“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.
