In Palestine and Syria, Umar's army had created the impression that they were warring against the Byzantine empire rather than against local people, and the local Christians looked upon the emperor at Constantinople as an enemy. They were Monophysite Christians, abused by the Trinity-believing emperors seeking religious conformity.
Generally the Islamic forces had been disciplined, while fighting on empty stomachs and depending upon plunder for their meals. The conquerors had taken over the land and houses that had been abandoned by those fleeing to Constantinople. The conquerors had plundered the wealthy while in general the common people (who had little to plunder) found them well-behaved.
With conquest by the Muslims had come no missionaries attempting to interfere with the religious beliefs and practices of local people. People could worship as they pleased, but they were given the choice of converting to Islam or paying taxes. If they both refused to pay taxes and refused to convert to Islam they were subject to the penalty of death.

How did Crusade end?
The ninth and last major Crusade to the Levant occurred in 1271-2, although other armed attacks in Europe were also called Crusades. After a long series of losses in Palestine, there was little stomach left for further adventures in Palestine. The 1287 Christian attack on the Muslim citizens of Acre gave the Islamic leader a pretext to attack the city. Its conquest by the Muslims in 1291 left the Christians with control of no major city in the Middle East. The Knights Hospitaller were forced to leave for the island of Rhodes. Although the Muslims now controlled the entire Near East, they permitted Christians and Jews to remain.
