Resource summary
Why was the Muslim world so divided on the eve of the crusades?
Religious Schism
Annotations:
Schism- a division of people, usually belonging to an organisation (in this case Islam: Shia and Sunni)
The Sunni Seljuq against the Shi'ite Fatimids of Cario
Battleground at Syria and Palestine
Two powers made it unthinkable to form a united font against the crusaders.
Death of Islamic Leaders
1092- Sultan of the Seljuq empire, Malikshah and his vizier, Nizam al-Mulk.
1094- Fatimid caliph of Egypt, al-Mstansir (ruled for 58 years) and his vizie, Badr al-JAmali.
1094- Abbasid Sunni Caliph al-Muqtadi Died.
The successoion death of both the Suljuq and Fatimid empires occurring at the same time had a destabilizing effect on the Islamic world.
The Sunni and Shi'ite both had given away to division and increased anarchy.
Suljuq Disunity
Death of Nizam al-Mulk and Malikshah in 1092 - The Suljuq world divided
Military conflict lasted until 1105
Conflict between the two sons of Malikshah, Muhammad and Barkyaruq fought out in western Iraq
They used up most of the military resources by this conflict
Two sons had Zero interest in the Levant and left Jerusalem to its fate
Aftermath of Manzikert
Seljuq Sultan Alp Arslan allows independency to Turkish leaders to carve out their own territories.
Tribes showed little unity from the beginning.
