Paradise is under the shadow of the sword. In this belief the followers of Muhammed engaged in battle with out fear or anxiety, spurred to great deeds, reckless in the face of danger, happy to die and pass to the delights of Paradise. The holy war became an armed prop aganda pleasing to Allah. It was, however, a form of propaganda quite unknown and amazing to Christendom. In the course of two centuries the crescent had sup planted the cross. Of what avail was the peaceful mis sionary''s preaching if province after province and coun try after country were taken possession of by the new religion that forced its way by means of fire and sword?
