Abstract

Behind contemporary Christian-Muslim interaction and dialogue lie centuries of historical baggage that have resulted in misconception, misunderstanding, and mistrust. Two of the primary historical phenomena that color Christian-Muslim interaction and dialogue are the Crusades and colonial imperialism. This article concerns itself with these two historical events. After a brief description of Christian-Muslim interaction at the time of Muhammad, it discusses the volatile topic of the Crusades. It gives particular focus to three influential Christian leaders who, during the time of the Crusades, disagreed with the militaristic approach of the Crusaders. Then the article addresses Christian-Muslim interaction during the era of colonial imperialism.
