Did any of you see Rageh Omaar's piece tonight 'History of Christianity'....one of a series by different presenters. It was an excellent piece and gave insight into the background of the great divide between the Christian/Judeo world and the Muslim world. Not un-related to the crisis in Israel/Gaza. He went right back to The Crusades. An inglorious episode in Christianity and leaving the Muslims encapsulating Crusades/Colonialism/occupation/oppression...more or less. It all got confused in their belief and that is one of the reasons they cannot find it easy to tolerate all that that represents.(Mainly 'The West') They also include Judeaism in the mix. It is hard to put it all over as he did. You might be able to find the piece online on Channel 4. When he gave the facts about the crusades it made me ashamed to profess Christianity! The horrendous things that have gone on in the name of religion! Still do of course! I have to keep separating religion from 'Faith' ....two different things.
