Jesuit missionary approaches to the 'Muslim infidels' and its impact today

With the approach of the Ottomans to Europe and the failed crusade, priests and missionaries decided to move forward against the Ottomans, the other and the Muslim infidels with the 'divine sword', defeating them by stabbing the 'divine sword' right through their hearts. Starting with the priest and missionary Juan de Segovia who happen to have written a polemic work against Islam, the Quran and its traditions, he never transferred his missions outside Europe but perhaps influenced other priests and missionaries with his approach and with his work to further his 'divine sword'. Ignatius de Loyola and his Jesuit Order were known for their 'universal' missions and their interactivity with 'Muslim infidels' outside Europe. Altough, Ignatius himself never left the borders of Europe for missionary purpose but his fellow 17th century Jesuit members did and they did so gradually by travelling an residing in countries like India, Japan and Mesopotamia. This thesis will show a more detailed insight on Jesuit missionary approaches to Muslims and their interactivity with them in and outside Europe.
