Chapter 10

In this chapter it discusses the Christianity in both Asia and Africa.  in Asia at the time Islam was taking over as the number one religion so the Christian communities had to negotiate and pay a special tax in order to practice their religion at the time. But sometimes their churches were destroyed, their fields were burned and destroyed and they were forced to wear distinctive clothing. During this time Muslims controlled everything, and they were upset that the Christian practiced another religion, so the Christians lived in fear. Later the Chinese state turned against all religions including Buddhism. But later during the Mongol conquest the Mongols allowed a return of Christianity,  but when the Mongol rule ended the small number of Chinese Christianity almost completely fell of the map.

In Africa Christianity was the religion of the majority. During the mid 14th century there was anti-Christian groups who destroyed churches and forcefully removed Christians from the land. So as a result of this more people converted to Islam to avoid this. Ethiopia became an island for the Christians , and due to the isolation of the religion Ethopian Christianity developed some of the most distinct features.
