Actually, the Crusades did little to stop the spread of Islam into Europe. Charles Martel in the West and Vlad Dracul in the East were far more effective.
That history may or may not be true -- I'm not a historian -- but it is certainly unconventional and for that reason, highly suspect without a heck of a lot of evidence to back it up. I am certainly not buying it.

The World Wide Web is font of knowledge, and can be used easily to verify historical facts.
