Interestingly insightful tidbits:
1: In some parts of the Mid East, school children are taught that there were no less than seven world wars.
2: Mohamed considered the Christians to be a sort of diluted ally during the earlier parts of Islam due to their belief in Christ.
3: Jesus Christ is one of five prophets in Islam. Belief in his virgin birth is paramount for a Muslim.
4: The Christian death toll is still higher than that of the Muslims.
5: Always remember: the lunatic fringe (al Qaeda or the KKK) are the deviants. Most people just don't care that much.

The European Christians' wars against Muslims primarily refer to the Crusades, a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns that began in the late 11th century. The Crusades aimed to reclaim Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control, driven by a mix of religious fervor, territorial ambition, and economic interests. Notable Crusades include the First Crusade (1096-1099) and the Third Crusade (1189-1192), which involved prominent figures like Richard the Lionheart. These conflicts had lasting impacts on Christian-Muslim relations and shaped the political landscape of the Mediterranean region.
The Holy Lands are important to both the Christians and Muslims. The crusades began when the Muslims began denying Christians access to the sacred sites.

Christians and Muslims fought over the power of Jerusalem and this is how the Christians recieved the name 'The Crusaders'.

The crusades began when the Muslims stole the holy land of the Christians, Jerusalem. 3 main crusades were held to gain back the land. The christians had advance technologies and won the first crusade, but the Muslims quickly advanced their technologies to match those of the Christians and ended up loosing nothing. Slowly, however, the Muslim's declining society caused the Christians to slowly chip away at their land, until they once again were able to regain Jerusalem and a few other cities.
