Who Was Involved

The crusades were between Christians and Muslims. They both were based their own religions, even though the both believe in God. Christianity is based off of the life and teachings of Christ. They believe that God came to earth in the form of a man named Jesus and that he died for their sin and rose again. Muslims believe in Islam, another religion that formed at the time of Christianity. They believe God or Allah reveled himself to a man named Muhammad and told him to start and spread a religion. The Muslims follow the five pillars as a guide whereas Christians use the Holy Bible. These are the two religions that were involved in the crusades.
            The two sides had different reasons for fighting. The Christians wanted the Holy Land or Jerusalem. Jerusalem had been lost from the Byzantine Empire because of the invading Turks. Jerusalem was important to the Christians because it held Jesus' tomb. At first the Turks and Arabs wanted more land so they took the land of Jerusalem. Since the Turks and Arabs were Muslims they did not like Christians in the city. So they persecuted them in Jerusalem and anywhere else they could find them. This led to the first crusade. Then when the Christians regained Jerusalem the Muslims didn't want the Christians there at all, so they basically kept fighting back until this led to the second crusade.
            The fighting continued throughout the years. The crusades lasted about 200 years and the Christians just didn't fight the Muslims. They fought with Egypt, non-Christians, the Muslims in Spain and more. Sadly all the land won in the first crusade fell under Muslim control. It looks like the Christians really didn't like any other religion to interfere with their way of life. These were the people involved in the crusades.

    3. Mohammed was born almost 600 years after Christ came. They did not know much about Christianity. They did not know much about Jerusalem. Mohammed told them of three places they should go to pray. Jerusalem was one of those places. Christianity started in Jerusalem. It was where Jesus was crucified and his followers expanded from there with his 12 disciples and their friends and families. They were persecuted by the Romans, and were slaves basically. Then they were persecuted by the Muslims. The Muslims joined with Hitler in WW2, called the Ottoman Empire at that time. It was a loose arrangement of warring bodies all along, still is. The Christian warriors in the Crusades were just protecting Christians who were on a pilgrimage to the holy land. They were attacked and beheaded until protection was provided to them.
