The Crusader widen Europe’s horizons
The cross bearers who went on the long journey to the Middle East from France, England, Germany and
Italy knew little of the kind of people they were going to try to take sacred. Territory from the hand of the
“infidels”, “unbelievers” whose God and Prophet were different from their own. After once making
contact with the East, the Crusaders were supprised to find there a highly developed culture which was
not only much older than Europe’s but in many ways quite superior. Islam and Christianity had many
things in common – most importantly, a belief in one God. The Islamic codes of morality and hospitality
deeply impressed the men from the West. At a time when losses from battle and pestilence called for
every bit of medical skills available, doctors who accompanied the Crusaders discovered that Muslim
medicine was far ahead their own.
