No apologies for the Crusades, at least to the Islamics. They were justifiable and even noble wars of defense against Muslim aggression and conquest.
The Jewish community is owed a deep and heartfelt apology for the behavior of some of the Crusaders, but that is a whole different story.

Vlad the Impaler was one of the greatest war leaders to defend Europe from the Muslim invaders. War at that time was barbaric by today’s PC standards.
