The Crusades were horrible. If it was happening today, you'd bet we'd be fighting against. Christianity has reformed itself. The Catholic Church even accepts evolution now. Most Christians see most of the Bible as allegory and cherry pick out only the good parts. For the most part, it's a peaceful religion now with only the occasional loony from time to time.
Islam on the other hand can pretty much never be reformed. It's the word of God and they pride themselves on the fact that it cannot be altered.
Unless you are a follower of Islam, you are an infidel. If you are a woman, you are worth less. Leaving the religion is punishable by death. Being gay is punishable by death. Do you really want these ideas in Western civilization? It's the antithesis of what we've been fighting against for decades if not centuries.
Were the Crusades a response to anything?
