   🚩 The battle of Manzikert is one of those that altered the course of history. The armies of Alp Arslan swept into Anatolia like a storm, inflicting a defeat on the Byzantine Empire from which it would never recover. Many consider Manzikert to be the beginning of the irreversible decline of the Byzantine Empire. The Seljuk victory and the resurgent forces of Islam, were both likely causes for the calling of the First Crusade, over two decades later.

   What happened @20:13 is not accepted in Islam, as in Islam the Prophet said, "have mercy on an honorable person of a nation reduced to disgrace."

   Islam high refuses such acts, and Saladin followed Islam when he allowed all European Christians to marsh back to Europe unharmed and untouched.

   In all honesty to put it simple, most Turkish commanders/Sultans followed Turkish beliefs they mixed with Islam rather than actually following the Islamic teachings of war.

   Yet one of the most honorable Turkish dynasties was the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt, they simply were very unique amongst the others who were around them.

   This one was easy for Seljuks, according to this video, emperor Romanus IV Diogenes and his generals were one of the most incompetent army leaders ever.

    It seems in this video that the number of Byzantines are fewer than Seljuks, which is absolutely a lie. There were twice the number of the Byzantine armies in comparison to the Seljuks.

    15:50 They learned right then the same thing that most of Europe is learning right now….Diversity is NOT a strength.
