In this lecture, Jerald Whitehouse describes the “Christendom Shift” in relating to the world in the years since the early church. “They [the crusades] caused Muslims great offence and inflicted on them profound and lasting psychological scars…Those who support the present ‘demonisation’ of Islam in the Western media would thus do well to bear in mind this history of psychological damage and religious affront. Many Muslims today still remember with pain – centuries later though it may be – what was done in the name of the Cross.” Hillenbrand, “The Crusades, Islamic Perspectives”
