Who witnessed Mohamed's ascension in Jerusalem?
He is the sole human to testify of it.
But you know what?
They asked him to prove that he was in Jerusalem. The people of Makkah knew he had never travelled there.
Muhammad not only described Jerusalem down to its little streets, (Muhammad later said that, though he could not remember much of what he saw, Allah showed it to him as he spoke), but he also described the condition of a particular rest stop down to details of how a glass was laying on its side in a particular place. So they sent out a rider to that rest stop. He returnrd leter that day to report that Muhammad was right.
But even more than that, Muhammad said that he passed a caravan of x number of camels and x number of men carrying goods that were from such and such a place. He said that the caravan would arrive to Makkah around mid day.
And it did.

How long did it take for the three kings to get to Jesus?
The Bible never mentions three kings who visited Jesus, but Matthew's Gospel does talk of magi who followed a star westward to Jerusalem then south-east to Bethlehem, where they found the baby Jesus. The word magi actually refers to Zoroastrian priests, but it is usually translated into English as 'wise men'. The wise men, in turn, are sometimes referred to as kings, but we should remember that it was the biblical author's intention to refer to them as priests.
There is no historical reference to the magi, wise men or kings, nor are they mentioned by Luke's Gospel, so we must rely solely on Matthew's Gospel for information about these people, but this Gospel does not say when the wise men or kings began their journey or when they arrived in Bethlehem. Therefore, we can not say how long their journey took.
Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the world's Anglicans, has described the story of the three wise men as nothing but a "legend" and says there is little evidence that they existed. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) calls Matthew's story of the magi, Christian midrash and says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi(the kings) were not actual people. If there were no wise men, kings or magi, then we can never answer how long their journey took.
Why was Jerusalem such an important city in the crusades?
- it is where Jesus was crucified (as believed by Christians)
- It is where prophet Muhammad (PBUH) started his miraculous journey to the Heavens.
- for Muslims: AlQods (or Jerusalem) is important for Muslims for having there the third holiest Mosque (AlMasjid AlAqsa) and because prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reached there on the Israa&Mi3raj miracle and from where he ascended to the Heavens by God will during this miracle.
- For Christians: Jerusalem is important for having the most sacred Christian Cathedral (Resurrection church or Kainsat Alqiyamah) and for Jesus being raised up there.
The Contributor RKaddoura has the following opinion:"Muslims Believe that Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Israel, and all the other prophets of the God are Muslims. Jerusalem is considered is the holy land, and Jerusalem is like the capital of the holy land. The holy land should belong to the believers. Muslims want to establish the word of the creator over that land and enforce the rules of the creator over that land. It has the place of all of the prophets,. Muslims believe that they are the carrier of the right message of the God. Muslims like to establish the word of the God on the face of the earth and in the holy land. Muslims want Jerusalem pure from infidels and disbelievers, and anti God people. Jerusalem has big significance to Muslims because Muslims like to preserve Jerusalem to the way the God loves it to be preserved. The Muslims highly honored all the prophets or the messengers of the God from Mohammed, Jesus, Solomon, David, Joseph, Israel, Moses, Abraham, and all of the other prophets. Another significance to the Muslims is that the Muslims like and love to honor the last prophet of the creator the messenger Mohammed(peace up on him) because he descended to heaven from Jerusalem from the Dome of the Rock."

The Jerusalem cross, also known as Crusaders' cross

Alternately, all five crosses can symbolize the five wounds of Christ during the Passion, the Pentateuch and, presumably, the first five Christian Churches.

I doubt it, except for normal background radiation for a stone structure.

What was the only crusade to recapture Jerusalem?
it was a crusade launched by Pope Urban 2 in 1095. The recapture of Jesuralem was achieved in 1099.
It was the first major event to cause a division between Jews and Christians, or followers of 'The Way'. Christians started to separate themselves from Jews, and became more pro-Roman. This is an explanation for the glowing review of Pilate, and the discrimination of the Jewish priests. Christians allowing non-Jews and belief that Jesus was the Messiah caused further split.
