Islamification of America Part 8: The Crusades with Dr. John Hosler

What really caused the Crusades — and why should Christians care today? In Part 8 of the Islamification of America series, Pastor Nate sits down with Dr. John Holser, a professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and author of The Siege of Acre and Jerusalem Falls. Listen as they walk through the centuries of Islamic expansion that led to the Crusades, the brutal fall of Jerusalem in 1099, the rise and myth of Saladin, and the 1229 agreement that still governs who can pray on the Temple Mount. Pastor Nate also shares his own eye-opening experience visiting the Temple Mount and what it revealed about restrictions that Christians and Jews still face today. This is history every Christian needs to understand — perfect for your commute or workout.
