Evidence
And then everything changed, and Muslims, instead of invading and domiĀ nating Christendom, were invaded and dominated by Christian powers. The resulting frustration and anger at what seemed to them a reversal of both natural and divine law have been growing for centuries, and have reached a climax in our own time. ā Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 1785
