تطور الموقف الفاطمي من الوجود الصليبي في ظل التجاذبات المذهبية بين القوى الإسلامية بالمشرق الإسلامي (490 هـ-515 هـ، 1096 م-1121 م)‎

الملخص EN

The present article treat one of the most important crusade presence subjects in the Islamic levent.

it consists of analysing the nature of reactions made by mains Islamic political forces in the levent territory to the first crusade campaign in 490 Hijri /1096 AD beginning with different doctrine ambivalences between Sunnite Seljukids and Shiite Fatimids.

we took as a focus, the Shiite Ismaelite Fatimids ruling in cairo and their spineless and coward reaction to the crusade siege of Antioch that some historians criticised and some others tried to find justifications to; after that we treated the the development of that position once the crusade army marched on the Southern levent and were determined to take Jerusalem controlled by Fatimids.

at that time, Egypt rulers got involved in resistance efforts against the approaching enemy.

more than that, the powerful Fatimid Visir al'Afdhal ibn Badr al Jamali surpassed the doctrine differences and coordinated actions with Sunnite Damascus rulers to counter crusades and force them to withdraw.

stopping them from having more achievements at the cost of Muslims.
