I'm posting a chapter a day of The Great Heresies by Hilaire Belloc.

This is the fourth in a series of seven posts.

Here are the previous threads:

Although, it's rather long, this chapter is worth the read. It is rather prophetic, considering it was written in the 1930's and predicted Islam to rise again in the future.

From the text:

Vienna, as we saw, was almost taken and only saved by the Christian army under the command of the King of Poland on a date that ought to be among the most famous in history — September 11, 1683.
