In reading a bio of the Hapsburg family, which dates back before the Crusades, I discovered that assaults from the Muslims were routine and that they, the Muslims including Seulieman the Turk, could be bought off. If you gave him enough money he'd leave you alone for a while.

So much for religious zealotry - it was and is all about conquering and control, not faith.
