The Crusades had a significant impact on churches by increasing the authority and wealth of the Roman Catholic Church as it played a central role in organizing and endorsing the Crusades.

One effect of the Crusades on Muslim kingdoms was the strengthening of military defenses and unity among various Muslim rulers in response to the threat posed by the Christian Crusaders. The Crusades also led to increased trade and cultural exchanges between Muslim and Christian regions, influencing the development of both civilizations.
Salah al-Din (Saladin) emerged as a prominent Muslim leader during the Crusades and played a key role in the Muslim victory against the Crusaders. The Crusades spurred his rise to power and allowed him to unite Muslim forces against the Christian invaders.

They played a big role IN the Crusades, but I'm not very sure that they actually affected the outcome. The assassins worked for Saladin, the Muslim King, and they would be sent out to attack Christian soldiers under cover.
