Because mainly all crusaders or Franks/Franj should have been Christians and Jerusalem was were Christ was said to have been most of his life, in that day and age people were very religious and the thoughta Muslims and other non Christians controlling the city also scared and angered them.

There had also been rumours that Muslims had been mistreating Christian pilgrims

and this, again angered them.

What two major religions are fighting over Jerusalem?

A:The dispute over East Jerusalem is not about religion, but about land.

Answer 1The Holy LandAnswer 2While 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.

Why the Christians were upset that the Muslims had gained control of the holy land?

Christians were politically upset, not religiously as claimed. They invaded the holy land just to get the political support of the church and of their people. When they got control of the lands, they used the Mosques, Muslims worship buildings, as stables for their horses and tortured Muslims. However, when the lands are under control of Muslims, before and after the Crusades, Christians were enjoying full freedom in practicing their ritual worships in a friendly and peacefully environment, as confirmed by Western historians.
