The Christian theology in question is called 'amillenialism'. Basically Amillenialism teaches that the kingdom of God is happening now and that Satan is bound. (The opposing view called 'pre-millenialism' says that this 1000-year period described in Revelation will occur on earth after the coming of the king). During the millennium the saints rule from Jerusalem. With this belief that the millenialism is now, amillenialists try (and have tried) to set up this kingdom on earth. The violence that occurred was their self-justification. Christians and Jews for centuries have tried to set up this kingdom without the King. The King will come, and there is fire in his eyes, because he is coming to judge the world and to separate the sheep from the goats. So the King will be violent. But today is the day of repentance. Today is the day to seek and to save those who are lost.

Why does author of this document call the legacy of the crusades a bitter one?
The crusaders tried to justify the violence in the name of religion. The Crusades and their failure should have taught that economic greed and desire for political prominence can lead to fanaticism and massacre. But the lesson has been ignored. The evidence lies in the many conflicts that have continued to stain many parts of our planet with blood.

The three main reasons given for the Crusades were:Rescuing fellow Christians from invasion and persecutionConquering or retaking lands in the possession of MuslimsFulfilling personal vows to go on a crusadeIn reality the majority crusaders went because they were told to go. Many of those in charge saw an opportunity to increase trade (become rich) by invading the Near East. The average crusader was not into the "big picture" or even where they were going. Some did not know if they should pack a lunch for the adventure or if they could come home for meals.

How does Christianity and capitalism cause violence?
Neither Christianity nor capitalism in themselves cause violence. There are many historical accounts of people inciting Christian or capitalistic (or at least imperialistic) motives to justify violence. Individuals who claim that Christianity justifies their violence misunderstand or misrepresent the beliefs of the Christian faith. And while pure capitalism is considered by some to be a winner-take-all system where one stops at nothing (including violence) to rise to the top, this type of capitalism is not sustainable. Only a form of capitalism that regulates business to ensure healthy competition and fair compensation of laborers is sustainable. Otherwise a business may conquer everyone, while starving it's laborers and have no one left to by it's services or products.

Does the Medieval theme of Harry Potter proves that it does have holy theme like the Crusades?
I don't think it "proves" anything; the two things are unrelated. And I don't see anything about the Crusades which would justify including it under the category "holy themes" - those were basically wars fought for power.
