Christians defeated the Muslims at the battle of Lepanto, by the power of the rosary in 1571.
The latest Trump Rally had a beautiful singing of the Ave Maria. Just Saying.
Oct 7th is the feast day!
That would be great! We never even speak about that part of history these days, and it doesn't seem to really exist in what school history books tell of history. I presume a lot of the younger generations have no idea that those invasion attempts even happened. And frankly, neither do many older ones (or of the pretty wide scale enslavement of Europeans AND Africans by Muslims...). I mostly know because I had the habit of buying older novels, including historical ones, from used books stores when I was young after I found out I often liked them better than the new ones.
Lets just hope it will be good as a story. The most easily palatable way to get new knowledge to humans is by telling it as stories, good, exciting and entertaining ones everybody can enjoy. Then just make sure those stories have the fact parts straight.
Whether he produces or directs, I have never been disappointed by a Mel Gibson film.
I liked the one he did in Mayan....apocolypto
On my top ten list of favorite movies. In my opinion, the 2nd half of the movie is the greatest chase scene ever put on film.
Vlad the Impaler, Voivode of Wallachia, a small fiefdom stuck between the world powers of Hungary and the Ottomans, fended off both through the early into the mid 1400s. Today all we know of him is the Dracula myths but in this region of the Carpathian Mountains he is a hero. It was his shrewd politics and fearless leadership that kept Islam from the invasion of Europe.
If you ever have the time, the history of Central Europe and the Balkans is not only interesting but consequential to the story of Western Civilization.
And then you have the 700 year occupation of the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors.
Vlad the Impaler knew about psy ops, all the roads leading in and out of his country were lined with the bodies of impaled muslim soldiers and camp followers. Miles and miles of stakes up the date lockers of invading mohammedans.
Yep.
And have you heard of this:

Most Finns these days have no knowledge of that part of our history, and that trade only fully ended in the 18th century. The slave raiders came this far north even if getting the captured slaves to the markets alive was difficult, most died on the way, because blonds, especially pretty blond children, were a luxury item their customers would pay big sums for.
If you look at the history of this area there has never really been a Ukraine. The entire region of the Grand Duchy and western Russia was littered with Viking outposts and one was Kiev. The Vikings had a northern route to Constantinople using the Russian river systems of the Don and the Volga into the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Western Ukraine then became part of the Grand Duchy while eastern Ukraine was filled with different tribes (Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Huns), mostly nomadic. These are the tribes of the Steppes that tortured Rome for centuries. The area of the Caucuses between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea was Greek and then Islamic with the Mongols Golden Horde ruling it all at one point.
The Grand Duchy was the largest state in Europe. It stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. It was also the last pagan stronghold in Europe. The Teutonic Knights were created to combat them. These are called the Northern Crusades.
This ties in to u/Maui_Boy post about John III Sobieski. He briefly reformed the Grand Duchy.
This also ties into what is happening in Ukraine. Or will when Ukraine is ultimately dismantled. I have mentioned before here I think Poland and Lithuania have designs on a new Grand Duchy.
I have a couple of books somewhere, although it's been a decade or so since I last read them. One is this: https://www.amazon.com/Northern-Crusades-Second-Eric-Christiansen/dp/0140266534
Would you recommend anything?
When it comes to that eastern slave trade, a Finn, Jukka Korpela, recently wrote a pretty good book about it, but it's available only in Finnish.
Although the more thorough - and expensive - academic version is in English.

BTW, it would also be great if somebody made a movie or series of the Cajun Navy or some other groups of private citizens providing help to catastrophe areas and doing it better than the official relief organizations like FEMA, while actually needing to fight not only red tape but actual blockades and intimidation in order to do it. From what I have read it rather looks like you could easily do a story rather something like "The Dukes of Hazzard" from what is, and has been, actually happening for real.
Someday
The croissant pastry was invented to celebrate the victory over them. John III Sobieski’s victory if I’m not mistaken.
There is already a movie called Day of the Seige: September Eleven 1683. It's worth watching.
I'll look it up.
Look up General Tso - chinese take out named after.. This general drove away the muslims from China
We have Muslim invaders and we have Muslim infiltration at the highest levels of the government bringing in Muslims by the thousands! How many crossed the Southern border in the last 3 years?
...or the northern border, or flown in on planes?
DEUS VULT
There’s good documentaries, YouTube. on this subject and other Bible history. Since technology is easier for novice’s to master these AI image videos are getting more popular. As with anything check to make sure it’s true.
Mel Gibson has been portraying the real history of this world and that's why he has been under constant attack!
732 AD The Battle of Tours, also known as the Battle of Poitiers, took place in 732 CE near the city of Tours in France. Frankish leader Charles Martel and his followers defeated the invading Islamic army led by Emir Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi Abd al Rahman. This victory halted the Muslim advance into Western Europe, and the Moors retreated from Gaul12345. Learn more:

Why isn't Mel Gibson helping the North Carolina residents right now? He has a helicopter and he's a pilot.
Stop taking stupid pill, you should call the fat black woman and her side kick the pebble in Maui have them bring their jets and bus loads of cash****** Merkava_4 0 points 4 hours ago +2 / -2 Why isn't Mel Gibson helping the North Carolina residents right now? He has a helicopter and he's a pilot.
How do you know he is not, some people don't make a big show. The main stream sure would not bother to report it anyway.
