medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thank you so much for introducing this note of sanity into the discussion. I
am just amazed by how some well respected academics give easy credence to an
attitude towards Muslims which boils down to: Those people have it in for
us, so we better do something about it. I thought historians were trained to
be wary of arguments positing that historical forces are pushing cultures
inevitably towards conflict, or are inherently inimical to one another,
ideas which seem more at home in the pages of Spengler than in modern
scholarship.
Your message is precisely what this discussion needed.
Thanks,
