Fun fact: the official teaching of the Church (especially the Catholic tradition) from the days of the early Church, with regard to the treatment of the Jews under Christian rule is known as "Sicut Judaeis Non" (whereas of the Jews you may not) which ordered Christian leaders to respect the dignity and property of Jews and especially strongly prohibited a practice of "forcing" Christianity/Baptism on Jewish persons and families. Not uncommonly, the breach of these commands were penalized by rather severe ecclesial sanctions (normally automatic). Unfortunately, though the Popes and some Bishops repeated the teaching quite a few times, the teaching wasn't always respected and many Jews suffered incredibly inhumane treatment and even massacred to death at the hands of those who ought to have known better if not by their natural disposition (moral law) also by their owed obedience to their spiritual leaders (Bishops/Popes).

Though i can tell you aren't going to full on details for the sake of the religion war zone online, but i really appreciate how well spotted your facts are. As always, patiently waiting for your new videos (You and Red's too) :) (btw im muslim, so you saying all this just made me smile from the accuracy ^^)

Thank u very much for taking the background music from age of mythology pc game's theme track. I've passed many many beautiful good afternoons & evenings of my childhood sitting before my dear-old computer that we had at our home. Suddenly hit by some sweet sweet nostalgia ❤️ good feeling memories of childhood. Thanks a lot.

Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you! This is what we’re covering in AP world right now and I needed the extra help

I wish everyone would stop being so nervous about this, Religious history is REALLY COOL. Keep it up Blue; I am really looking forward to the next video

Love the video!! Would adore a little video about the Muslim Africans. Especially Mansa Musa. His older brother basically abdicated so he could lead an expedition to the West. He never returned. The empire was extremely wealthy. Mansa Musa is best known for bankrupting countries during his pilgrimage to Mecca because he was just throwing gold to people in the street during his journey. Such an exciting story!!! Again LOVE the videos!!!

Ooooooohhhh, Age of mythology music, nice choice, also good work on the topic, talking religion on the internet is walking on a mine field over an oil deposit over a volcano, so good luck with tha in future episodes

Oh shut the fuck up

This was a bit short (well, it’s not « History Summarized » for nothing !). But a few words about the difference of treatment between Muslims, monotheists non-Muslims and polytheists under the first Caliphs would have been welcomed. The “people of the book” (monotheists) undeniably paid more taxes. This is why the Umayyads didn’t want their conquered populations to convert: they would have collected less money from Muslim populations. In his book “Berbères, mémoires et identité", Gabriel Camps says that the Berbers were still getting extorted like non-muslims by the Umayyads, even though they had converted! Also the conquered Buddhists and Hinduists weren't "monotheistic enough", therefore they had been massacred for a time and got their places of worship destroyed (see the conquest of the Indian subcontinent). Akbar the Great was more open-minded but his more pious descendants destroyed his legacy of tolerance and syncretism.

Blue's disclaimer is like spongebob trying to extinguish that fire

Thanks for the video. Could you possibly share the script? I'd like to send it to an esl student, but the captions are way too fast at her level. Thanks in advance.

*Zoroastrians* *Respect* That's, uh, a bit of a stretch even at the beginning. Certainly happened, but it had a nasty tendency to fall away the moment things got unstable, and once you get to the Abbasids the persecution starts to get institutionalized. After their fall, they ceased to be dhimini and were reduced to the status of kafir, same as any polytheist.

Are you playing 'Kiss From a Rose' on zitar (or something similar) in the background...😅😅

Hi Blue, great video, just a couple of things:: It would've been nice if you spoke more about the yearly Jihads that the Caliphates waged on Byzantine land also, and the conquest of the Iberian peninsula and the acts committed there, if you're gonna talk holy war you gotta mention the reconquista You kept mentioning religious freedom in the caliphate, and I know where you're coming at, you're comparing it to the pogroms against the Jews in Europe, but I wouldn't call the caliphates policy "religious freedom" and more "religious subjugation". The non Muslim subjects were firstly forced to pay a humiliation tax, called the Jizya (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya), in any case where a Muslim and another person of the book had an altercation the Muslim automatically had favour in the courts. They were, by all reasonable measures, second class citizens It was actually extremely comparable to the Byzantine empire, which forced similar rules on its subjects, especially the Jews Comparing this to Persia or even Greece before the Islamic conquests the differences are stark, where religious freedom and even atheism of a sort were tolerated, the latter still being a punishable offensive in Islamic countries today As I said earlier, great video, just wanted to make it clear that religious freedom probably isn't a great term, maybe religious toleration would've been better

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the tax less "humiliation" and more of a "get out of military" tax? You know, instead of being drafted into the military you pay the tax. Which, at least to me, sounds admiringly reasonable given the time period. Sucks a bit that the division of military or tax is made by religion rather than choice, but personally I'd rather see that my family pays a tax than someone in my family being forced into the military. Then again, I'm Scandinavian and we are generally very tolerant towards taxes.

@Obi-Wan_Kenobi

Jizia wasn't a humilliation tax by any means. People of other religions could pay the tax instead of being drafted by the military and Muslims were already paying money to the government in the form of Zakat, which was *significantly* higher than the Jizia. The tax was instituted because the state needed funding to protect all the people of different religion within it's boarders. People of other religions had the same protections so they were required to pay a tax as per their duties as citizens. This is the exact same social contract every nations-state engages in today with their citizens. So non-Muslims didn't have to fight in the army, paid lower taxes than the Muslims, enjoyed all the benefits of your average citizen, and the freedoms of instituting their own religious governments within the Muslim boarders. That's a pretty sweet deal the proof the people like living under these arrangements can be found in immigration patterns. Historically religiously persecuted groups like Jews and Unothadox Christians sects consistently left Christian Kingdoms to settle in Muslim land where they remained and prospered for centuries. Not to mention that the ancestors of these religious immigrants still live in these lands today. The only reasons they came was because they were treated better in Muslims lands, much better than in Christians lands. If they were mistreated, they would never have come let alone settled there.

@jael3177

4 жыл бұрын

There is no historical evidence that the Jizya was 'humiliating' nor did it upset anyone. In fact it was more likely that people were much happier to pay the Jizya than live elsewhere were they were persecuted. The Jizya also had a Muslim variation that Muslims had to pay, but since Muslim law could only be extended onto a Muslim population (Yes, Sharia only governed Muslims - Canonical and Rabbinical laws were used for self-governing Christian and Jewish populations) Jizya was formed.

Can't wait for the next two.

Haha, no worries. I can sympathize, as the Byzantine empire, in keeping with roman traditions, have wildly changing borders that depend as much on the direction of the wind as it does on political and military factors. And the fact that I didn't put accompanying years & dates in this video is very much my own fault for the confusion. Most empires have the courtesy to expand and shrink in predictable patterns, but the Byzantine empire keeps shifting every one of its borders in every conceivable direction for its entire history.

Age of empires background music? Niceeee.

1 Corinthians 1,12 and following; "What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" It's been an issue since day 1, we knew it was an issue since day 1, and yet we didn't learn our lesson. I count myself lucky that I learned it the easy way, by getting to know people that I can see as true brothers and sisters in Christ while also disagreeing with them on quiet a few theological issues.

Agreed by and large about the toleration under the Ummayads-Abbasids,however by the time of the Turkifications,it had kinda gone out,as while peoples of the book(christians,Jews and Mazdayanis due to the Zend Avesta0 indeed enjoyed these freedoms,others like Hindus and Buddhists in the east and a not incosiderable number of Berber polytheists faced much massacre and forced conversion.General thumb rule,the more further from Egypt and Baghdad you were on either end(Almoravids and Almohads in the west,ghaznavids and Ghurids in the East) the persecutions kept ramping up.

I was playing Age of Mythologies while listening to this, and was wondering why the hell the in-game music got a whole lot louder at the end...
