“Against the Crescent”

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

The following is a sample from the Episcopalian Bishop, Arthur Cleveland Coxe’s hymn of “Christian love”: 

“Trump of the Lord!  I hear it blow!

Forward the Cross; the world shall know,

Jehovah’s arms against the foe;

Down shall the cursed Crescent go!

To arms!  To arms!

God wills it so.” 

Islamophobia in Christianity is not a new phenomenon.  This hymn dates from the mid-1800s.
