Plague And Religion

Christian and Muslim view on the plague are different because of their point of view on religion , the situation and their view on how it all started.
The plague started in Asia, as people fled from Asia they unknowingly brought the plague to Europe.Europe is a great breeding ground for the plague because of living conditions. When the plague hit Europe it spread like wildfire because of the cramped living conditions. Living conditions in Europe weren't so great, history they tell us that it might have started because of fleas or rats and during this time in Europe it might have been typical to see rats around the city.
In Christianity people believe God is cleansing the Earth or he is punishing mankind for their sines.The people turn to
him for forgiveness So they do not stray for his path and perish.Also they believed that as reward for their sines that God placed Death at their door. The Christians also believe that the Jews brought the plague to them because they did see the plague start to happen until the merchants started to show up at the city. They viewed the plague as a bad thing and they couldn't find anyone else to blame but the jews. Christians had sixteen thousand and more than nine hundred were burned on the grounds of a Jewish cemetery.Sixteen major communities and many smaller communities were destroyed, many massacres had taken place during the time of Black Death in Europe. The town council of Strasbourg tried to protect the Jews but they were over ran by the mob.
