I totally agree with the question but there is a reason; the first Crusades were called for by Pope Urban II, it was a declared Holy War. The main reason he called for them was to recapture the holy land Jerusalem (Palestine at the time) from Muslim control. Of course there were other factors involved but that's the main reason.
