I'm not sure, but I believe that the Muslims were within sight of Vienna when the Christians FINALLY stopped them......oh, those HIDEOUS Crusades!!! If it weren't for the Christian Knights, we would all be praying to Allah .....eek!

Captain John Smith (of Jamestown) learned Turkish while a prisoner of war. Since it was widely rumored that Turkish could be used in the Americas, he was chosen to head up the colony. Presumably he was prepared to negotiate with the natives.

That's a full half a millenium AFTER the Crusades!

Oh, yes, forgot ~ if the Chaldean Church had become dominant in Christianity (rather than Rome and Byzantium), you would be calling God, Allah anyway.
