Muslims have been fighting Christians since the earliest incarnations of Islam. It started before Muslim Turks invaded Jerusalem and ceased the city and the surrounding lands in the name of Islam. The Crusades were started to liberate the Holy Land and to protect Christian Pilgrimages who would go to Jerusalem from all over Europe and Asia Minor. The Templar's and Knights of Malta were two orders charged with this duty. There were arguably 9 crusades all lead by various kings and emperors. In Turkey where one of the Gospels was written is the Patriarch of The Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church is the second largest Christian Church in the world and dates back to the apostles. After Constantinople fell to Muslim Invaders (much like Jerusalem) they ceased most church properties and either killed Christians who would not convert or made them pay the jizah which is a tax Muslims make non-Mulsims pay in order to practice their religion. Egypt, Turky, Iran, Iraq, and other "Muslim" countries were all chrisitan countries long before Muslim Turks invaded.

Most Palestinians are Sunni Muslims with a minority of Christians.

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.
The Christians started a crusade against Muslims in the 11th century.
