Description

"we fear what we do not understand". The terms Saracen and Sarakenoi were already used by writers of the first century to depict Northern Arabic people who fought against the Byzantium emperors and converted themselves to the Islam. During the middle ages the term was used to address every opponent of the Christian believes, whether they be Arabic, Persian or Turkish.
