You can claim that if you want .... why don't we build a memorial to the Mongols outside Baghdad, or a big cross as a memorial to the Crusaders next to somewhere the Crusaders masssacred someone? To improve dialogue and understanding.

The Christian Crusades were a response to multiple Moslem Crusades over several centuries against Christian lands and people in Egypt, North Africa, Chaldea, Spain, France, Byzantium, Christian Anatolia, and Christian Palestine. For centuries, the Muslims had brutalized these population and forced them to convert to Mohammedanism. The Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem were robbed and murdered on their pilgrimage for centuries. After centuries of this Muslim brutality, the Christian of Europe finally had enough and sent an army to Jerusalem to secure the Christian Churches and holy places. You can't simply jump over centuries of Muslim abuses and Muslim anti Christian Crusades and try to interpret the Christian Crusades in a vacuum. Your comments indicate that you either lack a knowledge of history or a sense of ethics and morality. Then again, you might just be an anti Christian bigot.
