You, and the author of this article, have got cause and effect reversed.

The crusades were launched long after Islam launched its attacks on Europe, and long, long after the slaugher of Christians and Jews in the initial expansion of Islam in Africa and the Middle East. They were a counter-attack, pure and simple. Without them Islam would have conquered Europe.

Your moral equivalance argument just won't work.

To put it in simpler terms, what if you shot my brother, raped my wife, enslaved my kids, and are now trying to kill me too? Are we morally equivalent if I hunt you down and kill you instead?

One more time! I don't agree with the article! I posted it for exposure of a bunch of lies and half truths about Christians. :-)
