Numerous Muslim Empires have conquered "the Holy Land". Most Muslims conquered it from other Muslims, since the various Muslim empires often fought one another. There were only three cases where Muslims took the land from non-Muslims:
(1) In 634-638 C.E. Caliph Omar led the conquest of the Levant from the Byzantine Empire.
(2) In 1291 C.E. Saladin the Ayyubite defeated the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem to restore Islamic control of the Holy Land. (They had lost it to the Crusaders in 1099 C.E.)
(3) In 1949 C.E. Armies of Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria all claimed parts of the Holy Land which had previously been administered by the British.

Should Christians take the Holy Land back from the Muslims?
A:The answer to this lies in whether Christians have a greater right to the Holy Land than do Muslims. The answer to this is that they do not. More controversially, perhaps even the Jews have no greater right to the Holy Land as a whole than do Muslims. Right now, Israel, a Jewish state, occupies most of the Holy Land. The Palestinians nominally occupy a smaller area of the Holy Land, but ruthlessly dominated by the Israelis, who are the occupying power in the Palestinian Territories. Some Palestinians are Christians.
