Shobak was a crusader fortress built during the first crusades in the twelfth century. The crusades were, as you probably know were launched to protect the holy lands from the infidel Muslims. A rational that conveniently overlooks the fact that the holy sites had been identified and were in the hands of orthodox Christians since the second century. The crusaders eliminated this embarrassment by slaughtering every Orthodox Christian they could find and there by wreaking more havoc on Christianity in the Middle East than the Muslims ever did.
