“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.
