Don't know much about medieval history but I have read that the Crusades were simply a response to moslem invasions...not the other way around.

It is very difficult to read the truth.

Pope Pius’ description of the invasion is entirely inaccurate, though. Jerusalem under the Muslims was a sleepy backwater, until the Crusaders showed up. Sure, there was dhimma, occasional lynch mobs, some rapes here and there. But that’s life under Islam.

Exactly; Crusaders never attacked Mecca or Medina - they were trying to take back former Christian lands.
