THYSELF, O LORD - Charles Martel - Battle of Tours

THYSELF, O LORD

São Tomás de Aquino, o "Doutor Angélico", certa vez, diante de um crucifixo em Nápoles, ouviu estas palavras de Jesus: “Bem tem você escrito sobre Mim, Tomás, o que devo te dar em recompensa?" São Tomás respondeu: “Ti mesmo, meu Senhor". Em latim, São Tomás disse: Nil, Nisi 

Te, Domine ("Nada senão a Ti mesmo, meu Senhor). Em inglês: Naught save Thyself, O Lord.

Que tal "Je Suis Charles Martel", França?. 

Allez les Bleus.

 

A França já foi "Je Suis Chalie Hebdo" e o Charlie Hebdo fugiu da luta e se rebaixou ao Islã, depois dos ataques.

A França devia escolher alguém que a fundou, que protegeu o cristianismo contra o Islã na Batalha de Tours (também conhecida como Batalha de Poitiers) em 732. Ótima sugestão do site SmoothStone.

França, diga com orgulho: "Je Suis Charles Martel" e defenda sua cultura do Islã novamente.

Ficar na lógica do "multiculturalismo" e do "politicamente correto" será sua destruição!!

Aqui vai vídeo sobre a Batalha de Tours e a descrição da vida do avô de Carlos Magno, grande Charles Martel, do site The American Catholic.

Charles Martel, “The Hammer”, led a life of conflict.  An illegitimate son of Pepin of Herstal, Mayor of the Palace and the true power behind the Merovingian puppet kings, after the death of his father he had to fight his father’s legitimate offspring who sought to deprive him of any share in his father’s inheritance.  Fortunately for Charles a streak of military genius ran through him, and he won battles against the odds, using force multiplying stratagems, including feigned retreats, and attacking in the middle of the day when armies of his time normally took a siesta.  By 717 he was in control of Neustria, showing mercy unusual for his day in letting his defeated adversaries live and treating them with kindness.

The 28 year old ruler now entered a round of endless wars with neighboring kingdoms, gradually extending his power, and building up a professional force of infantry to supplement the peasant levies that made up the vast bulk of most Frankish armies.

A friend and patron of Saint Boniface, he also began the alliance between the rulers of the Franks and the Popes.  He contributed much land to the Church, but roused ecclesiastical ire when he took some back to support his troops.  He might have been excommunicated if both Church and State had not suddenly confronted a common foe.

In 711 the forces of Islam began the conquest of Spain, helped along by Christian traitors.  Within a decade almost all of Spain had fallen, with small proto-kingdoms of Spaniards clinging to a precarious independence in the mountains of northern Spain.  Mohammed had died less than a century before in 632, and in that intervening period Islam had conquered the Middle East, northern Africa and seemed poised to do the same in Europe against the petty Christian kingdoms that specialized in ceaseless internecine war, seemingly weakening themselves before  their Islamic foes lifted a finger.

With Spain subdued, Muslim raids into what is now France became common.  In 732 Abd-al-Raḥmân, governor of Muslim Spain, led a predominantly cavalry army of 25,000 men north on a great raid beyond the Pyrenees, perhaps the prelude to a war of  conquest.

Charles Martel rallied together an infantry army of 15,000, and in early October 732 his army and that of Abd-al-Raḥmân confronted each other for seven days outside of Tours, Martel making certain to occupy the high ground.   Martel had his army drawn up in a huge phalanx.  Tiring of the stalemate, on October 10, 732 Abd-al-Raḥmân launched cavalry charge after cavalry charge against the Franks.  A Muslim chronicler tells us what happened next:

And in the shock of the battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that cannot be moved. Firmly they stood, one close to another, forming as it were a bulwark of ice; and with great blows of their swords they hewed down the Arabs. Drawn up in a band around their chief, the people of the Austrasians carried all before them. Their tireless hands drove their swords down to the breasts [of the foe].

Martel launched an attack on the enemy camp, causing Abd-al-Raḥmân to order a retreat to his camp.  The retreat became a rout after Abd-al-Raḥmân  was killed in the fighting.

A Christian chronicle sums up the outcome of Tours:

Prince Charles boldly drew up his battle lines against them [the Arabs] and the warrior rushed in against them. With Christ’s help he overturned their tents, and hastened to battle to grind them small in slaughter. The king Abdirama having been killed, he destroyed [them], driving forth the army, he fought and won. Thus did the victor triumph over his enemies.

After Tours, Charles spent the rest of his life fighting off Islamic invasions from Spain.  Much hard fighting remained ahead, but Tours was the turning point.  The Franks would remain Christians and they ensured that Europe would remain Christian, thanks to God and the hard fighting Charles Martel and his Frankish infantry.

Abrir o país às falanges infernais muçulmanas e receber os refugiados - serão mesmo, muito mais homens que mulheres, já daria para desconfiar!

Güenta essa, Ocidente, Alcorão, livro de paz!

Eles são nossos inimigos. Não pode haver dúvida quanto a isto.

Eu comparo os militantes muçulmanos aos orcs: com eles não há rendição, nem armistício. Você tem que combatê-los até o fim, para ganhar a guerra, ou para cair com honra.

Como escrevi no meu artigo "Trying to Catch The Deluge", a ideologia/religião islâmica é um mal que precisa ser entendido e combatido.

Abraço, caro Ricardo.

Prezado Erick,

Nos últimos fins de semana assisti a trilogia do Senhor dos Anéis. E parece que o Ricardo também a de concordar comigo, os maometanos parecem mesmo com os orcs. Talvez tolkien tenha antevisto as ebulições que haverão de ocorrer no mundo.

Viva Cristo Rei !!!

Viva Nossa Senhora do Rosário que em Lepanto deu a vitória aos cristãos.

Caro Emanoel,

O grande enorme Tolkien sabia muito bem o que era o bem e o mal. E também sabia que o mal não consegue vencer o bem, por mais forte que seja.

Mas acho que em matéria de prever ataque religioso e cultural de mulçumanos Hilarie Belloc, outro grande escritor católico, previu com mais clareza.

O mundo precisa ler Belloc e também ler o Alcorão e a vida de Maomé, assim saberá do que se trata.

Não se pode ficar esperando por "professores universitários", os famosos especialistas. A enorme maioria detesta cristianismo e exalta tudo que é anticristão.

Como eu disse na Suécia certa vez: leiam o alcorão, é um livro pequeno, repetitivo e claro sobre o ódio de Alá aos infiéis e pecadores. O Islã é definitivamente uma desgraça religiosa, como disseram tantos santos católicos. Os especialistas sabem disso, mas fogem e escondem.

Abraço,

Pedro Erik
