How Muslims, Jews & Christians lived in Jerusalem before the Crusades | Roy Casagranda| UNAPOLOGETIC

"We assume (The Crusades) was a Christian-Muslim conflict because that's how it's always portrayed, but it really wasn't, in part because the Arab world was so diverse." Prof Roy Casagranda speaks about Jerusalem’s importance to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and gives a brief history as to how the Jewish, Christian and Muslim populations came to settle in the city. He also gives us a sense as to how the city was culturally and religiously diverse for long periods of its history pre-dating the crusades.
