Jerusalem is the third holiest city in Islam, after Mecca and Medina. Judaism and Islam have their differences, but they also have their similarities which are not shouted loudly. For instance, Abraham is especially important to both faiths, although they disagree on which son he offered as a human sacrifice to God. Jews say Isaac, and Muslims say Ishmael.

∙ 11y agoMuslims do not pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Although Jerusalem hosts Al Aqsa masjid and the Dome of the rock, and is the third most holy site in Islam.

What are four reason people went on crusades?
Well the Christians were the ones who launched the crusades and they did this because they couldn't safely travel to Jerusalem (which they called the Holy Land). They couldn't make safe pilgrimages to Jerusalem any more because the Seljuk Turks (who were Muslims) were conquering a lot of land aroundJerusalem. The Christians launched the first crusade and they captured Jerusalem. But they owed some of their victory to the Muslims who were already breaking off into different states. Four Reasons people went on crusades: • Christians couldn't make safe pilgrimages to Jerusalem (The Holy Land) • Seljuk Turks were taking over too much land around Jerusalem • Muslims were making it hard for Christians to get to Jerusalem • Christians wanted to be able to go to the Holy Land because it was a great religious site for them (it was also a great religious site for Muslims and Jews, for all different reasons)

'Pilgrim(s)' are a person or a group of people who are making a journey somewhere for religious purposes. The 'pilgrimage' refers to the journey they make. For Muslims the 'pilgrimage' would be the Hajj and the 'pilgrims' would be those Muslims making the Hajj that year. For Christians the 'pilgrimage' may be a trip to the Holy Land (Jerusalem) and the 'pilgrims' are the people making the visit.
