No. That was terrorism. .

Side: No

I think a lot of people forget that the Muslims were invading Europe, they were actually in Spain at the time and the 1st crusade was needed to push them back, but besides pushing them back aspect of the 1st crusade, the rest of it was un-justifiable.

Side: No

I wouldn't justify it, I'm sure some could. Even though ultimately the religions that preached peace couldn't justify it.

No, taking Jerusalem by force, killing many many people, herding Jews into synagogues and burning them is not justifiable. In fact(I am achually a christian), back 1000 years ago the muslims were a lot more tolerant than the catholics.

Side: No

I don't think killing anyone is justifiable in a war or crusades.

Some of them yes. Spain would still be Islamic now if it weren't for the crusades I'm quite glad that in moving here I didn't have to learn Arabic :P

Only the 1st crusade dealt with taking back Spain, how do you justify the other 7?

Side: No
