Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 42 Serious Thoughts
The weather was very hot, and sweat was pouring out of people's foreheads. After driving away Gairis, Abdullah couldn't calm down for a long time. Even though he drank cold water again and again, he still felt dry mouth and tongue.

The image of the Frank just now was becoming increasingly unclear to him. Although he had a scholarly air when he first saw him, the fact that he was wielding a long sword showed how dangerous he was.

Later, the doctor, out of kindness, saved the boy who was bitten by a poisonous snake, which made Abdullah feel good about him.

Later on, the first thing he said was: We broke into Ahmed's yard and killed half of his family.

He was utterly shocked.

Finally, this Frankish youth openly encouraged the Muslims in Alhadi to join him in the rebellion...

Is he crazy? Only a crazy person can express such illogical things! There is no connection between the beginning and the end!

No matter what, Abdullah was convinced of one thing: this young Frank was a dangerous man and he was bound to cause trouble in the town of Alhadi!
When Abdullah thought about the disruption of the ordinary life of the small town over the years, he couldn't sit still and wanted to find other important people in the town to have a good chat.

However, as soon as he stood up, Abdullah realized another problem.

If Gairis really killed half of Ahmed's family, it means that the military force behind Gairis must be greater than that of Ahmed!
Even the tax farmer Ahmed could massacre everyone in the town, let alone a dangerous person who is better than the tax farmer Ahmed? !

Abdullah sat down dejectedly again. How could he do anything about such a truly dangerous existence?
Let him go.

……

In the evening, the town was dyed into a flaming color by the orange-red sunset, and the dry houses cast long shadows in the afterglow.

At the town's meeting square, as the work of the day came to an end and people were going home, a Frank stood on a rented table, standing tall.

"Come on! People coming and going! Stop your steps and look at me!"

"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."

"I admire the Prophet Muhammad, who once said: The best food for people is the food obtained through their own labor. The Messenger of God, Daud, also supported his family through his own labor!"

"Now! The rat that ate and plundered other people's food has been arrested! I don't want to keep a penny of what Ahmed got from the town!"

"Everyone! Take your money! Take your food! Don't be afraid of Ahmed's family anymore, because they are either dead! Or they have been captured!"

The people around gathered together and looked at Garys in confusion. What nonsense was this man talking about!
But just as they were whispering to each other, discussing how to drive away this crazy Frank man.

Several soldiers in armor brought a man over.

Coincidentally, everyone present knew this person. Their name was Nabil, and he was the eldest son of the Ahmed family!
Today, Nabil is no longer as domineering as he used to be in the town.

His face was bruised and black and gray!
But that was not enough, another armored soldier came up to the Frank with a box in his arms and put it on the table.

When the box was opened, the last rays of the setting sun shone into it, casting a spellbinding glow on the people who gathered around it.

Gold! Gold!
Garys played a trick here. The bottom of the box was filled with dirham silver coins, and only two or three layers of gold dinars were placed on top, so the gold coins seemed to be particularly abundant. Many people swallowed their saliva. They had never seen so much money in their lives.

When Gellis bent down, reached into the box, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and then let go, and the gold coins fell back into the box, making a clanging sound, many people were fascinated.

"At the beginning of the creation, Allah told the angels that he would create a creature as a representative on earth. The angels expressed doubts about Allah's decision, thinking that the creature would bring chaos and bloodshed. Allah said that He knew what the angels did not know."

"Then Allah created the prophet Adam from the dust, and created Eve from a part of Adam. They were expelled from the Garden of Heaven and came to live in the world because they ate the forbidden fruit. But when Adam was farming and Eve was weaving, who was the noble?!"

“But who were the tax collectors when Adam was cultivating and Hawa was weaving?”

"In the territory of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, every Muslim man must pay a poll tax of 1 gold dinar per year. Women must pay half of that, and children must pay half of that. This is the rule of the Kingdom's High Court!"

"But you should calculate how much money you have paid! Have you ever paid less than 2 gold dinars in head tax? How much of the tax money has been stolen by the rats!"

As a high-level exploiter who can collect taxes from the dead, Ahmed adheres to the principle of sustainable exhaustion of resources in his treatment of every village nearby.

Even if it was the town of Alhadi, and he had the same beliefs as himself, so what?
At most, they would give these believers a 20% discount when extorting money.

“But when the descendants of Adam and Hawa multiplied on the earth, kingdoms were divided, people were divided into high and low, and sin began to spread!”

"In the beginning, the sins of the earth were washed away by Allah with a flood, but now? Look around, are you all sinful? Are the princes, nobles, tax collectors and corrupt officials so high and mighty that they go against Allah's will?"

"The flood is not far away! Everyone! The flood is coming!"

Gellis's loud preaching was actually taking advantage of a loophole. If he had said these words to a Christian theologian who was familiar with the Bible, or a Jewish rabbi, he would only have been met with a sneer.

But to Muslims, his words are quite confusing.

It’s not that Muslims believe in Gairis’s lies, but there are a lot of missing parts in the Quran about the flood that destroyed the world...

Both the Christian and Jewish versions of the Book of Genesis clearly state that Noah made a covenant with Jehovah, in which Jehovah promised never to cleanse the world with a flood again, and used a rainbow as a witness. Therefore, for Christians, the destruction of the world by flood is completely a thing of the past.

However, the Koran does not mention the specific content of the covenant with God, nor does it make it clear whether Allah is real or not, and does not intend to destroy the world with a flood again.

With Garys's ability to interpret the truth in a perverted way, he could even interpret the words spoken by Jesus in reverse. What's more, your scripture was not originally written in full, which is even more embarrassing...
