We talk about many events leading up to The Battle of Tours. Beginning in 633 the Muslim expansion shakes the Middle East, Africa, Asia and ultimately Europe. In 717 there stood only one force stopping Islam from world domination and the unraveling of western civilization. In this episode we take a look at how the religion of peace shared it’s culture with the world on the bloody edge of a scimitar.
