Ethics in History: The Crusades For four-hundred and sixty-three years before the first crusade Christians repeatedly suffered bloody attacks from the Muslims. In their search for riches the Muslims destroyed churches, namely the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and shrines along the way and the Islamic belief was spread throughout Europe.

occupational group mainly consists of middle-income occupation and their growth made up for the loss of those in the middle-income manufacturing sector. It can be concluded that although Cape Town has seen a marginally polarizing employment growth (Borel-Saladin, Crankshaw, 2009; 658) in the past twenty years, it has not seen an absolute decline in middle-income employment and therefore does not agree with the social polarizing thesis. Table 1 Sydney, Australia is the second case-study this essay will discuss

The third crusade was the result of the fall of Jerusalem. It occurred between the years 1189-1192 due to the fact that Jerusalem had fallen under the control of Saladin, sultan of Egypt (1). Three armies from Europe led by Richard of England, Phillip the II of France, and Frederick Barbarossa were going to make an attempt to stop Saladin but Frederick died and the other two kings did not get along so the third crusade failed (1).

can waver or hold steadfast, characters revisiting belief in skepticism as ideology falters. In The Satanic Verses, truth and falsity is ultimately ambiguous. Some characters are featured as wrestling with religious doubt, others like Gibreel and Saladin think over their atheism after supernatural events. Definition is resisted, borders blurred, it is questionable whether events are happening or merely figments of imagination. Gibreel asks for ‘some sign’(30) that God is present during his illness

The subsequent Crusades were far less successful, and as such, public support steadily dwindled, finally reaching an all-time low following the disastrous defeat that was the eighth and ninth crusades.
