I saw the first half hour.
It was awful. Pure anti-western, anti-Christian garbage.
Every scene of Christianity was shot in some dark damp room with a light beam coming in through a solitary window. Christian leaders were either hooded or ugly and somber. Every Muslim scene was shot in bright sunlight. The murderous conquests of the Muslims were shown as a wave speading across a map - but no battle scenes.
It claimed the Crusades were the result of Rome's need to "legitimize" itself.
I HAD to turn it off when one so-called "historian", from some second rate college, explained that the reason knights and nobles left their wealth, comfort and families to risk their lives with little chance of any payback was because Pope Urban was a great motivational speaker ("better than Billy Graham").
Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.

I channel surfed to this right about this same time. And it was right about this same time ("better than Billy Graham") that I turned it off.
Everyone knows that Pope Urban misused intelligence and lied to the kings of Europe about the weapons of MASS destruction.
