SOME of the wars called the "Crusades" involved the taking and retaking of Jerusalem. The Crusades were different wars with different characters. One, the Fourth, have nothing to do with the Muslims at all, but concerned the capture of Constantinople by the Latins from the Greeks. Another was an invasion of Egypt (Muslim, but definitely not where one would find Jerusalem). Of eight, sometimes nine, designated Crusades, only the First (where the Crusaders took Jerusalem)and Third (where the Muslims held on to it) were significant on that basis.
Other so-called "Crusades" (e.g., the Albigensian Crusade) were actually purges of heretical sects from within Catholic territory.
One also occasionally hears the word "crusade" used to mean a non-military collective struggle for some desirable social change, for example: "Crusade for Literacy" or "Crusade for Childhood Vaccination."
The Muslim version of Crusade is "Jihad." Both terms have a) a military meaning and b) a nonmilitary one, which the professing group insists is the "real" meaning and which the opposing group prefers to ignore.
