Quotes by Nigel Cliff (?)

“Christianity and Islam are sister religions, and in Iberia they long lived side by side. If you are about to hunt your sister out of your home, you need to work yourselves into a much more self-righteous frenzy than if you were expelling a stranger.”
― Nigel Cliff, The Last Crusade: The Epic Voyages of Vasco da Gama

“It was Islam鈥檚 armies and the empire they spread across three continents that reduced Christianity, with a few scattered exceptions, to a European faith.”
― Nigel Cliff, The Last Crusade: The Epic Voyages of Vasco da Gama

“Death had always stalked the explorers, but in an age that held life cheap the risk had been worth the reward. Men who lived in hope of heaven and fear of hell had been eager to serve as Crusaders; men born into poverty had hungered to touch the wealth of the East. Yet the wealth had stuck to the fingers of the elite, and faith had proved a poor defense against disease, famine, and storms.”
― Nigel Cliff, Holy War: How Vasco da Gama's Epic Voyages Turned the Tide in a Centuries-Old Clash of Civilizations
