The Crusades Were Not For Jews. . . . which s strange since if the antichrisis were "God's Chosen" people then you would have thought that the Crusaders would have planned to turn Jersualem over to the jews/antichrists. . . boy I wonder why that wasn't the plan?

the crusades were a joke and a horrifying abomination of christian faith and ideals. the mere fact that they were so pathetically unsuccessful gives testiment to the fact that the crusaders were indeed not god's "chosen people." they are nothing more than another example of jews and muslims being systematic massacred for no other reason than hatred and intolerance.

Oh joker if the crusades were an abomination then obviously jews returning to Jersualem is an abomination since they have slaughtered all sorts of arabs promoting "antisemitism". . obvioulsy jews promoting "antisemtism" is evil. . . .hahahah funny thinking that farce is going to answer . . . so you had better change your signature . . .

I just don't feel that much sympathy for the arabs since they are just as guilty for the slaughter of jews due to antisemitism as Jews are of slaughtering arabs. What goes around comes around.

The Crusades were nothing more than Christians slaughtering Jews/Muslims, Muslims taking revenge, Christians taking revenge and failing. I regret that Islam was ever involved, cant we all just share Jerusalem.

My favorite part of the Crusades is the "Children's Crusades" where people would suit their children in armor and send them to the Holy Lands thinking that their God would bless their innocence and that they would defeat the unholy barbarians. Let's just say that it didn't quite work out that way.

Stupid religious people.

Although they were a miserable failure in terms of their planned goals, the Crusades were one of the most important European wars. Before the Crusades, Europe was a desolate place stricken with immense poverty and internal warfare. Feudal lords engaged in skirmishes against each other over petty differences that usually resulted in nothing more than the destruction of much needed farmland and the deaths of much needed laborers. The church tried various methods to curb this violence (the most amusing being what was called "God's Truce," in which it tried to restrict fighting to only certain days of the week), but it was ultimately unsuccessful. The Crusades, however, were able to redirect this violence towards a common enemy. Therefore, feudal warfare in Europe vastly diminished.

Islamic culture had always been more advanced than European, philosophically, intelectually, and technologically. The Crusades helped introduced this advanced culture to Europe, causing an explosion in intellectual and philosophical thought as well as technological developments. As Europeans slowly gained more wealth due to better agricultural conditions and less internal struggles, Europeans began to crave Islamic commodities, such as spice and silk, jump-starting the commercial revolution that hit Europe during the Middle Ages.

Before the Crusades, Europe was considered a wasteland by virtually the entire world. The Muslims considered Europeans to be barbarians, and both they and the Vikings used them simply as a source of slaves and supplies which they took by force. Europe changed dramatically and quickly after the Crusades, and without them, it is quite possible that the Renaissance may never have occurred or occurred much later than it did.
