Islam is the religion of savagery.
The Muslims are savages.
Throughout history they have always been savages and nothing has

The sooner they are brought under control,or better yet eradicated,

Who Were the Canaanites, and Why Did God Order Their Destruction?

A band of raiders are holding hostage a group of women and children. They
have been abusing them for days and there is no end in sight. Word of their plight comes to an elite team of special op soldiers. The soldiers
infiltrate the base of the men, killing each of them, and rescuing the
women and children.

A group of settlers are happily farming in their fields. Young and elderly, men and women, are working the fields. They have little to no political affiliation, they are just simple people hoping to live out their days in their fields, loving their families, and doing honest work. Suddenly a
plane from a neighboring country is seen over the horizon. Within moments
the entire village is razed. Every member of that community is declared
dead.

We laud the soldiers in the first story has heroic but recognize the planes
in the second story as evil. When we are addressing the Canaanites, what
group do they belong to? Are they in the category of evil raiders, or uneventful settlers? There isnAt an easy answer to these questions but as
we explore more about the Canaanites, perhaps we can come to a bit more
clear of an answer.
Who Were the Canaanites?

The Canaanites descend from the grandson of Noah, Canaan. He was cursed because of his sin against Noah (Genesis 9:20-25). In Genesis 10:15-19 we
read of 11 groups in the area of Syria and Palestine that descended from Canaan. Thus, at times the Canaanites point to a specific group of people (Joshua 11:3) but also it can refer to any of those who are mentioned in
the Genesis 10 table of nations. This is why many scholars today consider
the Canaanites more of an ethnic unit than a nation, per se. Some even consider them to be a specific social class (merchants). But much of these references is based upon Egyptian and Mari history.

What specifically was considered Canaanite territory? Walter Elwell
helpfully draws the geographical boundaries for us:

oThe first six [of the 11 people groups from Genesis 10] evidently occupied territory at or south of Sidon, whereas the others lived farther north. The northerners mostly settled on the edge of the coastal plain; in the south, settlement spread eastward to the upland areas. To the north, Canaan
extended to Latakia, just south of Ugarit, and inland to Hamath. To the
south, Canaanite territory stretched to the Negeb desert area, with no
clear boundaries. OT references specifically placed the Canaanites in
western PalestineAs valleys and coastal areas; the upland country was
occupied by Amorites and other peoples.o

But what kind of people were the Canaanites? It seems from GodAs promise to Abraham that they were wicked and idolatrous people. In Genesis 15:16 the
LORD made reference to the Canaanites when he said, othe sin of the
Amorites (Canaanites) has not yet reached its full measure.o God was
waiting to fulfill his justice against this people. And it seems that as history trudged along, the Canaanites became increasingly wicked.
Where Do We See the Canaanites in the Bible?

Canaan, the progenitor of the Canaanites, first appears in the story of
Noah as one who did not cover their fatherAs shame. The Canaanites next
appear in the table of nations. From this point forward they serve as the backdrop to the promise of Abraham. It is the land where the Canaanites
dwell that God promises to give to Abraham. This is the role they play throughout this part of the Old Testament narrative. We see the Canaanites play a prominent role in the early pages of the Bible.

In Numbers 13, when the spies report back of the strong people who have
large fortified cities, it is the Canaanites whom they are referring to.
These are the people of the land and the ones that it will require GodAs strength to conquer. During the Exodus and wilderness period, they also
serve as a threat to the religious purity of the Israelites. Their
polytheism and godless living held out a temptation to the devotion to the
God of Israel.

The Canaanites appear most prominently, though, in the story of Numbers and Joshua as the conquest of Israel. When most talk about the Canaanites, it
is their destruction which serves as the topic of conversation. In Joshua
6:1 we read that othey utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.o

But why did this happen? Did God order this? Was this the Israelites taking the land of innocent bystanders? Is this more like the story of the rescue from raiders or bombing a people group who were minding their own business? What Happened to the Canaanites?

The destruction of the Canaanites is a difficult story within Scripture. It does not seem to fit with the narrative of God aiming to bless the nations through Abraham u genocide doesnAt seem to fit that storyline. So how do we make sense of this story?

One attempt to rescue God from the story of the Canaanites is to say that Israel did this all on their own. They wanted land. They took it. End of story. The only problem with this oouto is that it is not the way the Bible reads. In other places in Scripture where people did what displeased the
Lord, we read of that in the narrative. But the exact opposite happens with this story. In The God I DonAt Understand, Christopher J.H. Wright says it well:

oOn the contrary, the refusal of the exodus generation to go ahead and do
it (in the great rebellion of Kadesh Barnea in Numbers 14), and the failure
of the following generations to complete the task properly, are condemned
as disobedience to GodAs will (Ps. 106:24-35).

It is clear from the narrative that God ordered the Israelites to take the land. He gave it into their hands. It is God who is given credit for the
fall of Jericho. As much as it might help our comfort, we cannot remove God from the story of the destruction of the Canaanites. But what do we do with this story?

John H. Walton in his excellent book The Lost World of Israelite Conquest gives twenty-one propositions to the make the argument that herem (what God ordered) was not so much an order to kill everyone by the sword but instead
is more about rooting out ethnic identityuit was about taking away their godless community. A fitting illustration might be to say it could be
compared to the Ally invasion of Nazi Germany (I am indebted to The Bible Project for this illustration). Or to use our illustration previously, this would be akin to destroying a band of raiders in order to rescue others.
But Walton is quick to note that this narrative isnAt about punishing the Canaanites:

oawe have to stop imagining the purpose of the conquest account is to teach
us that GodAs ideal of goodness involves us going out and killing
Canaanites (or whomever they represent today) and then either adopting that idea or rationalizing it away by embellishing the text so that killing Canaanites seems good according to our own logic.o (Walton, 29)

Though there is much to commend in WaltonAs work, I lean more towards the explanation of Christopher J.H. Wright. There is language of Canaanite
guilt and GodAs judgment. The Scriptures point out the evil of Canaanite society for a reason. Certainly, it is to juxtapose it with that which is expected of Israel, but itAs also to set the stage for the just judgment of God against their wickedness. And itAs not a far stretch to see Genesis 15 even as a warning or a call to repentance for the Israelite neighbors.
Wright explains it well:

oThe degraded character of Canaanite society and religion is more
explicitly described in moral and social terms in Leviticus 18:24-25;
20:22-24 and in Dt 9:5; 12:29-31. It includes the sexual promiscuity and perversion particularly associated with fertility cults as well as the callousness of child sacrifice. This is reinforced in the historical texts, with additional notes about social oppression and violence (1 Kings 14:24; 21:26; 2 Kings 16:3; 17:8; 21:2). Now if we take all these texts seriously
as part of GodAs own explanation for the events that unfold in the book of Joshua, we cannot avoid their implications. The conquest was not human genocide. It was divine judgment.o (Wright, 93)

Ultimately, though, the Canaanite conquest isnAt supposed to make sense.
ItAs supposed to be unsettling. War isnAt part of the Garden of Eden. We
see in Christ that even stories like the Israelite conquest of the
Canaanites is redeemed.
How Does the Story of the Canaanites Point to Jesus?

Whether your view is closer to Walton or Wright the point is clearuthe conquest was about establishing GodAs kingdom and driving out sin and unbelief. This is also the mission of God through Jesus Christ. He is replacing all sin and unbelief with passionate worship of Jesus. He is rescuing and redeeming all that is broken and putting in its place peace.
Yes, this means that conquest of evil is necessary. But Jesus conquers
through the cross. His violent death will eventually put an end to all
violent deaths.

Sin is serious and carries with it consequence. That is part of what we can learn from this story. But we would be remiss not to point to Jesus Christ. Even here in the story of the Canaanites, we can see GodAs intention to
bless the nations through the seed of Abraham. God will get his people to
the promise land. ThatAs the point.

The story of the Canaanites is a difficult one to reckon with. We do well
to let the Bible speak for itself and even allow our questions at times to remain unanswered. God is rescuing people from every tribe. He is ending
all sin and unbelief (even in our own hearts) and he is ultimately doing it through the self-sacrifice of His Son. When we wrestle with stories like
this, we must come to the conclusion that the judge of the earth will do
what is right. This is a sure and certain promise.

The capture of Jerusalem from Muslim control
was the primary goal of the First Crusade
(1095-1102 CE), a combined military campaign
organised by western rulers, the Pope, and
the Byzantine Empire. There followed a mass
slaughter of all the Muslims and Jews of
Jerusalem, the latter being seen as
accomplices. The city was systematically
ransacked and looted for its precious
objects, and when the dead piled up
to such an extent that they threatened
to spread disease, Muslim prisoners were
forced to burn the bodies of their fellows
outside the city in huge pyres before
themselves being massacred in cold blood.
