They raped, killed, enslaved, and forcibly converted all those who disagreed with them and their religion. Most of the Middle East was Christian, Jewish, or worshiped a Pantheon of Gods. I am sure your aware of this but you know Officers have a way of forgetting facts or ignoring truths to win a point or achieve an objective. Now, I am saying that the response by the Christian were correct but sometimes their are no good options other than war. The Christians committed atrocities just like the Muslims did. No one was right or innocent on either side!
Once the Muslems took the Iberean Peninsula it was Do or Die time -
The Crusades were:
"The Last Best Hope for Survival"
Nimitz
