من وثيقة مشروع برنارد لويس لتفتيت العالم الإسلامي شاهد خريطة السودان

Quote: Bernard Lewis called the Crusades a late, limited and unsuccessful imitation of the jihad. In the AEI speech, he made the point that the Crusades, as atrocious as they were, were nonetheless an understandable response to the Islamic onslaught of the preceding centuries, and that it was ridiculous to apologize for them. The more central point to his speech was that Europe in particular is now losing its conviction in facing off against Islamic extremism and migration.
