"Actually, the Crusades were a counter offensive against centuries of Muslim aggression and conquest."

The First Crusade played a very important part in Medieval England. The First Crusade was an attempt to re-capture Jerusalem. After the capture of Jerusalem by the Muslims in 1076, any Christian who wanted to pay a pilgrimage to the city faced a very hard time. Muslim soldiers made life very difficult for the Christians and trying to get to Jerusalem was filled with danger for a Christian. This greatly angered all Christians.

The Muslims had control for 400 years prior to the Crusades my misinformed poster. The aggressor was the West. Maybe after a thousand years the muslims are sick of our meddling in THEIR affairs.
