"In the history of conflict between East and West. The mightiest battle between Christianity and Islam; a holy war in the name of religion. For the first time, the story of the Crusades from an Arab perspective."…"

Nice article, thanks for sharing. For those interested The Crusades Through Arab Eyes by Amin Maalouf is a very good read
