From what I’ve studied the crusades were the nonmuslim response to a Jihad intended to take over the known world.

From what I’ve studied the crusades were the nonmuslim response to a Jihad intended to take over the known world.

Indeed, I was about to post the same sentiment.

Crusading Christians doled out retribution in kind, but it was nothing out of the ordinary for those times.

The Crusades happened in response to muslim aggression, persecution and murder of Christians by muslims and disruption of trade routes.
