The muslims hated us and each other long before the Crusades. The intolerance of any viewpoint other than their own sect (one of 73 versions) to the point of civil war slaughter dates back to AD 600’s and lasted well past 1150.

But it wasn’t the Crusades that set the stage leading to Europe’s freedom from muslim rule - it was none other than the grandson of Genghis Khan. (and it was this grandson’s wife and his concubine who saved the Christian Nestorians in Baghdad) :

Actually, until the late 1800s the Crusades were completely forgotten in the Muslim world.

Why?

Because the Moslems WON.

After the 13th century, all the Crusader states were conquered and by 1453 the Empire of Rome - Constantinople - was conquered.

Islam won.

Why remember a forlorn counterattack? A Counter-attack that FAILED?
