“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

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?

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. However this cannot be true because of how much people

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.

Present plans call for at least six visits to each community by Ridvan. Many communities would like to be visited more often, but there is not enough man power to do this. A teacher-training institute was held January 13 -14 at the Louis G. Gregory Baha’i Institute in Hemingway. Topics included the life of Baha’u’llah, and the concepts of the unity of mankind and the oneness of God. There are far too few cars available to carry on the consolidation work in South Carolina, and more are desperately needed, according to Mrs. Trudy White of the South Carolina Regional Teaching Office.

some of us know, the Crusades is not something that we enjoy discussing, but they were a big part of religious history. The Crusades were what the pope called “holy wars or expeditions,” that knights or people of their religion went on to gain control over holy land. Each Crusade had a social, economic, and/or political goal and aimed for one land at a time. The pope even exclaimed that if you went on a Crusade that you were assured a place in heaven. These Crusades, or “holy wars”, were driven by religious faith within varieties of religion like Muslims and Christians.

When Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade at Clermont in 1095, he drew upon feelings of piety of those in the crowd, “calling on men from all over Christendom to come to the rescue of their fellow Christians in the east: ‘Undertake this journey for the remission of your sins, assured of the imperishable glory of the kingdom of heaven.’ (Keen 1991, pp. 117-118). Before any other motive, the crusaders believed that they were fighting because it was God’s will and they were fighting for the religion that they were so devoted to.

The Crusades was a turning point in history because it depleted the population, made the relationships between religions very strained, and introduced a variety of new ideas and products to the Europeans/Crusaders. The Crusades began after Emperor Alexius requested Pope Urban III to find him a couple of hundred mercenaries who would help him take back the Holy lands after the Muslims had taken it over and had limited their access to their biblical sites. He supported their claim to the crusades by saying that God owns all the land and that it was meant for his children, but since the Muslims stole and inhabited his land, so they must take it back. Pope Urban III gave a speech to all of western christendom, saying, “This royal city, therefore, situated at the center of the world, is now held captive by His enemies, and is in subjection to those who do not know God, to the worship of the heathens. She seeks therefore and desires to be liberated, and does not cease to implore you to come to her aid.”.

If I’m here on TV in front of millions of american adults, it means I have something really important to tell you. Did you ever say, implicitly or explicitly, that the lyrics of African-American songs are inappropriate, especially those of rappers such as N.W.A? Statistics say that 90 percent of our population have, and most of the time it was explicitly in front of black people. Now, did you ask yourself why is the language of African-Americans inappropriate? Statistics say that 70 percent of the american population doesn’t know the reason and thinks that because we are born black, we should be bad.

Abraham Lincoln one said “Standing as I do, with my hand upon this staff, and under the folds of the American flag, I ask you to stand by me so long as I stand by it.” The American flag symbolizes purity, valor, justice, perseverance and many more prestigious attributes. Not one person in our country or out of our country should be able to disrespect or violate our flag. To continue, the flag should not be desecrated due to how many people died for it and what it symbolizes for our country. There have been over 1.1 million American soldiers that have died for our country and our flag.

On the night of October 1, 2017 a man named Stephen Paddock shook America with the chaos of the Las Vegas shooting. He killed 58 people and injured hundreds with a legally acquired rifle. He had the freedom to acquire the weapon but not the freedom to use it in order to do harm and leave people without mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. Although that night was the biggest mass shooting on U.S soil, it also brought out the true patriot and hero inside of some people who saved countless lives on that tragic night. Even in the midst of chaos some people remember where they’re from and fight back against evil trying to deter America’s morale and hope.
