"The problem with winning the Crusades back then was that historically the Mongol Hordes invaded the area a little over 100 years later." The mongols and the crusaders toyed with the idea of forming an alliance against the muslims, but they were never able to make it happen.

I thought history showed the Mongols eventually became Islamic. Basically adopting the religion to make it easier to rule the Islamic Regions. What is your evidence for Crusader and Mongol collaboration ?
