Abstract

The continuing confrontation between Muslims and Christians is rooted in the view of past conflicts as religious in nature. The author investigates four historical events (the battle near Poitiers, the reconquista, the Crusades, the occupation of Constantinople) in order to distinguish between fact and fancy in the interpretation of these events. Each of these events had principally economic and political causes, rather than religious ones. Lastly, the author looks at the historical significance of the date September 11, beyond the year 2001. Muslims, Christians and Jews need to engage in a trialogue about their sacred scriptures together, liberate them from fundamentalists and reject any interpretation that leads to violence.
