No. The Crusades were wars fought between Christians and Islam.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam - And the Crusades - was created in 2005.
The two rival religions involved in the Crusades were Christianity and Islam. Christians from Europe launched military campaigns (Crusades) to reclaim holy sites in the Middle East from Muslim control.
Most of the crusades we think of were wars with Christians on one side and Muslims on the other, so the answer would be Christianity and Islam. There were other crusades, however, with other religious intent. The Albigensian Crusade was one of several against Christian heretics. The Hussite Crusade was against protestants (Catholic vs. Protestant). There were crusades against pagans (Christian vs. pagan), and there were crusades against Mongol hordes (Christian vs. Mongol). There was even one crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, which was really a war between the Pope and the King of Aragon over possession of land.
Christianity, Roman Catholic and Orthodox, and Islam
something
Christmas is not against Islam.
Salah al-Din (Saladin) emerged as a prominent Muslim leader during the Crusades and played a key role in the Muslim victory against the Crusaders. The Crusades spurred his rise to power and allowed him to unite Muslim forces against the Christian invaders. His success in expelling the Crusaders from Jerusalem in 1187 solidified his reputation as a champion of Islam.
The Crusades were primarily fought between Christians from Western Europe and Muslims in the Middle East.
The Muslims controlled the Holy Land after the crusades ended.
Medieval crusades were caused by conflict between Christianity and Islam in Palestine. Christian Europe and Islamic Turcs had interests in the same area.
The advance of Islam into Europe by the Seljuk Turks, later the Ottoman Empire ended with the Crusades. Infighting among the various Muslims sects and empires stimulated by the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition coupled with the prerequisites for an industrial revolution found in Britain denuded the Middle east of resources at a critical time of developement. In a sense the Crusades began the equivalent of the Dark Ages for Islamic empires.
