Slavery and crusades
The founding-intention for the Order was the ransom of Christians held captive by non-believers during the time of the Crusades.
- It`s certainly true that the founding intention was to free Christian slaves, but this has to bee seen in a broader picture then just the time of the crusades. Slavery of Christans (and other Nonmuslims) was a problem before the crusades, during and long time after the crusades. Also not only Crusaders where captured and or enslaved. It was a development that culminated in the conflicts during the 16 and 19. century. Barbary States see also: Arab slave trade 62.178.137.216 (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
