@Dont_Even_Think: "                          *Thus spake God's Creator*
The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to regain control of
the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Christian Holy Land from Muslims. What
started as a minor call for aid quickly turned into a wholesale migration and
conquest of territory outside of Europe. Both knights and peasants from many
different nations of western Europe, with little central leadership,
traveled over land and by sea towards Jerusalem and captured the city in
July 1099, establishing the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the other Crusader states.
God's Creator

Yes you�re right, it wasn't an act of love. It was an act of self defence.
In 391 AD, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. By
600 AD the vast majority of the Roman world was Christian. Then in the mid
6th century, Islam emerged from Arabia and aggressively moved west into the
Christian world. This was the start of over 400 years of Islamic attacks
into the Christian world before the first Crusade begun. Not to mention the
eastern expansion of Islam into Persian and Indian based civilisations, with
also saw great suffering.
633, Islamic forces invade into Syria and Palestine
638, Jerusalem, Antioch, Tripoli and Cyprus fall
640, Egypt invaded
642, Alexandria falls
642, Crete attacked
652, Sicily attacked
698, Carthage falls
670 & 716, Constantinople attacked
711 & 714, Sardinia attacked
711, Spain invaded
713, 725 & 732, France invaded
827, Sicily attacked again
Then in 1071 Seljuk Turks invaded the Christian Byzantine Empire and took
Anatolia. Considering the above, I would have thought it natural for Emperor
Alexius 1 to call on Pope Urban and ask for assistance from Western Europe."
