ISLAMIC JERUSALEM AND ITS CHRISTIA
Description
Islamic Jerusalem has a special place in the hearts of the three monotheistic religions. Throughout its history it has been the site of tolerance and tensions. "Islamic Jerusalem and its Christians" presents a critical look at historical events during the time of two key figures in the history of Islam: firstly Caliph 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, who played a critically important role in the birth and spread of Islam. Secondly Sultan Salah al-Din, the legendary 'Saladdin' of Western Crusader lore, whose peace negotiations with Richard the Lion-Heart, King of England Abu Munshar brings to life here. This pioneering study uses extensive original research to explore Muslim treatment of non-Muslims in the 7th Century and in the middle Ages. A valuable source of reference for all interested in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies, Religion and Medieval History, "Islamic Jerusalem and its Christians" establishes and develops new evidence for academic debate.
