Can I connect the Battle of Tours with the fact that the Muslims are now a minority?

Question

I am writing a research project about the Battle of Tours. There were a few questions that you could choose to answer, and I chose "What significance does the battle have for Muslims?". For my topic sentence I have "Because of the Battle of Tours the Islamic Empire lost power, Muslims became a minority, and the hard-earned powerful name was handed to the Christians." Do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

When were Muslims in majority in Europe? Battles are won when morals are high and lost when a nation become lazy and lethargic.

When Tariq Bib Ziyad conquered Gibralter, he burned all boats in which his army came sailing from Africa to Spanish shores with intention to win the battle or die all. No one can defeat such warrioers. Muslims won Spain and ruled for 700 hundred years though they were small minority. They have left their marks on many great historical monuments in Spain.

French, British, Germans and Portuges occupied many lands in Africa and Asia because of their gun powder technology which Asians and Africans didn't have. But now they don't have any of these colonies because they themselves became weaker and corrupt and couldn't hold on to these colonies.

History even written by honest European historians tell the world today that Muslims always treated humanely and with justice where ever they ruled as compared to Europeans who turned countries in whore houses and committed crimes against humanity where ever they went.

There will be hundreds of millions of Christians burning in hell in next world as compared to Muslims for being better people. Muslims expanded their Empire to spread Islam and to please God but Christians expanded in Asia and Africa to loot the countries. .

I can disclose lots of atrocities and crimes of Christians committed in Asia and Africa for happy

Catholic Warrior

but it is not worth lowering ourselves at the level of Catholicos. Just remember how many Indians your people killed in south America, north America, Vietnam and China, Phillipines, South Africa, central Africa and God knows where else. History of the conquests of your people is full of crimes against humanity.

If Catholics have any sense of guilt and shame they shouldn't compell us to show you people the mirror to see yourself in it.

Answer 2

Hmm. I'm digging into memory here, about 30 years worth (where is my Eerdman's when I need it?), but it seems to me that the Muslims were always a 'minority'. The declining Roman Empire, combined with the orthodox churches of the east, had a considerably larger population. What the Muslims had was militaristic fervor in their cause, giving them a certain unity and drive to conquer which the RE didn't have at the time, what with the political and religious divisions that had crept in over 700 years. Charles Martel was able to bring together a sufficient force to stop their advance at Tours. But the struggle continued for several hundred more years through several crusades.

Not sure what you mean by 'the hard-earned powerful name'.
