DAMASCUS, Syria – Archaeologists have discovered two Crusader-era murals depicting heaven and hell in a medieval church near Syria's coast — a rare find that could reveal new information about the Christian knights who battled Muslims for control of the Holy Land hundreds of years ago.
Experts are now renovating the 12th century paintings, which were discovered last year by a joint Syrian-Hungarian team excavating an old Crusader fortress on a hilltop near the Mediterranean Sea in the western province of Tartous.
...
The murals, which measure about 8 feet (2.5 meters) high and 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) wide, were hanging on either side of the altar of a 12th century chapel inside the al-Marqab Citadel and had accumulated thick layers of dust and dirt, archaeologists said.

Christians who were fighting for their land before the muslims came in to there and took it away.
I wonder if in the Islamic countries they actually teach that Christians and Jews lived there for hundreds of years before Islam was even founded and the wars only happened because muslims tried to take over the world by moving westward?

Of course not. The Kuran teaches that Islam descends from Abraham, and Mohammed is the last prophet. Christ (Issa) is some sort of amiable but misguided lesser prophet.
They probably teach it as we conquered the unclean barbarian squatters.... and the Zionist dogs... which is good. We brought them civility and of course the true and almighty allah. We set them free .... or some other similar b/s
I hope no one blows them up!

Thanks Hegemony Cricket. Funny thing, the Muzzies claim there never were Jews in Israel, never a Temple on the Mount, and yet they never say, "the Crusaders were never here". |

A lesson from the Crusader era:
When Christianity is united and Islam divided, civilization expands.
When Islam is united and Christianity divided, civilization shrinks.
Islam is in the final stages of overrunning Europe. We are next.
No. They are a map to where the Templars buried the Holy Grail in the New World.
