Battle of Tours (732 A.D)

Interview with Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi: 743 A.D

What was the point of this battle?


Well, what we wanted to do was get France and turn it into a Islamic religion place, because we wanted Islam to be spread.  We heard that if we got this land to be Muslim, that Islam will be spread around the World.

How did you lose?


Well, we thought that with our amount of troops, that we could win the battle, no problem.  I didn't know this at the time, but the French army was very trained.  We got beaten by the brains and tactics of the French army.

Why is this so significant? 


If we, as in Islam, were to win this Battle of Tours, the main religion would have been Islam.  But, because the French won, they became Christians, and followed Christianity, Christian practice will most likely be one of the biggest religions ever.
