Ostensibly, the Crusaders invaded the Middle East to recapture the Holy Land.
Muslims living in the Holy Land during the Crusades likely viewed the crusaders as invaders and aggressors who threatened their land, religion, and way of life. They would have seen the crusaders as a violent and oppressive force that aimed to conquer their territories and impose their own beliefs on them. This led to significant tensions and conflicts between the two groups during this period.
