What wars between Muslims and Christians to take Jerusalem?
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.

What were the crusaders and why were they fought?
Between 1096 and 1291 eight Crusades were fought. Jerusalem was a holy place for three religions -- the Jewish, Muslim and Christian religions. For the Jewish, it was the place where one of their fore fathers, Solomon had built his temple. For Muslims, it was where their prophet Muhammad was taken back to heaven. For Christians, it was the place where Jesus preached and was crucified. For many years Muslim Arabs had control over Jerusalem and they allowed Christian pilgrims to travel through and live there in peace. They even allowed them to build their churches. Then in 1050 a group of Turkish Muslims took control over Jerusalem. They did not tolerate the Christians and many were killed. The Muslims even burned down the churches that the Christians had built. The remaining Christians that were still in Jerusalem sent the worrying news back to the Pope- Pope Urban II. '... Distressing news has come to us from the region of Jerusalem... that an alien people... has invaded Christian territory with pillage, fire and the sword. The Turks have taken some of these Christians as captives into their own country. They have completely destroyed some of God's churches.' (S.O.S.E 2 p49 source 2.8.3 extract from pope Urban II speech). The Pope responded with the first crusade in 1096.
