created a market for popular histories (Madden, viii).” This is important to note, as his previous editions of the book were not as focused on the idea of present day relations between the Islamic and Western world. While Madden answers the question of what the relationship is between the medieval Crusades and the problems of modern Israel, his argument throughout the monograph follows a traditionalist account that of the Crusades as being tied to Jerusalem as a destination. However, it can be understood by the reader that Madden’s main argument answers the question, what were the motivations of the Crusades, and how have the Crusades contributed to Islamic rage and terrorism today?

Summary Of Pope Urban II's Speech At Clermont

582 Words | 3 Pages

Pope Urban II’s speech at Clermont in 1095 was a call to crusade given outdoors to the nobles, commoners and church leaders of the Western European Christians (the Franks). The people were moved by this speech and it changed history, launching the first crusade to capture Jerusalem from the Muslim Turks. After hearing Pope Urban II’s speech, thousands of Western European Christians were moved to embark on the dangerous journey and fight in the crusade. I believe the main reasons they were moved and persuaded to fight was; 1) they felt it was their Christian duty, 2) Pope Urban promised them absolution for their sins and 3) they felt compelled to defend Christianity, their holy land and the Eastern Christians.

Did you know that Christians in the middle ages were so dedicated to their religion that they held a children's crusade to take down the enemy that actual soldiers couldn’t defeat? That is just how dedicated people can be to their religion. I do not entirely blame them, in the middle ages religion was the one thing people can look forward to in life so it would just make sense that religious devotion, and the paradise of Heaven is what the religions were fighting for during the Crusades. The Crusades was a war between the Christians and Muslims during Europe's middle ages that is often viewed as a holy war, however some people are beginning to believe it was more about money or land.

Why Did The Military Recruit In The First Crusade?

878 Words | 4 Pages

Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emperor raised 100,000 knights and infantry by himself, Philip II gathered 2,000 troops and from Richard I 6,000 .The fact that these monarchs individually raised such extensive numbers supports Tyerman’s observation that it was indeed the “leadership of monarchs” that strengthened the crusading forces. However, there were monarchs in the previous Crusades who succeeded in creating vast forces, this illustrates that this could be down to the evolution of crusading that encouraged more people to take up the cross, rather than fall of Jerusalem being a ‘turning point’. Furthermore, leadership continued to develop after the fall of Jerusalem signifying that Jerusalem itself was not a key turning point to the nature of crusading. This can be shown with the Fourth Crusade which had appointed a leader before they got to the Holy Land, this is different when comparing Raymond and Bohemund who arrived at the Levant who then assumed control, this is further illustrated with Richard in the Third Crusade.

These Crusades, or “holy wars”, were driven by religious faith within varieties of religion like Muslims and Christians.
