The interchange between Christianity and Islam is not unique to our age. The ancient centers of Christendom—Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch, Alexandria—fell under Muslim control, and in the first strongholds of the Christian faith, the churches all but died off.
The Crusades
The first word that comes to the minds of many in thinking of Muslim-Christian interactions is Crusades, and Muslims often respond to criticisms of jihad by claiming Christians did the same thing in the Crusades. Often the Crusades are portrayed as a Christian invasion of Muslim lands. Historical facts show it was not that simple.
