The Conflict Between Christendom And IslamSince Islam came into being, it has clashed numerously with the already established Christianity. Their rivalry has never ceased until today. Modern Examples would be Bosnia and Lebanon. There were not only military clashes but political as well as economical. Although, the rivalry was incredibly intense, ironically, Arabic or Islamic culture managed to severely influence the Christian kingdoms. However, Christianity used all the advantages provided by Islam to their advantage and through that they managed to keep the Arabs at bay. Islamic civilization and its rise were thanks to one man and that is the last prophet, Prophet Muhammad. Islam came into being in 622AD and it was the last of the great civilizations. Islam managed to push the Arabs into a new kind of Unity , which at the same time spread far beyond Arabia, Persians, Indians, North African countries and parts of Europe came under its domination. The Arabs managed to capture most of the most powerful economic areas. In the Mediterranean their navy conquered Cyprus and crippled Byzantine sea power. They first clashed with the Christians when they tried to besiege
For instance, during the siege of Constantinople in 730 when Leo III managed to repulse the invaders he also got ideas to change certain parts of the Christian religion. Down to the 16th century the basic gynecological and childcare manuals were compilations of the famous Iranian Islamic scholars physician and philosophers like Razi, Kharazmi and Ibm-Sina were still utilized. In truth the Christians made not only a great amount of wealth due their contacts with the Arabs with a whole deal of knowledge which led to their ascendancy of power during the Renaissance years. This was an antagonism between the two until recently when the Arabs revolted against the new state of Israel. He forebade the use of images in Eastern churches and tried to enforce the ban in the West, even though his efforts insulted the Western churches. The aggressiveness of the Arabs forced western Europeans to rely on their own resources and to develop their own heritage and culture. But for the Pope and the nobility, it was to their advantage to send large amounts of nobles to fight, mainly because of the small feuds back home between idle and restless noble youths. By diverting the focus and energy's of the Byzantine Empire, the Arabs prevented it from expanding into Western Europe allowing the Franks and the Lombargs to gain power. The third crusade, in the 12th century, enlisted the most powerful Western rulers like King Richard the lion heart of England. The Christians thought the first crusade was an immense success. Trade between the Eastern and Western side of the world was one of the greatest interactions between the two. Overall, the crusades were both a political and religious failure. The Arabs would not have been able to spread their beliefs in the Mesopotamian areas if it wasn't for the already existing conflicts between the different types of Christian sects. There was also a lot of creative interchange between these two cultures.
