- Title
THE CONQUEST OF CONQUESTS: THE ISLAMIC DISCOURSE REGARDING THE RECONQUEST OF JERUSALEM (1099-1187).
- Authors
ALBARRAN, JAVIER
- Abstract
Tlie conquest of Jerusalem by the Crusaders was a harsh and unexpected blow to the Islamic community, a calamity that immediately generated reactions ranging from grieving, to providentialism and calls for jihad. The purpose of this article is to briefly examine the discourse regarding the reconquest of Jerusalem articulated after the fall of al-Quds until its recovery by Saladin in 1187. I will also look at how these discursive strategies intertwine with other phenomena, such as the re-sacralization of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, jihad, and the process known as the "Sunni Revival". Likewise, special attention will be paid to the eschatological dimension that these reconquest-related lines of discourse featured.
