Answer 1
The Holy Land
Answer 2
While Answer 1 may have been correct 800-1000 years ago, it is no longer correct. This is especially true since Israel (a Jewish State) controls much of the Holy Land. There is no specific piece of land that Christians want that Muslims have. Christians want Islamic Countries to legalize proselytization of non-Islamic faiths and equalize the treatment of non-Muslims. This is what the Muslims control that Christians would like the power to reverse.

The Muslims had control over Palestine, where Jesus lived and died (especially Jerusalem, which is located in Palestine). The Crusades were an attempt to put Christians back in control of Palestine. The Crusades were for the most part a failed military disaster, and finally the Christians and the Muslims came to an agreement: The Muslims would continue to control Palestine, and the Christians were allowed to visit there and make pilgrimages to Holy Sites in Palestine.
The Pope wanted the crusaders to drive the Muslims out of the Holy Land and return control to Christians.
