Earlier this week in history, on October 10, 732, one of world history’s most decisive battles took place and accomplished something that today seems farfetched: it stopped Europe from becoming Islamic over a millennium ago.
Also interesting is that after the battle of Tours the slow process of driving Islam out of the Iberian peninsular began. ‘The Reconquista’ took about 700 years.
Muslims bang on about the Crusades but rarely mention how often Islam tried to conquer Western Europe. They wete stopped at Tours and again 800 years later at Vienna.
